About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Whistle While You Work

You might be asking yourself,
TwoBuckHowie
how come you don't answer those hard hitting questions anymore?
The ones we didn't know we wanted to ask.
I'll tell you why,
because some people have jobs!
Sorry,
I like saying that.
I didn't mean anything by it.
If you are a computer geek,
or just your average coach potato computer geek like I was for the past nine years,
getting a job
and meeting new people is a lot of fun.
And you know me,
I love to talk,
and meeting more people every day gives me ample opportunities to babble.
But,
I did come across something interesting today you might like to read about.
A
Villain
of giant proportions!

By Matt Novak for Gizmodo.com
"What would you do if you were a billionaire? Elon Musk is trying to get to Mars. Peter Thiel wants to live forever. And Jeff Bezos, well, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos apparently wants to rule the world in a gigantic robot. At least that’s the impression you might get from the photos and video taken yesterday. Last night at Amazon’s annual robotics conference Jeff Bezos slipped into something a bit more comfortable—a 13-foot tall robot designed by Korean company Hankook Mirae Technology. Bezos, much like his fellow tech billionaires, seems to be on the fast track to supervillain status before we’re all inevitably annihilated in a nuclear war started by one of Trump’s butt-tweets."
 “Why do I feel so much like Sigourney Weaver,”
Bezos quipped, referring to the Alien movie franchise.

Any questions out there?
TwoBuck,
do deer whistles really work?
I do not know?
After running into a deer myself last year,
and knowing that most of my family have gone through it themselves,
in the great
it's worth a try.
Or is it?

By For Deer and Deer Hunting.com
"Invented in Austria in 1979, deer whistles are still distributed by many companies in Europe and the United States. Simple air-activated whistles are relatively inexpensive ($5 to $10 apiece online), but electronic systems may cost several hundred dollars. The devices are generally attached to the front of the vehicle, and manufacturers claim they produce ultrasonic frequencies and warn animals of approaching vehicles, thereby reducing deer-vehicle collisions."
 
"In Utah, researchers Laura Romin and Larry Dalton detected no differences in responses from 150 groups of free-ranging mule deer to vehicles equipped with and without deer whistles. Although some deer ran away from the test vehicle, they did so regardless of the presence or absence of whistles. Considering the challenges of producing sound at appropriate intensities and distances from a moving vehicle, deer hearing capabilities, human safety concerns, and our observed lack of behavioral responses of deer to sound treatments, auditory deterrents do not appear to be appropriate for prevention of deer-vehicle collisions.”

Well,
people who I have talked to say they work.
So who are you going to believe?
People who have gotten
Grants
to do the research,
or your average
Beer Drinking Joe
who goes
Hunting
once a year?
Your right,
I am buying one tomorrow!

This is,
Whistling While I Work
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“If you want me, just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you? You just put your lips together and blow."
- Lauren Bacall, -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
