Perpetual Paradise

I read a kare11.com article about this school bus driver catching a DWI on the job and found a couple points of humor from the story.  I realize the subject matter is rather serious and the potential disaster utterly horrific, but…

I’m sure glad I am not in his shoes

I wonder what the penalty is for a DWI and a vehicular collision while driving a school bus with 7 children aboard.  When a Minnesota Judge pronounces sentence for a 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th felony, he is mandated by the sentencing guideline laws to fork out the maximum.  Should the judge act like a train master and boxcar the sentences, the news headlines could well read that:

Eagan Bus Driver Receives Life Sentence on DWI

Usually 61 year-olds don’t do very well in prison from what I understand.  Catching 37 years means harvesting an early release in 24 years making him about 85 when released for good behavior.  I guess I do feel sorta sorry for this guy.  I don’t know if his actions were a daily thing or if this was a once only deal.  What he did was wrong.   He is very lucky that fate chose a parked car as his demolition derby opponent.  Had the wheel of fate spun to “Being T-boned by a loaded gravel train” (dump-truck with trailer), we would be crying over the 7 students who died March 08, 2010 at the hands of a drunken school bus driver.

When I read the words “a survey by the federal government” I felt rather amused. I’m rather tolerant of what other people do around me and I tend to see quite a bit, I think the numbers are a little higher. From what I’ve heard discussed, the idea of participation in “a survey by the federal government” would not be received very well. To be honest, governmental reports fail to inspire confidence in me, I feel like I can’t trust either side.

I have always been of the persuasion that our government has failed the younger generations in the anti-smoking war. Congress needs to take a stand and pick a date to represent the beginning of the end of tobacco usage in the United States. No one born after this magical date can have or use any tobacco product. Preventing them from using and becoming addicted is the key. The argument of denying their rights to kill themselves slowly seems mute in comparison to the consequences. I speak from experience.

For those addicted to the wicked week, let us who already smoke finish our lives out in peace – I’ll grow tobacco in order to continue smoking – the need and desire for a cigarette is entwined is the fabric of every cell in my body. There is no reason why someone who does not yet shouldn’t be protected from this fate. Suicide and assisted suicide are already against the law. By broadening the definition of suicide to include smoking cigarettes is not that great of a leap. We don’t think twice about the prohibition against handling a range of hazardous materials. No one born after that magical date may not legally smoke any cigarette product while within the borders of the United States. A simple idea with effective results which actually keeps the status quo.

Early Sunday morning (February 28, 2010), Cpl. Doug Blume of the Lewiston Orchards, Idaho Police Department reported a new kitchen remodeling project has commenced at the home of Teresa Roesner-Weatherby and Bill Weatherby.  The project’s estimated $50,000 cost will be a direct contribution toward local economic recovery remarked Teresa Roesner-Weatherby and Bill Weatherby . No permits had been secured before Jonathan J. Schlee, 30, who was arrested on a misdemeanor driving charge after his 003 Dodge pickup started the demolition process while Jonathan participated in sexual activity with a passenger.

This is how News Organizations report the story.

“A couple escaped unharmed after they left their kitchen for the living room”

Imtribune News – Pickup crash heavily damages Orchards home

“A Lewiston man was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence”

A New Face For An Old Friend

February 12th, 2010 — 8:17am

Perpetual Paradise has been around as a website for awhile now.  It was one of my first domains. Why does it look like a brand new site with this being the first “post”?  I will be happy to tell you why it looks like a new website without much content.  It looks like a new site because I had been using the CMS Zirkula and since the installed version needed an upgrade, an upgrade was applied as recommended which resulted in total failure.  Yes, yes, yes I did do full (complete) backups of both software and database… No, No, No, I didn’t feel like going through all the work of attempting to degrade the software which would leave in need of an upgrade.  If the upgrade failed the first time, why wouldn’t it fail again?

I have already tried a variety of other software packages, none of which impressed me for what I wanted. They were excellent programs doing what they were designed to do, they just didn’t do what I wanted.

I have used WordPress elsewhere and thought it was fairly decent.  No complicated administrative section as like what I experienced with Zirkula (what a pain in the butt).  So now I shall try running Perpetual Paradise with WordPress.

Yes, I lost all the old content.  Will I try and reclaim it?  I don’t know?  And I am not even sure if it is worth the effort.

Not sure which setting it was, but there was a setting I encountered during set-up where I allowed others to sign-up here.  I have noticed people were signing up right a way which I felt was kinda odd so I checked out the e-mail addresses of those accounts with few details filled in and found that all I checked seem to be comment spammer addresses. Hmm, I wonder if I can create a group for them and share that information with other websites? (And yes, it would be totally my style to try and do such a thing. Hell, check out the source code for this post, it alone has 50 hidden Project Honey Pot links.  I operate one web server just to piss-off script kiddies, every vulnerability they seek returns a 200 code and a 6MB file filled with NOs. I need to learn how to throttle back how fast the page is returned. 512 bytes/second would be a good speed. Any suggestions?)  I am aimlessly wandering around in this post so it is time to cut it short.
