In case you were wondering: This is what Justice in America is supposed to be about

Hat tip to weer'd for bringing this to our attention.

Oh by the way…

It was extremely windy here last night.  Sadly my weather station doesn’t have an anemometer so I can’t tell you exactly how windy it was. But I can tell you that some guests had the windows rattling pretty good!

Anywho…  When I checked this morning the solar panels on the roof looked fine.  They came through the wind storm unscathed.  The meter on the top end of the system (the one listed as optional in the schematic) said the panels were producing about 24 VDC.  That’s their typical open circuit voltage in full sun.  The charge controller shows the batteries at 13.5 VDC which is fully charged.  So everything there is working exactly as it should.

I still feel that I should be doing something with this extra capacity.  I’m not sure what though.  

Hmmm…  Maybe I should set up a trail camera in the back yard to catch the park manager violating the 940CMR 10.03(8)(b) requirement to give the residents reasonable notice that he’s going to come on our lots.  I’ve received several nastygrams from them about things you can’t see from the street.  I have yet to receive a single notification that he was gong to come around to inspect my lot.  Criminal trespass?  He’s soaking in it!

All they care about is the money

And all of that is worthless fiat!

Today’s headline from Boston.com:

Probation commissioner resigns amid scandal

Last week Cam Edwards had a “Deal of the Day” segment on Cam & Co, relating the story of Dominic Cinelli, a 57 year old career criminal who it turns out had been serving three concurrent life sentences in a Massachusetts prison.  Turns out he was granted parole and was back out on the streets anyway.  A week ago tomorrow, at the height of the blizzard, he and two cronies robbed the Kohl’s in Woburn.  That was the day after Christmas, by the way.  On their way out they were intercepted by police and Cinelli opened fire.  (I guess the whole ‘felon in position of a firearm’ thing wasn’t a concern of his. After all, he was released from prison anyway despite being sentenced to three, count ‘em three life sentences!)  A Woburn cop, John Maguire, who was planning to retire from the force come October was murdered by Cinelli.  Cinelli was killed when other officers returned fire.

Three life sentences, yet he’s out on parole and kills a cop.  But the probation commissioner, who’s office was supposed to be keeping an eye on this guy, resigns as a result of a scandal over misuse of taxpayer funds.  Not because one of his charges has reoffended – and killed someone in the process.  I guess that’s par for the course.

The person who should be resigning it the head of the parole board who let this creep out in the first place!

Better still – fire ‘em all and start over!
