WEll it is that day and being a jazz guitarist no gig for
me. That is great worst night in the world to play. Had to
ride inside today on the trainer too windy, wet, and cold. I
should probably clean up the Habby Disc bike but if the
truth be known probably will ride the same and not be a lot
better off.
The next though is what to have for dinner. I had a New York
Strip yesterday so no steak today. I am thinking of possible
a doctored up Jack's Pizza. I would assume no one has had
one of these frozen pizzas but I like them. ON sale
sometimes 3 for 10$. I can knock a full one out just right.
My next project is I have a $25 visa gift card to burn but
you cannot really use them online that I can see. They are
really a PIA better just to gift money.
It looks like no problem tomorrow will not be riding outside.

Did his evaluation of American History include the Brit's begging the
USA for assistance in two world wars?
Don't get me wrong. I'm happy my ancestors were able to help.
By the way, archeologists have discovered American inhabitants from
14,000 years ago, with some estimates as far back as 40,000 years ago.
Why the European cultures became more productive is anyone's guess,
but I don't believe it anything to do with race. Perhaps (my opinion)
it was just that the vast amount of available land did not precipitate
as much tribal warring. Wars seem to have been the mother of
invention.
Yes, there was tribal warring in prehistoric America, but not on the
scale of what happened in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa,
with massive armies invading and conquering, huge territories and
enslaving the inhabitants.

The American indians were no slouches in the slavery
business. The Mayan city states were every bit as organized
for repetitive small wars as was Europe at the time.

I have used a Visa gift card for online payments, it worked fine. They
may not all be the same, this one did have my name on it.

I received a $25 Visa gift card for my birthday that doesn't seem to
work. It's registered, and the website says there's $25 available, but
I've tried it both on-line and at point-of-sale a few times and it never
goes through.

I'd bet there are tons of gift cards that were paid for but
lost, or otherwise never used. It might be an important
revenue stream for some businesses.
