STOP THE WORLD - I WANT TO GET OFF!
It has been a while since my last post but nothing has really changed. Our government is still ignoring the laws and when caught at it do not get punished so they do it again.
The polio campaign is still fighting to get the vaccine to everyone in the Islamic areas but the Islamic idiots are shooting the workers. They don't really care about their kids catching polio. Whether they are barbarians or just thirst for power it really doesn't make any difference, they do not believe in God either. Maybe we need to jihad them.
Iraq after telling us to get out now wants us back because the rebels are out of control. They still keep inviting them back into the government and wonder why they obey no law. We just keep throwing money in a bottomless pit.
Anybody want to drive on the Bay Bridge after it opens?
How about our super fast train that ignores the proposition and spends our money as they please.
Obama and Gov Brown says all is good (they are still being paid).

The government is still at it.
The push for big gun control is on. Next is the UN Treaty. While the country has other serious problems with spending, the never consider the cost for their legislation or its value.
The government has too much corruption in its folds. That is a problem that needs some big focus. California PUC says public safety is not a priority. The new Bay Bridge never tested the bolts that failed and they are planning to open the bridge anyway. The drug company that was putting out contaminated drugs that the FDA knew about back in 2008 was never closed, fined or anything else until people started dying. To much crime and not enough oversight. just pass a new regulation but still don't enforce the old ones. No one goes to jail.
The public needs to wake up and start writing the people they elected and demand they start representing the people. They have a lot of hearings but not much happens as there are only a few that really want to get something accomplished.

I guess I am not a very prolific blogger as it has been a while but I have some things to get off my chest and it really does not relate to the JnR Hotel as posts here probably should. The hotel is fine. Guests keep coming and the rooms keep getting cleaned for the next guests. It is a lot of work to keep everthing as nice or nicer than the chains even if it costs a few extra bucks. The hotel is for sale. I am almost 73 and it is time to go visit the things the guests keep telling me about. Since I need to be here to serve the guests, I can't go very far or for very long. So if you are thinking of a neat business come take a look. You can control the revenue easily with the open/no vacancy sign. Stay open and folks come. Close up and they don't. Stay closed too long and it takes a while to get going again. Back to what I really wanted to write about.
The government has not only a spending problem but a management problem. If the management could be brought under control the spending could be reined in. There are so many places to cut without hurting the general public. It is only a matter of citizen involvement to overcome the lobby effort of several big business groups. A few examples:
Homeland Security: They have bought enough ammunition for their target practice too keep up their efficiency to last 100 years. They have bought an great number of armored vechicles and caskets. I guess in case their tarket practice gets out of hand. They have several detention centers ready to open. There use seems to be a secret but it could house us because it seems they have much more space than necessary to house real terrorists. They bought xray machines for the airports that are not good for those subjected to them. They are now replacing them a second time. We will see what they have picked out. Radiation exposure does cause cancer. Frequent travelers do not need so much exposure. Are the airports the only place the terrorists might attack? How much do we have to give up to think we are safe. I say think because you really are not safe.
Federal Drug Administration: Their goal is to protect us from bad drugs, medicine and food. So far they are not doing as good a job as other countries are doing. Our health care costs are higher than other countries that have healthier residents. We have a slew of drugs that have beaucoup of warnings about causing death and they often do. We have drug companies with big lobbys constantly bombarding decision makers with demands of drug approvals with misleading clinical trials. They drug companies already know how much to set aside for lawsuits. Remember the compounding pharmacy that was selling their stuff across the country illegially and was a dirty place. It took several years to get them shut down until after folks started dying from their contaminated mixtures. We raid vitamin companies that make bonifide health claims and attack doctors that use methods that show excellent results because their treatments do not use drugs that can be patented. An example is cherries. The manufactures of cherry extract were told it would be classified as a drug and they would have to go through drug trials to get approval to sell the fruit because of the health claims, even though the claims were true. A division of the FDA is the USDA whose job it is to keep the food safe. If you pay attention to the recalls, the product is always on the store shelf before action has begun and people have already gotten sick. Animals are given injections to keep them well in the squalled conditions they are kept in under the guise of we have to make a profit. Free range chickens only have to be able to get outside once a day for a minute or two. I don't think the people think that is really free range. While they make a profit, we suffer. Food has a direct relationship to health. High fructose corn syrup was in use for some time before people woke up and found out that that was one of the reasons they were getting belly fat and diabeties. They even tried to rename it to sugar so the public wouldn't know what they were eating. Regulations are not well enforced. More often than not just a warning letter is sent out and any action is a long way off.
The Federal Communication Commision has a war with industry that never seems to cease. Newspapers, Radio and TV are constantly attempted to be bought out by single corporations decreasing the validity of the news we get to read and hear because they do not want to tell anyone about things that do not compliment their holdings. At every hearing attempts to create new rules are shot down because the communicators are not going to be able to continue with business as usual. Things have really changed over the last decade. A monopoly of the media was not allowed. Now it seems ok. So far no one has yet taken over the internet, but I bet it will happen.
Well enough laundry to air for one day. I have to get back to work and do the book keeping, checking in guests, supervising the contractors to see if the job they did is what I hired them for. I can't tell them how to do the task but I sure can make certin they get what I want them to do done well.

Mid May
Change is continous. I haven't posted lately and everthing is new and improved. It is a lot like advertisers and politicians. If we could only get them to tell the whole truth.
It is time to gear up for the Super Bull. A one day super rodeo. Stop by the snack bar and support the Surprise Valley Chamber with their fund raising efforts. Of course the Ft Bidwell BBQ comes first. It is hard to believe that there are so many things to do every week all year long in the valley. Check out the calendar of events page on the website http:www.jnrhotel.com and click the calendar tab.
I bought a cool instrument called the Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analyzer. I am amazed how much it can tell you about the state of your body in about 2 minutes. Magnetic resonance is an amazing science.
The hotel has been as busy as my wife wants it to be. She put the No Vacancy sign up saying we are full enough until the laundry is caught up. I'm testing a new coffee pot. It grinds the coffee, makes it and keeps it hot in a thermo caraf. I think I will have to keep it in the kitchen though as it is too complex to let the guests fool with it. Seems to make excelent coffee though and takes a while to clean.

The official squirrel round up was a great success for the Surprise Valley Chamber of Commerce, http://www.surprisevalleychamber.com, and will help us to keep giving away scholarships as well as promote our local businesses. The weather threatened but only occured at night and wasn't bad anyway so all had a great hunt.
There was an acticle posted on myoutdoorbuddy.com http://www.myoutdoorbuddy.com/hunting_report.php?Hunting=5121 and includes some great photos. Check it out.
The weather here is still unsettled. We had a bit of rain yesterday and last night but the sun has returned to give us another great hunt day.
On our web site, http://www.jnrhotel.com, under calendar are the upcoming events including a change in the Fair date. Also under Weather you can check out what is in store. Just remember to check out the NE corner of the state as the weather here is often different than elsewhere. With the valley sitting between 2 mountain ranges we don't seem to get as much rain & snow as anyone else does.
If you are a Rotarian or interested in being one, come to one of our dinner meetings on Wednesday nights at 7pm. We are raffeling off 7 pistols this year at our fly-in and 2 rifles at the fair, a .22 Golden Boy and a .17 Savage HMR with scope. The barrel is really different with its scrolling design and a pretty rifle. You don't have to be there to win.

Burning Man 2011
It seems that this years Burners are younger and less mature as they are not able to curb their enthusiasm in the evening hours or have empathy for those fellow burners that are sleeping. Maybe it was the weather since their wasn't any devastating dust storms cutting visability to 0. Maybe it was the young age of the noisy ones. Maybe they weren't dirty enough or tired enough from the desert. Maybe they didn't have fun enough or it was too much to turn off. Those that I talked with said the commute off the plaza was reasonably short compared to other years even though the event was at the limit + of attendence and the weather although hot was great. Maybe next year more will follow the burner way.

We need to get the Fair Tax Bills (HR25 & S13) passed. The tax code is too complex for any resonable understanding and therefore easily modofied to give big tax breaks to those individuals and corportations that send in their campaign donations. The Fax Tax Bill is very small and very tight. If you purchase something new you pay the tax that is included in the price. The merchant sends it in for you just like the sales tax colected for the state.
After computing the poverty level of tax it is sent to everyone as a prebate. So you have the dollars to pay the tax on stuff you are going to spend your money on.
The secret to the sucess of this tax is EVERYONE pays it on EVERY new item-no exceptions - the rich, the poor, the old the young, the legal tourist, the legal alien, the illegial alien, congress men and senators, everyone! That is good.
Better yet all other federal taxes are cancelled! Business tax, payroll tax, income tax, corporate tax. The IRS too because their is no tax for them to collect!
Since everyone will have more money without having to pay these taxes they can spend more. Corporations will feel secure hiring again as demand will be up. The Government income will be up since the Fair Tax is spread throughout the economy including the foreigners. Read about it. It is a very novel plan with far reaching benefits.
