That's all fine and dandy but, what about the yellow, white and green ones?

Oh, well, just wrap those all together around a piece of re bar and stick it in the ground -

Oh, OK, I got the picture -

Yellow?

With late night shows filming from home, you can really see how most young singing acts are completely talentless raw.

Oh, ya, the yellow one - that's the one that goes to the GFI. Yes, the GFI - maybe your model didn't include that option? -

Not to worry, they are over rated anyway. If the circuit gets overloaded the wiring will melt in half and stop the flow of current. -

Now that brings to mind a back-in-Santa Clara Valley - story.

Down on my research station, I had an large, old irrigation pump to irrigate the 130 acres. Well, one day the motor went bad, so I had this rep from FMC (Food Machinery Corporation), come out and sold me a new pump motor that could pull water from 500 feet down.

They delivered the motor and hooked it up to the underground pump - but did not wire it up - That was on a Saturday. I called ol John, the sales rep, and told him that I needed the motor wired up ASAP - like TOMORROW because my crops that I was experimenting on were drying up!

He said that he would meet me down there tomorrow (Sunday) and have the motor wired up. He arrived alone. I asked him when the electrician was going to arrive. He said because it was Sunday he couldn't arrange for his electrician.

We looked at that 440 volt motor and ol John said that he could wire it up. He kept asking ME if I thought it looked right. I TOLD HIM that had never messed with a motor that large and I wasn't about to start now. He finished wiring it.

We then went over to the power poll and he closed a large knife switch.

BAM! a big loud red fireball spewed from all around that motor, followed by blue flames.-

He said that we must have wired it up wrong - I asked him where he got that WE stuff!

He said, no problem, it was under warranty -

The next day a new motor was delivered, installed AND wired up.

I've noticed quite a few times watching car clips the person is talking to camera one, then there will another angle where camera two is off to the side recording the talker still talking to camera one. I find it weird.
What is this supposed to do?

Examples at 0.51 and 1.12

Yea, I've noticed a lot of use of that lately too. I think its to say, hey look at us we have TWO cameras, we're the real deal.

Or maybe I'm just making that up in my head.

We spotted a Western Tanager in the yard this morning. Neat.

I get the same vibe with that. It's lazy.

Do you have to have a "WIDE LOAD" sign to legally drive that car down the highway? -
