Early one Sunday morning I discovered some vandals spray painted all around the sides of my neighbor’s new beige truck with red paint. After delivering the bad news to Martin, and his crazy level dropped to a tad above normal, it was agreed there was nothing to accomplish until Monday morning. Just then… And only then, Martin’s little girl came out and shouted “Why don’t you get the WD-40 out of your tool box and clean it off?”

It removed the unwanted paint beautifully, and did not harm the original paint job on Martin’s new truck. Impressive! WD-40 who knew? ’Water Displacement #40′.

The product resulted in a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser that would protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. WD-40’s name comes from the project seeking for a ‘water displacement’ compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40.

The Convair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts. Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you. When you read the “shower door” part, try  it. It’s the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It’s a miracle!  Then try it on your stove top … Viola! It’s now shinier than it’s ever been. You’ll be amazed at many uses, and what WD40 is made from. WD-40  uses:

40. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch.
41. WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.

China has overtaken Japan to become the world’s second-largest economy. Nixon was ahead of his time introducing capitalism to China more than three decades ago. Their rapid growth has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. What was that? Hundreds of Millions out of poverty?

Maybe our congress should take heed of how to eradicate poverty? Depending on how fast its exchange rate rises, China is on course to overtake the United States and jump into the No.1 spot sometime around 2025, according to projections by the World Banks.

Proof positive creation of our welfare state was disastrous. Thanks President Johnson, what a pal to all those imprisoned to poverty by an out of control government seeking total control.

Called “white nose syndrome,” the fungus is believed to be associated with the problem, but it may not contribute to the actual cause of death. It appears that the impacted bats deplete their fat reserves months before they would normally emerge from hibernation, and die as a result. Maybe a hefty order of McDonald’s french fries is in order?

“What we’ve seen so far is unprecedented,” said Alan Hicks, DEC’s bat specialist. “Most bat researchers would agree that this is the gravest threat to bats they have ever seen.” Holy White Nose Syndrome Batman!

The real reason the US Government is closing all the caves in national forests and federal land could be more than the standard scare tactics used literally by all federal agencies. The answer may be that the caves are the safest place to be during a surface catastrophe… Like 2012? It’s difficult to make ready while pesky hikers are in the way.

The Department of Land Management closed all these cave for one year blaming hikers for spreading the disease. I’ll wager at the end of the first year additional research will be necessary, and the cave will remain closed for yet another year. Coincidentally just after December 21, 2010… Better get ready, they are.
