What was that Famous Story about a Man making a Fake Coin out of Ice in order to Buy Heat for his room? I believe it was set in England.

A Man Lived in a room that had a Coin Operated Heater. He Would Put a Shilling in the Machine, turn the handle and the heater would run for a few Hours... So... Since he Often Did Not Have Money... He made a coin shaped mold on the windowsill outdoors and filled it with water... When it Froze, he put the coin shaped ice into the machine and "bought" heat for a few hours... Then the Fake Coin melted removing all evidence of the Crime...

When walking down “Main Street” at the new Vigo County History Center, you will pass the Wabash Theater, Meis Department Store and a general store. Next you will notice a set of wrought iron stairs from Terre Haute Gas Company. The beauty you see sitting on the stairs is a gas meter, made by American Meter Company and “established” in 1834 in New York City. The company made its presence in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. This particular model seems to have been manufactured in Philly.

What makes this piece very interesting to us, is that it was coin-operated. Much like a jukebox or slot machine, you paid as you played.

SG Said: 

I stayed for a week in a furnished London flat in 1995. It had a wall mounted combi gas boiler for DHW and central heat.

One morning we had no heat or hot water and could not light the boiler. My traveling companion was steaming and wanted to call the rental agent. I said “Wait a sec, let me check something”.

The gas meter, behind an access panel in the kitchen, had a mag stripe card slot. The LCD display read “£0.0”.

There was a new card sitting on top of the meter. I stuck it in, heard a click and the display read “£50.0”. Presto! Back in business.

Saved by the habit of reading old English novels. That’s where I found out about coin operated gas meters. Since the temperature there almost never drops below freezing, they don’t have to worry about frozen pipes.

SOG Said:

I actually used to have one on display in my office at the gas company. One of the interesting things about those meters they typically worked with nickels. So for those clever folks who wanted to steal gas they made them selves little trays the shape of nickels filled them with water and froze them. They then used the frozen nickel shaped fake coins to get the meters to work. The old timers would know the customers were stealing gas because instead of finding coins in the meter they found "WATER".

We Must Evolve from Energy Hunter-Gatherers to Become Energy Farmers. - Quote from SchatzLab at Humboldt State University - Arcata, California

https://www.commondreams.org/news/2022/09/30/viral-parody-ad-chevron-admits-it-actively-murdering-you

The fake ad was released weeks after the U.K.-based group InfluenceMap revealed that the five largest fossil fuel companies--Chevron, BP, ExxonMobil, Shell, and TotalEnergies--spend a cumulative $750 million per year on public relations campaigns to make the corporations seem committed to climate action, while spending just 12% of their capital expenditures on low-carbon activities.

Big oil firms touted algae as climate solution. Now all have pulled funding.

Insiders aren’t surprised as ExxonMobil, the last remaining proponent of green algae biofuel, ends research.

and NOW... It's time for Some 

Anti-GOP Memes...

One of the high points of my life was performing "Uncle John's Band" at the Rainbow Gathering in Idaho. I met a young man and showed him the Chords and Lyrics that I had written down in my spiral notebook... After we played that song, he said: I don't want to learn any more songs, let's just play this one again...

We were sitting in the shade at the "Relaxation Station"... the very first place everyone walked past after leaving the parking lot... A lady was doing Tarot Card readings and we were passing around a bottle of TEA with some kind of stimulant in it... Someone told me it was ephedrine...  it did make me feel alert and optimistic... Since there was a constant flow of people walking by, it made perfect sense to Play the Same Song Again and Again and Again... Give the people what they want... 

There was a big meadow surrounded by forest and most people were camping under the trees. THEN... all of a sudden... the people out in the meadow were pointing up at the sky... dozens of people were talking excitedly and pointing at SOMETHING... So I stood up and walked out to the middle of the meadow and saw... a giant "Sun Dog" rainbow covering half of the sky. Ice Crystals at a Very High Elevation refracted the sunlight to make an astonishing display of colors... That's why everyone was cheering! This Gathering was near the Sawtooth Mountains... a truly miraculous place to camp...

On another day I played the Song "Aiko-Aiko" many times and walked all the way around 5,000 people waiting for dinner. They were sitting in a series of big circles... The Rainbow Gathering serves a big free meal every day in the afternoon. Everyone meets at Main Meadow and relaxes while the Servers dish up the food... Usually a Vegetable Rice meal... In theory, all a person needs to bring to the Gathering is a CUP... because many people put a lot of effort into buying and cooking and there are usually a dozen kitchens set up all over... The concept is that IF EVERYONE BRINGS FOOD AND SHARES, WE WILL ALL HAVE ENOUGH. I brought a couple of cans of Bugler roll your own tobacco and donated it to the "Nick at Night" tribe. They roll up cigarettes and distribute them freely to the group... You certainly wouldn't want to run out of smokes at the Gathering and suffer withdrawal symptoms... It's more fun to simply BLISS OUT and enjoy the bounty...  

~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~

For the Complete Story... 
I went to the gathering with a goal in mind. I wanted to play my guitar and sing in public. Yes, mission accomplished. Living in Chico, California and working at the plastics factory when there was a layoff, my wife suggested that I borrow the car and drive over to the gathering. My friend Mike Jensen wanted to go and so we checked the oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid and water and set out on a classic American road trip. We made it as far as Reno the first day and slept by the side of the road. Read More:

ZERO OWNERS ARRESTED by ICE... 680 Illegal Alien Workers Arrested in Mississippi... 380 Released... OOPS, They were Not Illegal After ALL!

The People that HIRE Illegal Aliens are NOT ARRESTED or Punished AT ALL! WTF? Trump was CAUGHT Employing Illegal Aliens... and then he Promised to STOP... and then Months Later he was CAUGHT AGAIN... WHY NO JAIL TIME FOR TRUMP? 

One of the Meat Packing Businesses was Called KOCH FOOD... It it owned by the Evil KOCH BROTHERS who Bankroll Republicriminals? 

WHO will pack our food? White People Refuse Jobs Like That. Low Pay, Hard Work... NO THANKS! We used to hire BRACEROS - Mexicans who Harvested our Crops in California's Central Valley... where a HUGE AMOUNT OF FOOD IS GROWN... and that system worked great... for decades... But with Trump... Farmers are having difficulty getting people to do the work... That's Why those Meat Packing Plants in Mississippi were Hiring Illegal Aliens. DUH! 

I Wonder if Building THE WALL will actually accomplish anything? Won't they just Use Boats in the Gulf Of Mexico to Go around the Wall? Or Fly Over IT?

Realize that Climate Change has caused Drought for Farmers in Central America and they will Starve to Death in their Home Countries... and Starvation is an Unstoppable Force... Just like the Irish Potato Famine...

Indignado por sus hijos secuestradores de personas que buscan asilo en los Estados Unidos? ¿Sabías que ICE persigue a personas que se ven como extranjeros ilegales? Ellos investigan a cualquier persona que tenga un nombre latino ... ¿Sabías que él ha encerrado a más de 12,000 niños en el campo de concentración de Homestead en Florida ... Eso es abuso criminal infantil ... ¡Juntos podemos detener a este monstruo! 

La mayor parte del Roundup de Envenenamiento Por Monsanto ha ocurrido en las ciudades hispanas. Los trabajadores agrícolas rocían RoundUP en los cultivos y luego contraen cáncer. La EPA de Trump acaba de decidir que el Roundup NO CAUSA CANCER y les permite a los propietarios rociar libremente ... Esta acción es obviamente una prueba de que las ganancias corporativas son más importantes que las vidas de las personas ... Especialmente las vidas de los latinos ...

Are you Enraged by the Racist Attacks by Donald Trump on Hispanic People? Would you Like to Help Defeat Him in the 2020 Presidential Election in the United States?

Did You Know That He has locked up over 12,000 Children in Homestead Concentration Camp in Florida... That's Criminal Child Abuse... Together we can stop this monster! 

Most of the Poisoning By Monsanto RoundUP has happened in Hispanic Towns. Farm Workers Spray RoundUP on Crops and Then Get Cancer. Trump's EPA has just ruled that RoundUP DOES NOT CAUSE CANCER and Enables Owners to Spray Freely... This action is Obviously Proof that Corporate Profits are More Important Than People's Lives...

Trump Administration Transferred $9.8 Million From FEMA To ICE... Instead of PROTECTING AMERICANS he ATTACKED LATINOS...

https://www.npr.org/2018/09/12/647021316/trump-administration-transferred-9-8-million-from-fema-to-ice

This summer, the Trump administration transferred nearly $10 million away from the agency that responds to disasters and emergencies, redirecting it toward one of President Trump's top priorities — the deportation of undocumented residents of the U.S.

The funds transfer is prompting the Federal Emergency Management Agency to cut back on training, IT security and infrastructure investments, according to a document sent to Congress and released by Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore.

Staying at the Fancy Hotel at Crater Lake, Oregon... It's like the hotel in "The Shining" Movie...

After I retired I drove around and explored Oregon, Washington State, Nevada and Utah. At Crater Lake I stayed at an OLD Hotel that had a balcony overlooking the lake. The rooms did not have television because the hotel was a historic landmark refurbished to be like it was before the invention of TV. So I played with my digital camera taking pictures of printed materials distorted by the water in a drinking glass and drank tap water. It was very tasty because they just pump it out of the lake... So, I drank a Lot of that excellent water...

That night I had a very realistic dream where I thought that I was sleeping in my Van and I woke up in the middle of the night to urinate... I got out of my Van and stood by the side of it and took a piss. Then I realized that I was not outdoors in a campground but in a fancy hotel! I was worried that I had done harm to the rug in the hotel room and dreaded getting a huge bill... I was actually worried about this for hours because the dream was so realistic... I went back to sleep. When I awoke I could not find a wet spot on the carpet... I guess that I actually went into the bathroom while dreaming... Lucky Me! Auto-pilot saved the day.

So I went down to the Hotel's Desk and checked out. I walked out the front door and everything was covered with Ice. I could not walk to my car or drive it if I did get to it. So I went back into the Hotel, got some stationary and envelopes from the clerk and wrote letters to my family while sitting by the roaring fire. A lady sat next to me and said that her husband was considering moving from Buffalo, NY to Brookings, Oregon. I recommended that move highly and drew her a map of where the freeways and cities were in Oregon and Northern California. Then I ate a fine breakfast and by then, the ice had melted...  So I drove around looking at the lake, parked and drew drawings in my sketchbook. I had been camping out in the van and had amused myself by drawing and listening to the radio. Great public radio stations in Southern Oregon broadcast from the University... Totally free station without corporate profits deciding what songs to play...

I tried to drive all the way home but felt too sleepy on Highway 101 near Crescent City. I stayed at a campground that looked a lot like the movie Jurassic Park- Lost World. There was a big meadow in the redwood forest.  The next day I drove home.
