Blunt Renews Term Limits Stand.

The Citizens for Term Limit Awareness recognized Congressman Roy Blunt’s "invaluable service" to work for a constitutional amendment that limits congressional service. Blunt renewed his "Voters Contract for a Citizen Congress" pledge to restructure Congress.

Citizens for Term Limit Awareness Chairman Rense Johnson endorsed Blunt’s efforts saying, "What this dedicated public servant has done i the fight by American citizens to restore their country is to support the ideals of representative government as envisioned by the framers of the Constitution." In signing the pledge supporting term limits, Johnson added, "This puts Congressman Blunt in the vanguard of patriots who are working to return the dignity and purpose of the United States Congress."

The proposed constitutional amendment would limit service in the House to six years (three terms) and in the Senate to 12 years (two terms.) The Citizens for Term Limits pledge also makes it clear that members of Congress, like Blunt, who pledge to support term limits aren’t limiting their own service unless all members are limited.

With all the talk about the new millennium and the optimistic outlook for the computerized future, there is still some comfort in purely mechanical, functional, familiar gadgets. Things like a pencil.

If a pencil breaks, it’s obvious. If it gets dull you take out the pocket knife (another handy, reliable tool) and sharpen it.

Those of us who grew up tinkerin’ with cars faced the computer age several years ago. The art of filin’ down a set of points, or balancin’ a carburetor was replace by electronic adjustments by computer chips in the early 80’s.

I’m sure at one time many were many uncomfortable with the idea of movin’ the privy inside and trustin’ indoor plumbin’. I figure the outhouse taught a good lesson. Never look back.

This is some fact, but mostly,

The Super Handyman

Q: I have a lot of dark stains on my front sidewalk. They are probably caused by leaves and dirt and no sun on the walkway. I tried a bleach solution, and it removed most of the stains, but some remain. What else can I try?

A: Just a stronger bleach solution might do the job. There is also a great concrete cleaner formula made by mixing a quart of liquid laundry bleach into 3 quarts of warm water. Wear rubber gloves. Add a quarter-cup of powdered detergent and two-thirds of a cup of trisodium phosphate. Mix and apply with a stiff broom and give it a little scrubbing. After about 20 minutes, rinse with a hose and dilute it well so it won’t harm nearby plants.

Dear Kelly: I finally solved my wobbling kitchen-table problem without using the old standby matchbook. The key was finding something that was exactly the right thickness to make it permanently level again. The correct item turned out to be a metal washer. I glued it to the bottom of the short leg, and now it’s fine. I put a piece of masking tape over the washer just to make sure it won’t rust on my floor.

SUPER HINT—Try using warm vinegar to loosen up old wood glue for redoing chair joints. It works fast, is inexpensive and isn’t caustic. It works best on older glues.
