Holy smokers!

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, a leading conservative voice on the high court, has died at the age of 79, a government source and a family friend told CNN on Saturday.
Scalia died in his sleep during a visit to Texas.
    A government official said Scalia went to bed Friday night and told friends he wasn't feeling well. Saturday morning, he didn't get up for breakfast. And the group he was with for a hunting trip left without him.
    Someone at the ranch went in to check on him and found him unresponsive.
    This is a HUGE impact at a pivotal time in history.
    Less than six hours after the announcement of his death, politicians are ALREADY fighting over his replacement !!!!!! This is going to be another social bomb.
    Up to the moment of Scalia's death, I had been thinking about those Carrier workers in Indiana who were told their jobs were being sent to Mexico.
     RawStory 021316 by Tom Boggioni: "In a video uploaded to YouTube, a gathering of workers at an Indianapolis air conditioning manufacturing plant are stunned and enraged when told they’ll soon be out of work because the company is moving their jobs to Mexico. The large crowd of employees of a Carrier Air Conditioner manufacturing plant in Indianapolis can be seen milling around as a speaker — dressed in a suit and standing on a stage — addresses them and gives them the bad news.
    “The best way to stay competitive and protect the business for long-term is to move production from our facility in Indianapolis to Monterrey, Mexico,” the man can be heard explaining.
    The crowd reacts with shouts of outrage, including one man who can be heard yelling, “F*ck you.” 
    I was happy to see some of the area conditioner installers already boycotting Carrier products. 
    Arduino Update
    This is what my latest Arduino project looks like:

    Lots  of components, wire everywhere. What does it do? No idea. Can't get it to work. stripping it down and starting over.
