The Weather...

Well folks, we had our first snow showers today. We did not get any accumulation, but we did get some snow. I tried to get a few pics, but it did not work, so not snow pics. I hope that we get some more this year. ZIT is going to be cold tonight with the low around 25 degrees!!

 

All, have a good night…

My Map Stats...


















A new map will be displayed after December 14, 2007. The above map depicts: 8,736 visits from 14 Dec 2006 to 25 Nov 2007.

It was not a bad year for the blog. My ranking got up to 10 on one counter and fell back to 7 where it has leveled off with a steady amount of viewers and patrons to my site. I appreciate all of your patronage and hope to make it a better year in 2008.

Tired of The Osmunds...

We of the late 60’s and early 70s had to deal with all sorts of injustices and trends. Take Disco as a major one, Sonny & Cher, Shields and Yarnell, and The Osmonds! The all had variety shows that were on prime time TV and all had a lack of taste. Yes the 70’s were a hard time to deal with on TV. Now in the 2000s we have to deal with basically the same crap! Reality TV has inundated us in our homes with people dancing and trying to lose weight, get sober, and survive long days on desert islands on far off seas. With the Hollywood Writers on strike, this is all that we have to see. If it was not for pre-recorded shows we would have nothing to watch. Is this the year that the fossils come back to life? Marie Osmond has been in relative obscurity for the last 20 years and now she can dance? WOW!!! WHAT A REVLATION! THEY did that crap on their TV show way back in the 1970s! That is what they did! The danced, they sang, they did “funny” sketches bla, bla, bla…

Ok, she fainted on the show during that week. Ok. Let’s move on people. Her brother Donnie made commentary on ET Tonight and all sorts of other shows as well as having to suffer with her talking about it and all of the other reporters. It was MAJOR NEWS for a week!! It’s not like we have a war going on or the housing market is going to shit; No Marie Osmond FAINTED on TV putting a blemish on her silver TV personality. Cant they just go AWAY? I remember fondly as the dramatic TV announcers voice would say “Now the Clip of Marie fainting on “Dancing With The Stars” What was Wayne Newton’s reaction? IS she Ok? What will the judges think? Will this hurt her chances of winning the show? De De Do, Wubba Wubba Wubba… As if nothing else was news worthy. And now, with the resurgence of the Osmonds, much like a phoenix coming out of the ashes of TV obscurity; they are back on tour for Christmas. Marie and her brood of kids from adoption and divorce are touring and doing songs and another dammed variety show as we saw clips of their concert tonight on ET once again. I wonder if ET gets a kick-back for putting their asses on every episode of their show?

Now as if we were back in the 1970s, we hear all the sorted details that have not surfaced for the past 30 years about the Osmonduh’s life; Her divorce, Donnie was going to fake a drug conviction to change his image; Marie’s child in Rehab, ect, ect.

Cant it all just go away? For god’s sake, Wayne Newton was a star with Marie on Dancing With The Stars. Where did he crawl out from? What will next year be, “Dancing With The Dead, Arrested or Insane”? Sounds like a winner to me and as about as exciting as most of the rest of the crap that we are force fed every evening…

Now, back to my regularly scheduled coma…

Strange Clouds...


Strange Clouds..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I took this standing on my front porch last week. I thought that the clouds were very interesting looking. You see that the sun is almost down.
