Owl Eyes

Something rather creepy happened today. I came home from work and while I was turning around in my driveway I happened to look up at my shed. Perched on the roof was an owl. Now, I know that this doesn’t seem like anything but that wasn’t the end of the owl.

A few hours later I went out to get the mail and as I was walking out I happened to look up at the utility line. There again, was the owl. I couldn’t believe it! I have no proof that it was the same owl but I thought it was just strange to see a similar looking owl again in the same day; not to mention in just a few short hours.

Now while owls are not uncommon where I live I did think that seeing the same kind within a couple of hours so close to my residence was weird. Perhaps this has to do with my recent viewing of the movie “The Fourth Kind.” This would certainly help explain my ‘creep-ed out’ thoughts.

The Olympics

While I have not watched every minute of the Olympics this year I have wound up watching some of the winter games. I think that curling may be the most interesting sport on the TV at the winter games. I like the fact that almost everyone can do this sport and have fun, it reminds me of shuffleboard and pool with the angles used. I think it would be a lot of fun to try curling. I am not sure if a curling lane could be found in Tennessee but I plan on looking.

Clint Eastwood

Watched the new Clint Eastwood movie last night and I loved it. I have been a huge Clint Eastwood fan ever since I was a little girl, in the 8th grade most of my class went to see High Plains Drifter and I was hooked on him. The last movie Gran Torino was very good but I was shocked at the ending, it did not end the way I though it would and the twist at the end was very good, I will spoil it here but watch it and you will see what I am talking about.

Shocking

As I was watching my grandson David this weekend we decided to sit down and watch some TV, kind of take a break from the non stop world of a six year old. I was absolutely shocked at what they are calling kids cartoons now. I had no idea there was so much suggestive stuff plus all the very graphic violence. The cartoons that we watched when I was his age, even when my own kids were that age are nothing like the total crap they are watching now days. I am not a prude but I was very offended by it, and it needs to be stopped before more kids are ruined by TV.

Summer reruns

The one part about the summer that I do not like is the summer reruns on the TV shows I watch. I may of missed a few during the season but most of them I watched the first time around. I watch a few more movies and get a little more work done in the summer time. I have planted a small garden that has about been rained out. Lets hope this summer gets over fast and we get to the start of the new TV season soon.

Debate

After watching the debate last night I am nos so sure that John McCain has changed anyones mind enough to make up the ground he is trailing in all of the polls. I think he made some good points but at some point I can not get past the fact that he looks like an old banty rooster and I do not think I can pull myself to voting for a banty rooster in any election. Let us hope that we choose the best man for President and not make a horrible mistake, that could plunge the country into a deeper depression.
