Way Cool!

Years ago my sister and I used to go to several Rodeos a year. We really got into the whole Rodeo scene. We had our cute little western outfits, with girly cowboy hats, boots and even a bandanna once in a while. I run across parts of and pieces of our outfits here and there around the house, in the back of a drawer or in a box downstairs and it always puts a big smile on my face. We even made a cool scrapbook that my sister keeps at her place, from all the pictures that we had taken back then. I’ve got to see if she can take a moment and dig it out next time I go over to see her. It would be fun to see them again with her.

A good friend of mine just went online at work and purchased Tickets to the National Finals Rodeo that is being held in Las Vegas this December. Man what I would give to be able to go with her. Attending the National Finals Rodeo is cool enough, but to attend it in Las Vegas, way cool! Oh well, there is still time to purchase tickets, who knows maybe I’ll win the lottery, or the major football pool at the office by then! The tickets to the Rodeo aren’t the pricey issue, it would be the transportation and lodging that would be a pain. Looks like I need to start picking some lottery numbers, you can’t win if you don’t play.

TV

Over the weekend I went along to the Emergency Room with my sister and her 3 year old son. He had a high fever and was broken out with some type of rash. After speaking with the pediatrician over the phone she was told to take him to the ER. This was on a Saturday night, which turns out to be one of the busiest time to go to the ER, sigh……

It was a very good thing that they had Commercial DIRECT TV in the waiting room. That was the only thing that saved my sister’s sanity and kept me from sneaking outside for a smoke at their “Tobacco Free Campus” that they had numerous signs posted all over reminding us about the fact that smoking wasn’t tolerated anywhere on the property.

This ER has the good sense to have a special section of the waiting room that was playing the Disney Channel for the little ones. I thought that was pretty cool. DIRECT TV for Business is a wonderful idea and we are seeing it more and more in many businesses. The last time that I took my car in for inspection the shop had the DIRECT TV Business package going on there as well. Too bad that the remote was kept behind the counter though, they were so busy that I didn’t want to interrupt any of them to ask for the remote to change the channel. It all worked out though I wasn’t thee that long. I picked a good day that time, for a change.

Anyway, I’m all for having decent TV for clients and customers to enjoy during their waiting times. It beats the dickens out of reading the old out dated, torn up, germ infested magazines that we are used to having at our disposal in most waiting rooms. I’ve gotten in the habit of keeping a book in my car, or at least a reader’s digest in my purse just for those occasions, just in case.

Will It Snow Or Not, That It The Question

On the 25th we were expecting more snow, thank the good lord that we didn’t even see one single snow flake. But now the weatherman is indicating that tomorrow evening we will be slammed with another snow storm. You never know until it happens and I’m not too concerned with it all at this point.
