We have been hitting new record highs this past week, with the temperatures hitting the high 90’s. We have been pretty lucky this summer, but I think that our luck has run out at this point. I’m staying inside in the air conditioning as much as possible and waiting for milder weather to once again return. We won’t even go into the allergies that are kicking in!
Sad News Just Keeps Coming
First we hear about Ed McMahon, not too shocking since he was getting up there in age and hasn’t been in the best of health lately. Then we hear about Farrah Fawcett fight with cancer that finally ended with her passing, hopefully in peace. When it was announced about Michael Jackson’s sudden demise and Farrah’s story was put on the back burner. And now Billy Mays has left this world due to a heart attack. These are all sad stories to hear and read about and I hope that we won’t be experiencing any more until we are able to digest all that has happened in the last few weeks.
It’s Just A Bunch of Bull
Every year we hear all of the horrible terrifying news from the annual Running of the Bulls, and it seems to be that time of the year once again. I have never really understood why this annual event even takes place considering the fatalities and injuries that occur each and every year! And for this to take place in the middle of July when the heat is at it’s worst, beats me. I wonder how many people are going to get hurt this year.
8th and Finale Season on Scrubs
I have always loved the show Scrubs. I’m saddened to find out that this is the last session that it will be produced and aired. I remember the first time I watched Scrubs, it was a bit hard to swallow, but I soon realized that it was a really funny show and I will miss it dearly. Thank goodness for re runs!
So many leaves, so little time
Having a large is nice and all and comes in handy in so many ways, unfortunately during this time of the year it is very overwhelming with all of the falling leaves that land in the yard and drive way. I have spent several hours each week-end for the last few weeks, outside raking and bagging and it makes me think that in just another month or so I’ll be out doing the same thing, only with snow instead of leaves, bummer!
One good thing is that it gets me outside and is good exercise, other than that it is a real drag!
The coolest Dancing Around the World Video
I ran across a blog that I really enjoyed reading and actually took the time to make a comment one, which is a rarity for me, I generally don’t stop to take the time to register and get passwords and all that in order to leave a comment on most blogs that I read, but this time I just had to.
The site is http://www.bladam.com/ and he has a video that you just have to see if you haven’t already about “Where The Hell Is Matt”. I’m embarrassed to say that I tried and failed several times to place the link to video here on my site, and finally gave up and have just provided the link to the web-site of somebody much more sophisticated with all of this technology that I am just now beginning and struggling, at times, to learn.
So if you would like to see an awesome video that will most assuredly put a smile on your face, go ahead and check it out. In the mean time I am still going to attempt to link the video directly onto here, who knows what will happen.
Gas is over $4 a gallon
I can’t believe that we have actually come to where today I saw for the first time, the gas station down the street at the local corner store has now placed a number 4 after the $ sign for a gallon of gas. This has got to stop, it is affecting so many folks in this town and is consistently a very hot topic of conversation at the pub every evening.
I’m thinking about breaking out my bicycle that I haven’t ridden since God knows when, but they say it is easy to get back on a bike and take off. It certainly would be a healthy choice along side with the economical side of it. The only problem with riding a bike is that we have a very strict helmet law in this town for people who ride bicycles and I’m not crazy about wearing a helmet one bit. I mean after you take the darn thing off you have to deal with helmet head hair, ugh!
Monk
I don’t watch a whole lot of television these days. I mainly work the night shift and daytime TV sucks, even with getting all of these other channels that you get when you sign up with DirecTV. But there are some that I really enjoy and on the top of my list is Monk.
For some reason I have become fascinated with this poor man, a private investigator, who’s life is made so challenging due to the abundance of OCD issues. I have even read several of the books that have been published with stories of Mr. Monk and am looking forward to reading more when they come out, which should be soon.
