A good quality warm raincoat is what I’m currently looking for now that I have spent the last few months out in the wet and cold every morning, afternoon and night doing what needs to be done around the farm and all of the out buildings. The Internet is making this necessary search so much easier, I really like not having to drive town to town, for hours on end, looking for the best possible deal and fit, just sitting by the fire, keeping warm and dry, with my laptop, looking online is definitely the way to go for me.
Burned Right to The Ground
My buddy Gary, who lives in North Carolina, and has been a vendor at their local flea market, called me last night with very disturbing news. The flea market burned to the ground yesterday and every dealer lost everything. He isn’t sure what the insurance situation is, he is assuming that the owner has insurance on the building, but isn’t clear on if the vendors are covered.
This was a huge indoor and outdoor flea market that had hundreds of dealers renting space, with tons of merchandise that is now totally destroyed. Sad news for everyone involved indeed. The only good news is that no one was hurt.
Fix and Repair
Doesn’t anyone, anywhere, have some good news to share? I have to wonder this since every single person that I speak with has such sad and depressing stories to tell. The need for money has driven people into such desperate times and so many people are finding themselves in need of some type of credit repair due to the economy crisis. The trickle down effect has been devastating and lives are being destroyed left and right with credit becoming a “hot topic” indeed.
If something doesn’t break soon, and it certainly doesn’t sound good at this point, people are really going to be upset and even more depressed and stressed out and we will really be in a pickle. one that will leave a bad taste in every one’s mouth. I know of so many folks who are looking for ways to repair credit issues and have gone online to find relief. There are opportunities out there to fix credit, which is such an important aspect of today’s needs and lifestyles and ways to consolidate debts as well on the Internet.
I’d love to hear a good story, if one would care to share it here, it would be graciously received.
60 minutes
The other night I was watching the television show 60 minutes, which is one of my favorite news magazine show. I was especially interested in the story about how a mixture of peanut butter, powdered milk, sugar and vitamins was created and named Plumpynut was created and is being used with great success to feed malnourished children in third world countries.
This was definitely a “feel good” story about how progress is being made to help the needy. I’m glad I stayed up to watch it. I hope that the use of Plumpynut spreads to other third world countries to help feed their starving children too.
The Local Diner Sounds Mighty Fine
I have decided that on Sunday evening I will go into town and have dinner at the local diner for a nice change. I have grown weary of cooking for myself each night. Most nights I only have the strength for a quick sandwich and a glass of milk. I’m way over due.
It’s nice to know that they participate with the Farm to Table practice that is getting larger and larger across the whole nation. Being a local farmer, it’s to my best interest to spend my money there.
Safety, Common Sense is Involved
I have several friends that ride their Harleys and they all come from different kinds of backgrounds and a few have careers that you wouldn’t imagine them to have, while sporting the tattoos and all that black leather that is essential for any rider. Several times a year, I will hear the sound of Harleys coming down our road and then continue on coming up all the way into the driveway. I end up having quite a good old time with some very interesting folks who have come by for a entertaining visit.
We have heard so many stories of fallen brothers that have been killed or severally injured while riding their bikes, and all of my “Biker” friends seem very adamant about safety issues that are mostly just common sense if you ask me. There are many places no that anyone can go to and purchase all types of motorcycle safety clothing and helmets at great discount offerings along with all types of accessories that play an important part of motorcycle riding.
Duct Tape It
Favorite News Program
In my opinion there is no news program better than the Today Show on NBC. The reason that the Today Show is my favorite news program is because it is one of the first news programs that I can remember ever watching. Jane Pauly and Bryant Gumbel have now given way to Matt Lauer and his cohorts. Another figure that I can remember very well from those old days was Gene Shalit and his movie reviews. As a matter of fact, Gene still makes an appearence on the current show every now and then.
Then there is none other than Willard Scott and his recognizing of people who have reached their 100th birthday. Still, the Today Show in my opinion delivers the morning news like none other and is the best among the major networks. There is nothing better than turning on my TV and watching the Today Show each and every morning. I found some really great satellite TV deals, so it’s nice to really use them! It has been a tradition that has gone on in my households for many years and will be for many years to come, regardless who the host of the show is.
Perfect Match Required
The larrivee guitar that I ordered should be arriving any day now. I swear I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning to hurry up and arrive. I haven’t purchased anything like this for myself in a very long time and it is exciting. I have Uncle Sam to thank for this much anticipated purchase.
While waiting for the delivery I have been looking at a sweet looking THD amp and have made arrangements to order it as soon as I have my new guitar in hand and can make sure that it is a perfect match.
Thank God For Pam
I really don’t know what I’d do with out my Pam cooking spray. I used it every single time I start to cook something and I can’t imaging cooking without it. I love that it comes in so many varieties.
