White Noise

When the weather got hot overnight, the house central air conditioning couldn’t cool the whole house right away. A sudden drastic change in temperature is always a strain on the house’s electrical systems and equipment.

So, for a couple of days while the A/C worked to get the house cooled, I used a small room fan to cool the bedroom at night. It is amazing how the fan can put you right to sleep. They call it white noise, and I can’t remember falling asleep so quickly and soundly in a very long time.

Great Sign

slow down

I wish every speed trap had a sign like this. I wonder if the cop ever catches on? This is much more effective than the old “flash your headlights to warn oncoming traffic” trick.

Monk, the Series

For some reason there is a long running TV show that I have never seen, called, “Monk.” I guess it ran exclusively on a channel that I normally don’t watch. Or it might be a cable channel show. But a friend of mine was talking about this show – it’s over and no new episodes are being made – and that he was going to buy the entire series on DVD.

It sounds like a cop/detective show with some comedy thrown in. The main character, Monk, suffers from extreme OCD, but turns that to everyone’s advantage when he inspects crime scenes and he helps solve a crime in each episode. That’s got my interest – I’d like to watch one or two shows and see what I’ve been missing.
