TGIF

Wow, what a rough night. The school across the street from my house installed 6 mercury vapor lights in their parking lot. The problem is they were facing the homes across the street and lighting up the neighborhood. You could see the tops of pine trees it was so bright. So, I was awake until 3:00 a.m., got up at 6:30 worn out. I called the school and explained and was treated like dirt so I called the school board. I was rude and angry by now after being transferred 6 times to the wrong person. The security department didn't even know they had been installed. Finally got to the right person and they were already on the site trying to adjust the lights. I could see everything in my bedroom with the blinds closed. I spoke to one of the security guys the 2nd night they were installed but nothing was done. I'm sure they'll get it adjusted but it sure takes a lot to get anyone in government to do anything. Well, I just needed to vent a little and now I feel better. Whew...I hope my employer won't mind it I take a nap.

One Last Thing

One important thing I forgot to mention. Around the 10th of July there will be another grandchild. It's a boy...and I think his name will be Parker. Peyton, my oldest grandson, he's 7, thinks he's being named after Peter Parker....aka Spiderman. So, one more little future Tee-Ball player. Okay, now it's

 

THE END

Part II

I listened to Adam Curry's podcast and it was over one hour long. Lot's of good information today about the future of podcasting. Nothing different than I expected but just some thoughts about how things could work out for all podcasters once the elements are in place. More on this later perhaps. I suggest, if interested, that you go to www.dailysourcecode.com and subscribe to his podcast or just listen to the streaming audio. Click on the mp3 logo to listen.
Okay, it was a nice day, but the lawn didn't get cut. I just hate to cut a living plant. It's like giving the earth a flat-top haircut. The truth is that I was just being lazy and had other things to do. For example, I called the cable company and complained about not having internet access this weekend and now it's up and down today. It's working now but I made an appointment anyway for next week. They don't tell me when it's not working so I might just let them come out anyway. Of course, I won't be here, and it will be a wasted trip but I'll have my revenge for the weekend without it...he..he..he! But, if it stops working, I'll make arrangements...( for my sake ).

I cut the tip of my finger on a cheese grader tonight. Makes typing a little difficult but I will survive thanks to my teeny weeny band-aid.
I need my rest after staying up late last night so I'm off to shower and then to bed. I have to work tomorrow, then have plans for tomorrow night so it will probably be a pretty long Friday. Saturday I'm off to the Tee-Ball games to see my grandkids, Peyton and Caitlyn play. They are so funny to watch. They are both the best players on their teams ( the truth ) and get frustrated at the first timers. Most of the little girls on the team just watch the ball go past them and the guys play in the dirt or just lay down in it. It's a blast.

Well, I'm going to have to read some of the other blogs so I can figure out how this is suppose to work. I can't continue boring you with my rants. But, if I weren't bored I wouldn't be doing this and you wouldn't be reading it. I guess we can be partners in bordom. ( I hope the spell checker is working )

Have a good weekend, because I don't think I'll be back until Monday. If you find you can't get by without my posts.....you need to see a doctor, so just go to the emergency room and they'll calm you down, give you a goofy shot and send you home.

The End

Sunny Day

9:30 a.m.
I've been up for about 20 minutes and I'm about to listen to the Daily Source Code with Adam Curry. Off again today because work is slow but back again tomorrow. So, today I'll mow the grass jungle and then kick back for a while. I stayed up too late last night but if I had gone to bed there would be no blog for me. I would have missed finding this site. Well at least for a few days. I kind of fell into this by accident. The sun is shining and it's in the 60's outside. So nice and the perfect day for working outside. I'll finish listening to Adam Curry, grab a bite to eat and then it's time to mow. I hate mowing but now there are weeds coming up that are taller then the grass. Maybe I'll be back later today for blog part II.

My first blog

It's 1:40 a.m. and I'm off from work tomorrow so I stayed up late. Earlier tonight I recorded my podcast, ZIP 71101. It's about music and talk. I enjoy all kinds of music but because I'm live in a music city, I'm interested in the local music makers and the music history of Shreveport, LA.

The Louisiana Hayride produced lots of the early country music stars and is also famous for launching the career of Elvis Presley. A few others were, Johnny Horton, Johnny Cash, Kitty Wells, and Slim Whitman. Currently I'm featuring Christian singer, songwriter Darrell Evans and a local band called The Critics. If you'd like to listen to my podcast visit my website and click on the current mp3 link or copy the xml file into your aggregator. I hope you enjoy what you hear. Here's the link http://www.zip71101.com .

That's enough for now. My eyes are closing and I just might fall asleep on you...
