From what I have heard, most people go out Somewhere on Friday night to have a good time at the end of the week. Well, I went to bed on this Friday night just as soon as it got dark, and I slept several hours and missed Linus and the Great Punkin, and I did not wake up till the local news was about over, and at the end of the bcast the sports honcho mentioned that the Cardinals had won the Series. No great excitement and no scenes of happy people, just a mention. Maybe that shows how much baseball has dropped down from being the national game--no one is really excited. Apperently the Cards did not do their routine of falling apart sometime in the Series, like they have done before, and they got their act together this year and held together.
W was in town yesterday in the middle of the rain and gave a speech for a local congressional candidate, and the tickets to get in to see him for a hundred bucks. We were so busy at work that the arrival in town of the Prez was not something we had the time to stop and be breathless about.
And I went to bed early last night and missed Earl, and did not get a chance to dig into the news of the day, except for some news about the fires in California and the loss of several firefighters. Once in a while we need to get reminded that not everyone in the US works in a cubicle, looking at a screen. I would like to have a dream job of getting paid to spend all day looking at websites, but no one has invented that job for me where I toil. I spend a lot of time standing up working over a tabletop. Maybe it is good for my legs to stand up all day.
I do have a cold from being out in the rain yesterday, and I am up now on early Saturday morning, and checking for some news, and there is an issue going on about Jim Webb's porno novel, and the flap over whether Michael Fox turned his Parkinson's symptoms (I almost typed "his jerks") into a show for Couric, and whether Rush is being a jerk about whether Fox went off his medication to make a show, is taking up a lot of time in the media. Get this awful campaign season over with. And another issue is whether it was racist in a campaign ad to have a white bimbo talk about Harold Ford going to a Playboy party.
After all this recording of a smidgen of the current events I am going to sign off for now. I have a hectic weekend to get through, and there are several million websites I have not looked at yet, and I might just take another nap. So, all of you fans and devotees of my blog sit tight and I will be back next time. Stay dry and cool. Di di mau!
