Random Observations...
The broadcasting world lost a legend yesterday when Curt Gowdy passed away. He traveled all over the earth to fish and hunt with movie stars and sports icons, and got paid to do it. It might be the best job of all time. Here's to you, American Sportsman!
I heard an interview with a former Christian pastor that underwent "gender reassignment" surgery and is now a "woman". He has been married to the same woman for 35 years and has three grown children. He says that the whole family supports him/her, and that he still has a love for the Bible and serves the Lord. Huh? How can you believe in an all-powerful, all-knowing God, and then tell Him that He made you wrong, that you should have been a girl and not a boy? It makes no sense to me whatsoever.
Why are Muslims so freaked out about a cartoon? Perhaps if Muslim leaders denounced the terrorist acts that are causing the stereotypes depicted in the cartoons, less people would feel compelled to mock them for it. If there were newspapers during the Crusades and Spanish Inquisition, I am sure that someone would have drawn Jesus wielding a sword or whip too.
The US and Canadian men's hockey teams are tremendously disappointing to watch. If they both make it into the medal round, I don't think that either can hope for more than a bronze. Perhaps they will bring some younger players to the games in 2010 and leave the dinosaurs at home.
In the Boston area, it is legal to drive in the breakdown lanes on the interstate during rush hour. This has got to be the most insane thing that I have ever seen in my life. Especially when someone tries to get onto an off ramp from the right lane. Just imagine the chaos.
My company gave me a new truck that is not a 4X4. My old one was a 4X4, but they said that they can not justify a 4X4 for me because most of my area is not on dirt roads. Apparently they forgot about the snowfall in New England, damn Okies!
CL&P (power company) has asked the state of Connecticut to allow them to raise their rates because too many people are buying energy efficient appliances and winterizing their homes, the result of which has lowered the demand for electricity in the state. Now I'm no economist, but I thought that lower demand with a constant supply meant lower prices, not higher.
Well, that is all for now. Hopefully something exciting will happen and I will actually have something to write about tomorrow.
I bet I can guess which telecom
company you work for.
Bill - Un-fucking-believeable that this shit is allowed to happen.
Sydney is full of 4x4s. And we get no snow or dirt tracks!
Edee - Thanks for stopping by! Whenver I am forced to go into Boston, I leave my house in CT at 5:15am and get into our site by 6:30, before traffic gets too crazy. Then I leave at 3:oopm so I miss it on that end too.
Bill - Telcom sucks, especially the fiber optic side of it. Part of me wants a lay off just to get into something else.
Did you say the thing you miss about Dallas is the sports radio thing? Well I just found out that our copier saleperson models on the side. She does ads all over sports weekly. It is kind of like the observer but about sports. She just brought me in her babe of the year posters in swim suits. I had her to sign them for my other half to take home to him. Anyway, I know you are all about sports, so their website is: www.sportspagedallas.com
Spy - No, but I'll thumbwrestle ya!
Sonya - Which one is she? There are so many hotties on that site.
