I think the title says it all. I’ve discovered I AM NOT THE PROBLEM. My DSL goes off periodically requiring a complete re-start, just about every hour on the hour. It’s not my Ethernet cable. It isn’t my NEW Airport-Extreme. It’s NOT ME. The problem is with Windstream Telecom. I don’t know if it was part of that chain reaction that took down quite a bit of the East Coast yesterday or not. I do know how to locate the local supervisors for Windstream on Monday. If you don’t’ see a posting, just consider me under arrest. ... more»
Evidently the trauma is over. Everyone, and I do mean everyone is exhausted. The four-legged members of this establishment are all sleeping. I’m still working. I have an interesting video clip for tomorrow morning on Lindsey and the SC VP choices.
It has been a long, windy day. I did Altar Guild this evening. I’m glad I did. Fr. Penn had a wonderful homely about Christ appearing to the Disciples a few days after His Resurrection. I think I may have learned something about faith this evening – we don’t have much, that’s for sure.
I have no idea what is going on with Mommy Cat. Every time Rumsfeld goes near Beverly Sills, Mommy Cat attacks him, viciously. The poor little thing is whipped. We also don’t know what is going on with the baby situation. She has slimmed down considerably since this morning. About 9PM she came up for water and to nibble. That would indicate she has finished having what ever it is she had. She, Little Joe Cartwright and Miss Beverly Sills keep running up and down the steps like that baby scene in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers... more»
Let’s put it this way – here in Ruidoso we are just as likely to have a White Easter than a White Christmas. It spat snow all morning but nothing happened.
I must tell a story on my friend Alicia’s 8 year old daughter, Sydney. (She’s having her tonsils out on Wed). Sydney is learning how to sew and seems to be adapting well to it. She “made” her Easter Dress (one of these cute sun-dress fabrics were all you do is sew it up and then add the little straps. After successfully navigating the Easter Dress, ... more»
We now know why those dang blasted birds sing in the summer. I have a bird phobia. This evening when I was going in the side door of church the dang blasted bird who nests there every year tried to attack me. I swear she did. I started screaming. I went into the sacristy and apologized to Fr. Peter, our Interim. He confessed the same phobia. I started back into the church and the bird attempted to attack me again. When super-volcanoes erupt. Another wish you were here to Arthur C. Clark! Clark’s ... more»
Would you believe it is still early in the evening and I’m nearly finished for the day? Well, I’m quitting for the day. Deal with it. The official poster is now out. Check out the skull. I sure looks a heck of a lot like another Lucusfilm arch-villain. Now I don’t know about you, but maybe that galaxy far far away wasn’t that far after-all. (just in fun – don’t take it serious)
Once again the family kept me awake until early hours of the morning – try 4AM! This time I finally managed to separate Rumsfeld and Miss Beverly Sills. I put one on one side and one on the other, and held onto both of them. After awhile they quieted down and went to sleep – or else I did. Oh, Mommy Cat is VERY pregnant.
Somewhere in a storage unit in the bowels of Lincoln County is a box with a stack of old magazines I kept. Several of them were published while Clark’s Magnum Opus, 2001 A Space Odyssey, was in post-production. I will never forget Clark’s predictions and visions of the future. Among them was the fact that in 2001 women would still be wearing mini-skirts and boots. If NASA had not encountered Democratic budget cutters who believed in entitlements, handouts, and welfare instead of the future, we may have been on Clark’s schedule for 2001. As ... more»
MY BROTHER FLOYD LTC Floyd Harris isn’t a “real” brother, but he is the closest thing to a brother I will ever have. He's the only brother I will ever have. He heads to Iraq tomorrow. Both of his sons have been there and done that, but that’s different. I met Floyd my 2nd semester at Clemson University. We were both in the same astronomy 101 class ... more»
MONDAY, MARCH 10 The day started well, then went downhill. Once again the battery on that blasted Cadillac was dead. We had to be in Las Cruces before 4PM for my mother’s PK test. It is a good 4.5 hour drive from Tombstone. I made it with 30 minutes to spare. Rachel from the kennel brought Rumsfeld home for me. Maggie and Raymond picked up Miss Beverly Sills from the vet, where she was facing eminent eviction for behavior unbecoming to a kitten of her age and status. Evidently she was tussling and fighting with anything that moved. Over the ... more»
It never fails. Every Spring I visit Tombstone the weather is beautiful before I arrive and perfect after I leave. While I am there, though, it is absolutely miserable. It has been windy and chilly all week. I now it isn’t exactly snow and ice, but Tombstone is like South Florida. The temp hits 50 and it is just plain cold! It has been too chilly and windy for me to even walk through town. The minute that cold wind hits my ears, I lose it, literally – and end up so dizzy it just isn’t worth ... more»
I wish I believed in live blogging. If so I would be irate. I am the most loyal Republican in the world, BUT when John Glenn, American Hero, comes on, these stupid blank blank (deleted due to Lent) morons in the media need to shut up and snap to attention. That’s Glenn! Have they already forgotten who he is? He is John Glenn Hero Astronaut. You stop everything you are doing and treat him the way you would have treated Ted Williams. There aren’t many people in that league, but John Glenn and Ted Williams are there ... more»
