Being able to stop is a major plus!

Ah, the days when TVs still had actual tuning dials. Sometimes it was just a chance!

Monday, Monday. Can't trust that day...

And this is why we are failing. Too much greed and corruption at the top of almost... everything. I agree, start looking for another job even if you aren't in danger.

Heck around here we can't even give them away.

Sweet Tea is so good. Though not that, I did have a nice, hot cup of Earl Grey a little bit ago. Hope not to be up too much tonight, though.

We avoided the ice, but had a solid 12 inches of snow by 4am yesterday morning. Between that and a migraine I woke up with, I didn't make it into work. Still digging out here today and from what I have been hearing, travel in town was horrible about all day yesterday.

I can recall being so excited when I first started to go to Best Buy as they had tons of DVDs, CDs, and were the first ones in my area to start carrying some new vinyl. Now they are going the way of Radio Shack and becoming a glorified phone store for the most part. Still some neat stuff, but the things I am looking for seem to be always out of stock.

I feel for you. I caught a nasty cold bug last Friday at work and that pretty much shot down my plans I had for my week off this past week.

Thanks, everyone.

Seems to be the way with modern architecture. We have made many technical leaps, but they are literally crappy, throw away structures that look like crap.

Sadly, I can't say too much more because it drops into the political realm like so much does now. Basically, there was a decade long fight to try and save the building, but in the end the school board and state refused to listen. Before the final vote that finally passed for the new school, state officials came in and told us point blank that there would be no support for renovating the school and no permission for any repairs. Either we accepted the new school or the old one would be allowed to basically collapse on the kids. Yeah, it got that dirty and barely 25% of the voters turned out for that last vote. Hope this doesn't get me in trouble, but it's the only way to explain things. Oh, the new school is barely a year old and already won an Architecture Award. Don't worry, change is already happening with most that forced the new school on us at local level already replaced.

The oldest portion of the original high school was from 1915. The later center and wing was from the 1930's and part of a WPA project. Sadly, like so many schools around here, they started to purposely allow the building to fall into disrepair about 25 years back with the first push for a new, state funded building. Oddly, even in the state it was, estimates put the cost of renovating and adding on to the old structure at half what the new one cost.

I will say it's a neat novelty, but you're not going to be playing long games on it. It's an awkward position to play for me and forget precise control. Pacman is easier with a 5200 controller for me than this!

Details and context, please.

Heck, I just spent a whopping $5 on a clean DVD copy of Tango & Cash. So far no spikes in stores here.

It is a pain for me as I have some speakers for sale on the Marketplace. Other than flaky Craigslist, it is the only other site I have for online classifieds. Hopefully, the one guy got the number I sent him last night when he asked. It's a crap shoot either way.

I was trying to find some music on the radio and almost all the stations were swamped with the game and post game shows except the country western ones. From Friday through Sunday, Ohio is all football, football, football on the airwaves. The curse of being the state where pro football began.

All I can saw is: Be careful what you wish for.

That explains a few things for sure. Got to the point where I had to be careful on certain sites or it would shut down from getting too hot, yet airflow was fine.

We really didn't want to upgrade from 7 here, but found out Verizon was shutting down our current Jetpack (Only way to get internet for us) and the new one would not work with Mom's computer as it had a slightly older wireless card. Also, the monitor on my HP laptop was getting flaky and for some reason the computer was suddenly like a furnace all the time. You could cook with the air coming out the cooling vents!

It nags, it sucks down my data limit, it loves to update, and that is times two since we got two in the house now.

He messaged me the other night about that, but now HE has a bigger worry. Woke up in pain this morning and he found out he has a blood clot in one of his lungs. Just found out a little bit ago. He is in the ER now.

A friend of mine is waiting the results of his test. He found out his uncle had it right after returning home after it took two weeks for the notice to get to him from our health department. His uncle isn't doing well at all, but my friend arrived a day after the quarantine period and avoided contact. Really, it's his mom that is the worry as that is her brother and she saw him before it was detected.

Now you gotta think like Red Green!
