    Thanks DD for a vote of confidence...

    For the L&T morning show. Thanks, but no thanks. I know you're doing a fantastic PR job for Clearchannel and its choices, but we will have to agree to disagree.

    While the BS may not have been the best morning show that was out there, as exhibited by "ratings, performance" etc, but its replacement is an insult to my intelligence. Mayhaps this show thrives in come podunk markets that enjoy these juvenile antics, but I will not give this assjackery the time of day, much less a month. My time, as precious as it is, is excruciatingly valuable - and I gave them a genuine try. I listened to the past two complete shows and did my best not to vomit. I settled for sitting in mute shock and revulsion.

    The "intellectually immature nonsense" of the BS show was at the very least locally relevant, and much props to Ethan for giving his Quick Takes between L&Ts assishness for that. I think its naive for a corporation to believe that a listener base will have any attachment to a pair of Texassholes that crank calls non-profit organizations - something that only the dregs of society might think is funny.

    Perhaps L&T are a band-aid fix until a better morning show can be comprised of familiar voices that people know, faces they've seen and has helped their existing community - until then, 98 Rock has lost one more morning listener - not that Clear Channel will  notice or care about.  Thanks again, DD for taking a personal moment to try and reassure your listeners, as well as Rig for reiterating his vote of confidence. I'll turn the station on at 10, when Rig comes on.

    Does size really matter?

    This is only the first part - the full 4 minute short is available on Netflix Instant. It gave me a good giggle.

    Ye Olde fixer-upper

    Built in 1946, it is a strange and organic little beast with 6 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms - I have dubbed it Frankencasa. It has roofs on top of roofs and additions bodged and glued and contraptionized. Someone handy and with a good deal of knowledge in "ethnic engineering" lived here last. However, it has been empty for nearly a year until I've come upon it with a rake, shears, and a vengeance.

     

    OK, so those that know me know that my mother passed away last year - will be one year come July 11th. I moved into my dad's house when he said he couldn't live there anymore - he saw her everywhere. Well, he's feeling a lot better now and didn't want to toss over ownership, which left me house hunting.



    After more than enough false starts, we finally find a place that we're thoroughly in love with and - it has no door knobs, plug covers, an unfinished ceiling etc. VA wont give us the loan unless those little things are done - the Seller (a bank owned foreclosure) would do nothing. So my fella and I bust ass to get a motley list of 14 odds and ends over three days to make the deadline - before we own the house. Long story short, closing is set for May 30th.

     

    I built the 4' diameter firepit yesterday so I could burn a years worth of leaves today.

     

    I stink not so pretty.
