Hey, how's it going?

Hey, how's it going?

Just a couple of random bits, this snow-flurried Thursday afternoon....

Gooseneck's back!. He took some private time off. But now he's back. And the world is a better place for it. Craziness in Iowa, ya'll.

Kung Fu Monkey's come to be one of my favorite daily reads. James' posts are funny, and well-thought out, a combination that makes his blog pretty much the diametric opposite of everything I've got here.

Here's a fine detailing of his view of the Amero-Canadian political culture....

And on a personal note....we got a satellite dish hooked up today. I live about four miles past the sticks, which is itself six miles beyond the boondocks. I live across the street from the middle of nowhere, up on a hill in the woods.

And the bitch has been that I was stuck so deep in the woods, the growth was so thick above and around the house and yard that we couldn't get a reliable line of sight for the the dish. So it wasn't worth the investment. Believe it or not, I like trees more than I like TV. At the very least, they're tied.

But over the course of the winter, we've cut a few trees down. Not for TV, necessarily. Mostly because they were posing a danger to the various structures around the BSTommy Compound, should they decide to give up the goat and fall down.

Actually, we had the biggest of them cut by somebody else. There was something about having your house smashed by a tree because you gave Tommy a chainsaw not constituting an Act of God.

Stupid Insurance companies.

But anyway, we're all dished up. I have a buttload of channels, again. I can quit bitching when the used car salesman ostensibly in charge of Baseball in conjunction with the Fox Television network decide to do something stupid and not show baseball to a national audience. I got teevee for the baseball now.

(I can, however, bitch about WGN not showing enough Cubs games. I haven't read up on the sports packages yet, to see if alternate channels for Cubs broadcasts show up on the extended sports package, or if I should plunk money into MLB's Extra Inning's package or not....)

Yep. I got the dish for baseball.

And also for the Spanish Language Channel Soap Operas.
