Vernal Equinox....2010

It is snowing here on the first day of spring 2010. Are you kidding me? So later, when someone asks when was the latest snow in North Texas? Why it was in March of 2010. It snowed on the first day of Spring that year (you bunch of old codgers).

I heard another global warming commercial about some thing that a guy was selling that would absorb more of the carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere. I only think of this because it is snowing tonight. The empirical evidence of personal experience would suggest that we are not getting warmer.
What's so bad about carbon dioxide? Isn't that the by-product of every breathe we take? Don't all plants need carbon dioxide to live? If there is more carbon dioxide, is that not good for all vegetation on earth? And if there is more vegetation, doesn't the rest of the food chain also thrive?

Moreover, if there is more carbon dioxide, then we can stop talking to our plants to help them grow better. You do realize your plants can't hear you, right? Talking to them merely releases extra carbon dioxide in the direction of the specific plant.

And does anyone see the funny coincidence in the fact that Toyota has been getting all of this bad publicity in the mainstream media after the federal government under B. Hussein Obama took over General Motors and Chrysler? Does no one else see that, really? It's as plain as day to me, but then I simply do not trust the people that have the Whitehouse right now.

I was listening to the radio and the guy asked, "How many of you believe that President Bush was socio-economic liberal?"
I had to raise my hand, but I kept the other one on the wheel. See: "Stimulus Plans"...very liberal indeed.

FM 96.7 has switched formats and become the FM version of WBAP. I listen to WBAP every morning, but I am glad they went FM. There is a stretch of 380 surrounded by power lines that seem to interfere with the AM signal. Now that is a problem no more.

Speaking of FM, how many of you remember that movie from the '70's? Great movie. I went looking for a copy of it on DVD, and it is not to be found. Some guy on Amazon had a used one, but he wanted a pile of money for it, too. Not that motivated. I saw it on TV the other night. Sometimes VH1 shows some good old movies like that.

PMAC has been bringing "West Wing" to work. Remember that show where Martin Sheen played President Bartlett. You have to overlook the liberal politics and shenanigans they pull, but if you can do that, the show is very entertaining, well written and well acted.

I watched "Under Siege 2: Dark Territory" last night. I don't always like Steven Segal in every movie, but the first "Under Siege" with Segal and Tommy Lee Jones was definitely his best. I couldn't imaging "2" being any good at all. It wasn't as good as the first one, but it was good. I was very entertained.

One of my loyal commentors on this blog (and the three of you know who you are) asked me about the novel. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about it. I may be a little frozen on which way to take the concluding chapters, but I can deal with that. The problem is that work has gottes so stressful, and I have so many important things that have to be done around the house, I have not actually had time to work on it, but that is about to change. I have begun dealing with the stress, and I am having some success at putting that behind me. Solutions come around near every turn, now.
