The soundtrack of my life is an eclectic mix of 60’s, 70’s, and you name it. That, plus all the classical music I love. Well, I admit this song is a guilty (due to the tragic theme) favorite of mine. Do you know it? Of course, I can’t watch the video. I have trouble watching Steven Tyler, but I do love Aerosmith. So, the soundtrack of my life today is “Janie’s Got A Gun”. Good morning and have a lovely!
I worked on my gift knitting last night and realized that I had turned the heel before knitting it. Have you ever done that? This is my second time and it looks stupid and uncomfortable and just ticks me off. Of course, I have to giggle when I look at it. I didn’t even realize what I had done until I picked up the gusset stitches and had the correct amount. D’oh.
I’m about done with the flooding. I sound callous and cold, but most of the people flooded live on a flood plain. Hellloooooo? So, although I feel bad for them, it’s not like the river has never flooded before. The river people (who I admire) live on the river because they love it and each one has stated that this is all part of living the lives they love. More power to ‘em. What would the talking heads do if they had to cover “news”? It must rock their socks to stand in mud and point around them at miles of water. As far as we can tell, it’s the same place every day. It’s river water and there are trees sticking out of it. Of course, let’s not talk about the wildlife issues and the farmer issues or the actual news aspect of natural disasters. Dumb asses.
Now, Esau Marie and Grover are disappointed in the state of journalism in the country, but are desperately trying to hold it all together. I think they’re bearing up well under the strain, don’t you?
Have a good Tuesday!
Know what you mean about the “standing in the mud” that never stops, and I think a lot of it’s just file tape
Our guys just snooze right through it all.
A few years back one of our rivers flooded in the fall (normal occurence). The roving field reporter stood on a road next to a washed out section and warned everyone about the dangers of driving through moving water, yadda, yadda, yadda. To prove his point about how fast the water was moving the a$$ hole picked up an empty water bottle and tossed it in the river and the camera man filmed it being carried away to regions unknown. This particular tv station is always preaching about taking care of the environment and they pride themselves in being “whistle blowers” who tell on local businesses, etc. when they do something wrong. I immediately sat down and fired off a scathing email about them littering and destroying the environment… to which they replied, “One of our crew members waded into the river and retrieved it off camera.” Yeah, right. The bozo would have had to have been two miles down stream and have entered the “dangerously fast” water. My point to this long and boring story is that news reporters are sanctimonious, hypocrital idiots.
The animules are looking beautiful. I just love Esau’s markings. Scritches to them both and hugs to you and Mum.
Stevie is cute…I like watching him. My sound track has turned to alt country since I’m sadly fed up with the local community station.
It might be best be like Esau and Grover in their blessed oblivion. I’m trying.
News in this country is about anything but the actual news. Those people seem to like nothing better than a good cheap “news” story and what’s better than standing water.
Esau Marie and Grover look too smart to watch the news.
