Waking up and looking out the window and seeing bird shit on the car.
Feed the birds so they can reward you with birdshit on your car after
you wash it and trying to build birdnests around the damn foundation of
the house.
The robins are here but a sure sign of spring is the
return of the fucking redwing bastard birds that like to attack you from
every points known.
Daylight Savings Time is here this weekend.
You can thank W for giving us three more weeks of daylight and one less
hour of sleep. But then again I think I enjoy the sunset later myself.
Flood watches out. Which means stalled stationary fronts that have forever rains and flood the basement.
Gas
prices going up although I have seen that diesel prices at the Casey's
next to work is at 1.95 a gallon. Any trip to Madison I'm sure regular
gas will be over two bucks a gallon by then.
High schoolers getting ready to go to the prom, which isn't till the end of April.
I never had to deal with that, hell I never knew where my high school prom was at when I was senior anyway.
Basketball tournaments are here. Springville girls lost 28-27 to St. ANGSWR. That seems like a football score.
The City of Marion putting to vote yet another 1 cent option tax. Didn't they vote No this week?
While
the Viola post office is no more, Springville has opened up a new
Casey's to replace the one on the Business 151 route. Looks like
another empty building to contend with. And the new Casey's is just
right off the bloody turnoff. Wonder how many more major accidents are
going to happen on Springville Road/151.
On a good sign, baseball
should be starting up next month. Spring training is okay but ESPN
would rather have Mike n Mike reruns instead.

ESPN
and ESPN2 follow and I do watch them more than say, the last four
channels but I docked them four notches simply of John Anderson, Brad
Van Pelt, Chris Berman and World Series Of Poker. Berman is a icon but
he is responsible somewhat for the new crop of bad comedians turn hosts
of Sportscenter. I'd rather watch paint dry than see the excitement of
Poker. Comedy Central thrives on the thoughts of Jon Stewart and
Stephen Colbert who makes more sense defending Rush Dimbulb than hearing
Rush defending himself. FX used to be pretty hip with The Sheild and
they have Rescue Me with Denis Leary but since losing Al Bundy and Hank
Hill to other channels, I just don't watch FX as I used to.
Cartoon
Network still has the mostly dumbass Adult Swim shows and most don't
make any sense whatsoever which is why they still rely on Family Guy or
King Of The Hill to keep the older crowds. Only original that makes
sense is Robot Chicken. but even that has been dumbed down a lot lately.
Since
losing The Atlanta Braves, TBS and TNT haven't been on my watch list
too much outside of a occasional Home Improvement. The Baseball game of
the week they debuted in place of the Braves is a sell out and a joke
and most of the time the games that are shown are blacked out anyway.
Used to be that cable would give us baseball games every day. But now
with WGN slashing Cub and White Sox games down to about half what they
used to be and most are on cable channels we can't get. And all cable
channels tend to show the same movies. Yes I like Swept Away or Forest
Gump just like you but really don't need to see both of them every other
week. For music channels, GAC is that. CMT is now another Viacom
Reality channel and the only reason why VH1 hasn't been blocked out yet
is that they do show a music related show once in a while. MTV=Moron TV
and nuff said. VH1 classic seemed to have gone downhill but like Coke,
we prefer the original to the original channel and Viacom doesn't get
it. Just add a few more reality shows for the brain dead. The Weather
Channel is just about worthless, five minites of weather, ten minites of
commercials and the same program of It Can Happen Here or Storm Chasers
or Force Of Nature. But it is a slight step up to the old PAX network,
ION tv, to which over half thier programming goes to infocommericals.
Waste of your time, waste of mine. But it is a step up from MTV, nuff
said.
RIP Hank Locklin died at age 91.
