• Random thoughts…

  The work week is over, clothes are done and the weekend chores are on the list. Nothing like trying to get out door work done before Winter rears his ugly head…

  A few deaths in the Entertainment Industry. Andy Williams and Michael O’Hare of Babylon 5 died this week. On the later, he was the fourth cast mate of that show that has died. I’m sad to see him leave this plane of existence. One season of the show and he did it very well.

  On the way into work Wednesday, The Romney/Ryan tour bus was heading west as I was heading east. All those State Trooper patrol cars and I floored it to work for a bit knowing that they were on the other side of the road heading in the opposite direction and that chances of me being stopped for speeding was very small. I can not wait for the political ads to end. President Obama will get his second term. I won’t be voting for him. And the main reason why is because he cut a decent chunk of NASAs funding. Sorry but there are more wasteful areas to cut funding from and he hasn’t yet. He’s had his hands full from the mess George W. left him and I don’t anyone will be able to fix it for a while. And all the money being spent on attack ads could/should be spent else where…

  I’ll be heading to West Virgina the first week of November to see some family. So, I’ll be away for a week from Xanga land because up in the hills of WV, the internet service isn’t too great and it’s slower than molasses in the dead of Winter. I may try and post something but maybe a week from the internet will do me good. Yeah right, I’m an a junkie for the “Net”. Unless there’s some decent books coming out… But the main goal is to visit with family. And hopefully get some decent photos of the mountains before the first snow hits with my Galaxy Exhibit.

  For the Coffee drinkers out there, Saturday is National Coffee Day. So those coffee drinkers may want to see if any place is going to celebrate the day.

  Did anyone care that the NFL Referees are back? With all that is wrong with the world, even The President Of The United States had to add his comments on it. Sheesh… Anyways my “hometown” team is 0-4. The same day, The Cleveland Indians fired their coach. Ohio State Buckeyes are playing at 3:30pm Saturday. This ends the sports edition of this “Random Thoughts”…

  Has anyone watched the new season of TV yet. The only two shows I’ve watched were NCIS and NCIS Los Angeles. Or has anyone watched Elementary, the new Sherlock Holmes spin-off? Or Vegas? The later being a show set in the late 1950′s-early 1960′s. As good as my smart phone, the PSP has a larger screen. I was watching Mission Impossible via Netflix on the phone. The quality was good but I prefer the larger screen on the PSP. I’d buy the PSP Vita but for the cash I’m going to shell out, I want it to do more. And for $250.00 for the cheapest version and not including their version of a memory card, I’m going to wait a bit.

  As if I don’t waste enough time playing games, does anyone have any favorite games for their smart phone that they would recommend? Until I master the stylus, Words With Friends is out of the question.

  Well, time to call it a night. Using a wire brush to prepare for painting next weekend. Lots of scraping and a front yard/back yard to mow before a rainy Sunday. I may read Andrew Vachss “That’s How I Roll” before calling it a night. For the writers out there in Xanga Land, I’ll read most anything once.

  Have a safe weekend. One last entertainment bit of news: White Collar and Major Crimes have been renewed.
