Today was pretty calm. In a mini-heat wave it got up to 9 or 15 degrees depending on which weather reporter you believed. So it is below 0 right now and will undoubtedly be cold as I meander down to the radio station in the morning. I hate it when the\u00c2\u00a0combination\u00c2\u00a0of cold and wind is enough that one has to wear a scarf to cover the face or get frostbitten. Guess I’ll just have to wait for the weekend when it is supposed to get warmer.<\/p>\n
I figured I’d answer\/respond to a few of the comments from the last week.<\/p>\n
First of all, I want to thank the people who read the story of L and I and thought it was sweet. As I read the other responses to Mama Kat’s<\/a> challenge<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0, I found a number of other stories that I thought were pretty amazing as well. It’s always fun to read the responses to the challenges. I really encourage everyone to journey over to Mama’s Losin’ It<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0on Thursdays to follow mr. linky and read the results of the weekly writer’s challenge.<\/p>\n And to CJ’s<\/a> mutual admiration of things cow, I’d add that there is a lawyer living out here with the custom plates MOOLAW. Maybe cows are the new cabbage patch kids? Who knows?<\/p>\n In the comments to Stupid (and Slow) Saturday<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0, Kris Loves Chocolate<\/a> from uptomyneckinchocolate<\/a> said \u00c2\u00a0the post gave her an idea for an upcoming post. I am waiting with baited breath to see what the combination of a nap and stupid criminals stories inspired. Somehow it seems an odd combo to inspire.<\/p>\n Blueviolet<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0of A Nut In A Nutshell<\/a> has my sympathies since she sometimes suffers loonies as well. All I have to say is that the maximum range of looniedom is coming to a close since I will be term limited out of office come November. Then it will be someone else’s problem. {*grin*}<\/i>\u00c2\u00a0(BTW, you should go read her post for today. It has a funny story that really seems to appeal to the female of the species.)<\/i><\/p>\n In Week Before Super Bowl Sunday<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0, I talked about my un-crowning and filled out the meme from blueviolet’s<\/a> blog. I want to let Kelley of Magneto Bold<\/a> know that dental cement is designed to be removed if need be, but artificial joints are epoxied in, so I don’t think it is much of a concern. {*grin*}<\/i> (And you really should read her post for the today if you have any sense of techie humor. The parody of an O’Reilly cover is\u00c2\u00a0stunningly\u00c2\u00a0funny.)<\/i> And for blueviolet<\/a> and Jenners<\/a> who thought that my answer to #23 was stereotypically male and funny, all I can say is guilty as charged.<\/p>\n And last but not least, the answer to the\u00c2\u00a0question posed by blueviolet<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0: why did I walk to the dentist? That is because I walk most places. No sense in driving if one can avoid it. It is only about 6 blocks to the dentist from my home office, so it isn’t a tough journey.<\/p>\n I just heard “Green Eyed Lady” by Sugarloaf<\/a> on the net radio. Boy does that bring back memories from high school. Sugarloaf<\/a> was a band out of Denver that hit it big in my high school years. One local even filled in on drums for them right after they released “Green Eyed Lady” but before it became a national hit. That was how they became one of the few famous rock groups ever to play here in this small town. Hopefully this is a better tune to have stuck in your head than “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vidi.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today was pretty calm.
