yup, the weekend, in case you miss it.

Hot, I know why dwell on a subject. I can not fix it, I did not do it, just reporting things as I see them. At times, you just got to let the inner Poet out to ramble for a bit, and I'm letting him loose.

Morning air

Still as a dead man’s breath

Soft as a midmorning star

Unseen,

desert blanket covers the land.

Santa Ana's, bluff and harsh

Announce their arrival

In brazen sounds of wind,

Assertive in Their dominance

Strident in passing.

Ghosts of sand,

of Indians, Spaniards and western lore.

But

This heat has no sounds

No pulse, no malevolence

Even As it takes breath,

Draws all moisture

And in sepulchral silence,

bears all

To parched and weary ground.

I'm old enough to get away with this, Have a groovy weekend!

Are we all in agreement here that it's hot, or am I alone in thinking this

Yes the Sun feels that close. now for those of you interested in such things,,134 in Death Valle: all time high. Other highs, not necessarily yesterday.

NY 108,Texas,120,Arizona,128, and....

sorry folks, but this studio does not have air, and so I will say, look it up on your own, I got things to do. After Sunset my friends, Stay cool

everybody all at once now ARGGGGGGG

So my friends, here we sit on the cusp of forever, a score plus one into the new century and snarling on a phone is still a method of getting things done. Five times since June our TV system has made me wish for the days of Rabbit Ears when you could put Beer Cans: Schlitz it seems, on them and get decent reception. Going to school in the Great White North,

Sunday Night Hockey on Canadian TV was a must see; but since it was in French, we would tune in the game on the radio,. It was seldom in Synch with play but it worked. yes I digress, I am permitted. I have achieved the required number of years.

BUTTTT

it seems for $250 a month or more I could get a better TV experience, I mean really, in late 60's dollars, that was a ton of beer, and pretzels, and those horrible meat things in packages. So anyway, after an hour or so on a chat line, then hold for 45minutes to hear someone in broken English say that they had no idea of how to fix my issue, but if I upgraded it would all be better. I will, alas, never know. I did that once, but this time i used my right to veto.

I have changed providers, and now wait like a child on Christmas eve for the ill fitting gifts, the wrong team logo shirts and the under ware , so many pairs of sad white Boxers. Hoping that maybe there will be a Puppy, or an Air gun or perhaps even a TV that works as well as it did so many moons ago.

Wires, I still ,recall, Wires.AHHHHHH
