AWESOME!!!! Love the end -- was my first thought. But want to know how they tied down the umbrella!!! I' never had one of those last a storm let alone a few MPH :)


I dont know why --- but I always get more of a train vibe --- rail-road. Maybe its the fact I've always been fascinated by rail travel and the hobo life. I alwasy thought that was kind of a myth -- that it never really was a "thing" --- but recently I found out it still IS a thing. Just a couple weeks ago, a new hobo king and queen were crowned....can't make this stuff up. I stumbled on "hobo shoestring" on youtube....

Please note --- There is a hobo code of ethics --- and they are not bums, and to call one a bum is a pretty severe insult....

Drat! That song is running around in the ol' brain pan again...

Little before "my time" --- Bit, this did run me straight into SNL "Land Shark" and "Guido Sarducci" - acts I do rememer of the 70's. When TV was entertaining....Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, MASH (though sometimes preachy - first few seasons weren't as bad), Welcome Back Kotter, WKRP in Cincinatti, Sanford & Son come to mind nearly immediately. We of course could go real old skool with Honeymooners - even though that is 50's, it WAS on re-runs in the 70s. Newer than that, Frazier I suppose...

Ironically enough --- WKRP is now a real TV station in Cinci (TELEVISION STATION SERVING CINCINNATI AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY)

I would previously have added "All in the family" -- probably based on my family's regular viewings. Watching it now is grinding as it is just hyper political and gets OLD in about 3 seconds after meathead and gloria appeared .

I've become a media hoarder --- I have digitally recorded, purchased DVDs, and bought literally hundreds of DVD's of what I like --- I don't enjoy much that is made today. Thank Goodness for MeTV and the other 'oldies' networks. I can't think of the most recent TV show I've watched....maybe Firefly, Raising Hope, My Name is Earl, Better off Ted, Longmire...but I can't even tell you the names of a show in production today.

EDIT: Despirately looking for a not-overprice "Field of Dreams" - Thanks to the recent ball game, that film is hard to find!!!!
