Christmas has gone to the Goats!!!

Merry Christmas everyone...

My annual Christmas question

OK, here we are approaching Christmas again and again I ask this question:

Does anyone know of or heard of anyone that bought a car, based on a Christmas commercial?

You should have noticed by now that there are LOTS of commercials on TV for cars at this time of the year. I ask this question because, so far the answer has always been no or no response. So, why the heck do the auto manufactures waste their money, forcing us to watch them when they don't sell any.

Gratitude HD

A friend just sent me a link to this video. It has such a wonderful message that I had to post it. Watch in HD and full screen if you can.

Today is the end of an era!!!

Do you realize that today is the twelfth day of the twelfth month of the year two thousand and twelve? That's 12/12/12, shorthand.

A friend of mine told me about this and I kind of pooh-pohed it as nothing special. But if you think about it... This is the last time that there will ever be a date like this. Once today passes to the thirteenth it stops!!

You see, there is no thirteenth month (at least in "our" normal calendar). So there can't ever be a 13/13/13!

Cool huh???

Quick trip north

So yesterday, I took a quick trip to VT to visit my son. On the way there, while driving down this country road.

I saw this sign and thought it must be some sort of a joke. At the very least, I was very confused over it's meaning.

Then as I drove along, I saw this sign and it all made perfect sense to me.

Political Advertisment :-(

Last night we were watching a video that I had previously recorded, of an issue of a TV show that we've been watching. The show is called Castle and we think it's great. Anyway while watching it, a Political Advertisement came on and I was half way through it and the thought came to me; wait a minute the elections have already been held!. Obviously I had been so attuned to those stupid things being on that I just sort of accepted it. Needless to say, the FAST FORWARD button was quickly depressed.. :-)

Ever hear of Thorium?

I saw this on Eolake's Blog this morning and decided to copy it here. Wow, if this is true, think of what it means. Here is a quote from the article. "'There's enough Thorium here to power the United States for 500 years,' Williams said." There's also a video from a news broadcast on it.

And the bridge wins again!
