Purdue is giving the game away.

I just heard Chet Atkins playing Jingle Bells on the radio.

RAVE
How do you make a laugh?

Purdue just ran a kickoff for a touchdown against Penn State.

Rave: Hillary Clinton being “exposed” on immigration issues during the recent Dem debate.

Rant: Ever notice the way that some speak to her? I remember watching the YouTube debate and seeing someone from the crowd speaking to her directly and calling her “Hillary.” Even if I don’t like her politics, she is a United States Senator. Show a little respect and call her “Senator Clinton” at least. I don’t see folks referring to Senator Obama by his first name, but then again I don’t usually watch the Dem debates.

KI: Life is rough isn’t it?

Re: Slow dial up. It continues with DSL. Nothing is ever fast enough. Don’t you often stand with your hand on the door of the microwave, impatiently waiting for it to finish?
A lot of people here don’t even know what the proverb “A watched pot never boils” means.

Right Outkast. Congratulations. It took me a while to get used to retirement. I was always looking around, feeling that I had to be doing something. Now I have too much to do. I hope to get caught up this winter.

Rant: Slow dial-up which keeps kicking me off-line.

Rave: That life is so good right now that I can complain about something relatively petty.

Congrats, OUTKAST, on your retirement. I hope you will enjoy it as much as my husband and I do. I also hope you will do much that is good and productive with this new time of life!

Nor rant nor rave: People say daylight savings as in “savings and loan.” Turning the clock is a kind of savings–daylight savings.

Rant: the DMV’s ugly insistence on “driver license” instead of “driver’s license.”

And then you could live in Northern Alaska where the sun doesn’t shine for several months (or at least is not up for very long). But then, you get those midnight softball games in full daylight come July!

Anlir:
Good point. You reminded me that when I was working in the DC area, there was a couple of months when I saw no daylight at all except on the weekends.

Rant! My last day getting off work while there is still some daylight left.

Rave! Only 7 more weeks until it starts staying light out later in the evening.

I guess ya’ll have figured out I don’t like winter.
