Bridge Over Troubled Waters?

Leave a comment Posted by on March 21, 2011
Sacramento's Tower Bridge

Tower Bridge spanning the Sacramento River

Definitely a bridge. Definitely over water. I’m not certain it is a bridge over “troubled” waters but hey, YOU try to write that phrase without singing at least PART of the Simon & Garfunkel song of the same name (for the young uns out there Simon & Garfunkel were a very talented song writing team during the ’70’s. After much drama they split. Check it out when you have some time.) inside your head.

This photo was taken with my Windows Phone 7 and I think it turned out really good. Nice job Samsung!

It is now March 22 and the river is really up.  We have been having lots of rain in the valley and even more snow up in the mountains.  Since it is March and Spring has just sprung, the weather will be getting warm pretty soon.  This means, the already full reservoirs will be filling with new runoff and our current def-con 4 situation will be getting an adjustment to a 5.  Hopefully our levees will hold and keep the water where it belongs…..which is inside the levees!

My Sister and I did this….

Back about a hundred years ago when dinosaures roamed the earth, my sister and I had a plastic sword battle. You know those little swords they use to hold sandwiches together? I stabbed her in the ear with one of those.

We were on the top bunk of the bunk bed when the sword fight broke out. We went back and forth for at least a couple of minutes and an errant swashbuckling moment later, she had a little sword sticking out her ear, blood streaming down her neck, and 110 decibals of OUCH emanating from her throat. We went to the hospital right after that to see what kind of damage there was and I was grounded for a month or more.

I saw the video below and just had to share it. I’m pretty sure I’m breaking some rule by posting the video but it was so funny to watch I couldn’t help it. Enjoy!

Who said you can’t find anything worthwhile on the internet?  Not me!

Most of the time I use the ‘net to figure stuff out.  How to get somewhere, places to go camping, instructions for assembling something, and what happened at last nights game.  News, weather, and sports; that kind of stuff.

If you look around long enough the web will provide some kind of serious humor too.  And since I am not a YouTube junkie, and don’t spend time looking around for the funny stuff, I am happily surprised when I find it.

This one found me!  It’s origin is unknown and interestingly enough, the file was sent via e-mail by my 80 year old Dad.  Proof positive the internet is useful and easy to use.

Song In My Brain….

1 Comment Posted by on February 1, 2011

The Song In My Brain this morning was: Kid Rock’s “Born Free”.

For the record, I am not generally a fan of Kid Rock, but I can make an exception here cuz the song ROCKS!  Get about a minute into the song and you might find your toe tapping and your brain memorizing some of the lyrics.  If you are like me, you might break out your own personal air guitar and begin strumming wildly along with the song.  Just be careful to have the music at a level others will hear as they walk by staring at your interpretation of the song…..there is nothing quite like watching someone gyrate to a tune only they can hear.  Share the tune….earplugs are not allowed!

IF I DID THIS RIGHT, you should be able to view the YouTube video right here, right now.  Enjoy!

The clip is from the CMA Music Festival 2010
