The cable on our TV is officially disconnected now. So long Scrubs, Reno 911, and VH1 top 100 videos, hello worthwhile activities and quality family time. Or so you think. But we still get the Discovery Channel, so now I can let my mind quietly stagnate to the tune of 'educational' television.
Today I learned how buses are made. This could be useful information to me since gas is like a trillion dollars a gallon and I will probably soon be riding a bus to work. Buses actually have wood paneling in the sides that are covered with fiber glass, and there are air compression tanks in the ceiling. I didn't know there was anything in the ceiling except more fiber glass. When I think of buses, the movie Speed comes to mind. So here is a snapshot of the thoughts in my head whilst watching this show
"air compression tanks in the ceiling eh? So now if I am riding a bus, and suddenly a mad bomber gets on a cell phone and says 'Hey I hid bombs in the air compression tanks, and no one knows where that is, hahaha you are all gonna die' I can say 'oh yes, they are in the ceiling' and save the day, hooray for me"
Useful information I tell ya. Thank God for the Discovery Channel, without it I might actually clean my kitchen.

Yes we all want to be a super hero. :) My favorite discover or was it history channel was on the history of sewer systems. Now that was one crappy show.
A very happy birthday! I just went through your entries and enjoyed them. You write well and have a flair for writing where your sense of humor comes through... Keep writing.
Why thank you. I have to admit I am not nearly as diligent as my dad, but then he doesn't have a hyperactive toddler.
I hear you because I really got into creative writing myself after my "toddler" left for college. I wish I had started earlier and honed it over the years as writing is also a skill... So keep at it.
