Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
When we're at home I can tune her out. But we were at a restaurant last night, so I was a captive audience.
Cow, cabbage...you know the drill...
Don't think I'll be able to afford the cable. I think the building has some sort of antena thing going; Dad said I might get a few channels. I don't watch much, it would be nice to have Fox News, but sigh.
Then again when we were looking for apartments, we went to a great little Mexican joint a mile from my place and their tvs all played Fox News. Might be a good study hang-out...
Well, my lab is mostly fixed up again now.
And I have notes on what must be left on the computers as well as how they need to be set up for optimal usage in my classes.
At least when IT guy comes back next week I will be there. And I will assist him in completing the installation of the virus protection so we'll be done with this for fall quarter.
I'm guessin' your more likely to listen to a country station than Jen. ;-)
I'll bet she laughed, but I'll bet she thought it would be a great thing to do!!
I'm hearin' it pretty often in WalMart lately too. :-)
Wonder if she's gettin' a kickback on her advertising for them? :-)
I'm sure you could find a nice silk ficus in Ft. Collins!
Probably more likely to have country music playing in our malls and stores, too.
It was more like a sigh...
I figger somebody else bought the property and got 'em a fine large porch! :-)
Heck, that place ain't far from where Bear and Rose live! :-)
Er, yeah. I have four stations programmed into my dial: two vaguely-Christian more-or-less-music stations, the station with Rush, and the conservative talking heads station.
Country's just not me. Maybe country-flavored rock, now and then.
Could be...You got a Walmart on the way to one of them Texas "indoor scenery" places?
Esprit is a well know Mall brand name, 2J. You gots a bargain!!
Not that there's anything wrong with that. ;-)
Come Entmoot '05, we're takin' you two-steppin'...
Oh yeah! The WalMart is 7 blocks from my house. And Sam's is a block closer! :-)
You know what they say about the housing market, "location, location, location!" I got prime property for a redneck woman! :-)
War driving without ever leaving home!
We actually have a decent variety of stations here, though they're few and far between. Only some have strong enough signals to be heard everywhere.
I have an odd mix of programmed buttons...equal parts country and "soft" or classic rock (mostly seventies and eighties music), plus a few stations that play OLD music, like from the forties and fifties. Oh, and one that plays modern pop, which I mostly only listen to for five minutes on the way home - they have a cool trivia quiz.
I have NPR on one button, too...only because they have a few decent music programs on the weekend. I avoid that button all other times. *shudder*
You know... I lived really well without cable TV for a long time.
You can find live streams of Fox News or any of the other cable channels. I had a whole library of TV stream links at the time. They aren't publicized, but searching for them, you can find them.
I know what she meant!
