T'was The Week Before Turkey Day 2009



Big changes for me and the missus as we move into a smaller quaint li'l house just down the road from where we've pretty much have been off and on for around 16 years. The "big" move in date is(was) Monday, November 16th.

Just sitting here on a slower than usual Saturday morning here at work watching the late Bob Ross paint on of his beautiful masterpieces on public television on the big plasma TV waiting on the afternoon of college football to begin. I will be flipping between the Tennessee/Ole Miss, Clemson/NC State.

Gonna watch some of the Thanksgiving themed cooking shows while at work here this weekend to get some ideas for 'turkey day'. Of course to me, some of the ideas are way too fancy or unusual. I DO have that Wednesday and Thursday off. I work the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday after Thanksgiving.

It's the middle of November here in Greenville, SC and the temperature today will be 3 or 4 degrees shy of 80 degrees. Now this is after a couple of 3 freezes in October.

So they've apparently found water on the moon. NASA says the impact they made a few weeks ago into a shadowy crater at the moon has revealed enough frozen water to fill at least five gallon buckets. An official NASA unit of measurement, hahaha! I'm a huge fan of NASA; always have. I was wondering about the moon. I know it controls the tides here on mother gaia (Earth). What if the moon consisted of mostly water underneath a thin shell of "space dirt"? What if major drilling or development actually would cause great harm to it and subsequently and dramatically affect the earth's oceans? Hmmm. BTW, Roland Emerich's latest CGI-ed destruction of Earth, "2012", was released yesterday. Coincidence?

The mighty Tarheels take own coach Butch Davis' old team, the Miami Hurricanes this afternoon at 3:30pm ET. Butch took the 'canes form obscurity to National prominence in the 80's. We're still waiting on him to work that same magic at Chapel Hill here at year 3.Earlier this week. the mighty #6 ranked Tarheel basketball team defeated 2 division 2 teams. YAY!

The Steelers face a tough test against the Bengals Sunday.

The United States' first marijuana cafe opened on Friday in Portland, Oregon this week.

Babes Carrie Prejean and Sarah Palin are being destroyed by national TV media this week and probably continuing for the next few days because of books they've recently written.

I'm outta here. Take care and have a great day.
