"Now...Why don't He Write?"

Dances With Wolves. Any time. Any place.

In the event that you don't know, Dances With Wolves is my all time favorite movie. And now I am listening to 10 hours of it in my car on tape. I am captivated by it's story. I want to be there.

And of course there are some glorious lines. Like when Timmons and Dunbar find the dead dude with arrows in him and Timmons says the famous line..."somebody back East is saying, now...why don't he write?" Glorious I tell ya! And then there's the line when Dunbar (Kostner) looks right at his horse and says "what are you looking at?" Oh yeah! And of course there's the one when Dunbar's horse, Cisco, scares him and he says..."bad horse....bad horse".

So with great lines in mind, what are some of your favorite lines from some of your favorite movies?

Alice? Is that you?

Yesterday morning we were greeted by a white rabbit hanging out under a bush in the front yard. He was just sitting there. We thought perhaps he was a pet that had gotten away. Not knowing what to do, we did nothing.

Then in the afternoon I looked over by the trailer and he was sitting next to the big stump. I went over near him and he hopped away under another bush. Sue came out and put a big chunk of lettuce on the stump for 'eem.

Later, we couldn't find him. We though that perhaps he had gone away. Or maybe he had found another spot to bed down for the night.

This morning...........he's back. He's sitting next to the trailer again just looking so bunny-like. He's really cute. I want to go try to pet 'eem but he'll run away. And who knows, he may be a wild ferocious rabbit anyway and could take my head off.

For now, we are enjoying our visitor and I hope he stays.

Business Opportunity in Deadwood

Deadwood is a cool show. We are almost finished with the first episode and we are noticing how the little town is growing. A semi-government and lots of new business are popping up.

We asked ourselves, what kind of business would we put into Deadwood if we lived there?

A few ideas came up. Like laundry service. Or maybe even a restrant.

And then we asked ourselves what kind of business would we do that really would make no sense at all. Like....an airport. Or video store. Or internet cafe. You get the idea.

Give it your best shot.

What kind of business would you put into Deadwood that really would make no sense at all based upon the times in which they lived.

Go ahead. Give it a try.

News Flash...Hillsboro changes elevation!

A few years ago I was doing some testing at Intel which required me to know the temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed etc. And I needed to know the exact elevation. So my company purchased a very expensive gizmo that tells you all of that.
We determined that the elevation at the Hillsboro Airport was 230' above sea level. It was determined that the airport was the average elevation for Hillsboro.
Ok. You following so far?..........
Flash forward to yesterday and today.
I am driving home from work. Listening to the radio. And the weather dudes and dudettes say that today will be rainy with snow above 1200'.
I wake up this morning to realize that either the sea level dropped over night, or Hillsboro rose from an average of 230' above sea level to over 1200'.
I am astonished that this geographical Biblical type stuff still happens. And it makes me happy.
Good day.
