No Cable TV & A Snowstorm In Vegas
It's a late blog tonight. In fact, to be honest with you, I was going to skip it today completely because it was a busy day. However, due to some circumstances, I really have nothing else to do right now. Here's the story. As I've mentioned before, Rae & I are in the process of moving, but we're still living in our current location in Spotsylvania (we're moving to Fredericksburg). We got home tonight after running some errands to find we had NO cable on either TV. So, now, I have to call the cable company. First, I have to press 1 for English. Don't even get me started on that one. Next, I get to talk to a computer for 5 minutes. Here I am, a grown man, having a verbal conversation with a computer. The next thing I know, the computer PUTS ME ON HOLD!!!!!!!!! So, I'm sitting there, listening to Juice Newton's Queen Of Hearts for 5 hours, when suddenly, a LIVE person gets on. He barely speaks English, but at least he's LIVE!!!!!!!!! He sounds like a guy who should be printing out lottery tickets at the local 7-11, but he's LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After 30 minutes of being on the phone with this guy, he accomplishes absolutely NOTHING! I still have no cable. I said, "OK, I guess that's it". He says, "Is there anything else I can help you with tonight?"
"Is there anything ELSE? You didn't help me with this!!!
On a more cheerful note: Tomorrow is the big day. Tomorrow morning, one of you will win the $5,000.00 Little Tree, $5,000.00 in cash & prizes. It will all happen at our live remote broadcast at Smoothie King in Massaponix tomorrow morning from 9 to 11. Come on out and be a part of the live broadcast. I'm looking forward to seeing you out there.
Finally, we were talking about this this morning. Las Vegas, Nevada has been hit with some really bizarre weather. They had SNOW!! In fact, they had 5 inches of it. Al Gore is currently writing a sequel to his global warming documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth". This one will be called, "Never Mind".
I told a listener this morning that the reason it probably snowed in Las Vegas is because O.J. Simpson finally went to jail and Hell froze over.
A local Vegas meteorologist called the snowfall "a significant historical event". That might be a bit of an overstatement. Then again, this IS Las Vegas, where they consider the invention of the 99-cent shrimp cocktail to be a "significant historical event".
It got so cold in Vegas, that Barry Manilow's face froze solid......no wait.....it was already like that, never mind.
Talk to you Monday. Have a great weekend!!
