Friends and Family

Two members of my family and an old friends are visiting us from way out of town. They all three have rode the motorcycle almost clean across the US to get here. They are not enjoying the record setting rainfall we are having this year but I am loving it.

The Master Chief is here!

The wold son will be rid of all illegal aliens.
Well the extraterrestrial kinds at least, for Master Chief Petty Officer SPARTAN-117 or simply know as John will be here at Midnight.
John is the star of the game series Halo. The tough as nails Master Chief stared in Halo and Halo2 and the upcoming sequel and closer of the Halo trilogy Halo 3.

The fictitious Master Chief or THE MASTER CHIEF as followers of the Halo series call him has a following any politician, rock star, or actor would envy.

Voiced by Steve Downes and created by Marcus Lehto, Rob McLees, and Shi Kai Wang is a mystery man as all good western and gun toting hero should be. Never shown without his helmet and soft spoken he rides into town, kicks ass, then rides off without a goodbye.

The Master Chief was voted eighth greatest video game hero ever.

Midnight tonight marks the release of Halo 3.

In the words of one of the games other characters..."Let's get freaky people!"

The Idiots of the Week Award.

I hereby announce that this weeks of the "Idiot Of The Week Award" is ABC News Overnights hosts Ron Corning and Taina Hernandez. Both of them displayed extreme lows in professionalism and commons sense while doing a segment on the recent death of Marcel Marceau. If their behavior reflect that of ABC News in general all parties involved should be ashamed of themselves.

Not Know When To Stop

I had blood work done Thursday. While sitting in the waiting room I was watch a specially made program done for the company who's office I was in. Everyone was watching the program with wrapped attention. The show descried what the company does and the steps they take to guaranty you privacy. During the show they showed a nurse or tech taking blood. They showed the needle breaking the skin. At this point every either held a magazine in front of their face, closed his eyes, or turned away. The producers of this video had everyone attention up till that point. They simple did not know when to stop so they lost their viewers. A little self control would have helped these people.

Goodbye Felix

Hurricane Felix made landfall at 8 am at Punta Gorda, Nicaragua.
This is well south of us. Felix should blow himself out by late tomorrow afternoon.
There are 86 days left in hurricane season.

Felix

There is now another class four hurricane named Felix headed our way. It should make landfall around Wednesday morning and renter the Gulf of Mexico the following day if not sooner. If Felix follows the project path he will impact Mexico late next week. Again I hope the hurricane maintains its current projected path and misses us entirely. We in any case receive even more rain. Both of our major water sources are full and over flowing.
