That was a pretty Dee-ish thing to do wasn't it:)

Here is some Talking Heads that I've had stuck for a while:

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack

And you may find yourself in another part of the world

And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile

And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful

wife

And you may ask yourself-Well...How did I get here?



Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by/water flowing underground

Into the blue again/after the money's gone

Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack

And you may find yourself in another part of the world

And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile

And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful

wife

And you may ask yourself-Well...How did I get here?



Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by/water flowing underground

Into the blue again/after the money's gone

Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!

Random news from Oxford, MS as the presidential debate approaches:

The activists and protesters have hit the town square, including two people dressed in pig suits calling for a meat tax.

I like that Talking Heads song.

I like this Wall of Voodoo song:

I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
And the touch of a world that is older
I turn the switch and check the number
I leave it on when in bed I slumber
I hear the rhythms of the music
I buy the product and never use it
I hear the talking of the DJ
Can't understand just what does he say?

I'm on a mexican radio. I'm on a Mexican - whoah - radio

I dial it in and tune the station
They talk about the U.S. inflation
I understand just a little
No comprende, it's a riddle

I'm on a mexican radio. I'm on a Mexican, whoa-Oh, radio
I'm on a mexican radio. I'm on a Mexican, whoa-Oh, radio

I think so.  I got a blood test done yesterday, too, so it's possible my thyroid is a little off.  Tired and cold work as symptoms for both.

I'm getting kind of excited for the marathon!  Still nervous as hell, but getting more excited.

Do you have pictures of that?  It would probably make my day. 

barqhead - 2008-09-25 2:49 PM  Oo. I like that one too. "I wish I was in Tiajuana eating barbequed iguana" I got in my second double workout day of the week! I've done 2 run and bike days And I didn't get blown over by the wind and I had encounters with wildlife! Friendly encounters. Saw a mama and baby deer in the road today. So cute and pretty.

Nice job, Pam!!   Glad you didn't get blown over.  The wind is really strong for us today.  Are you getting any of the TS effects?

I wish I did.  I have a pic of the debate stage, but that's not very exciting.  I do have a request in to some people up there practically begging for some pictures of the stuff you don't see on the news.

We had protesters up here for the RNC.  290 protesters arrested, which is fine with me.  Your right to protest ends when it infringes on the rights, let alone human decency of others.  I don't exactly consider throwing rocks, bottles and garbage at cops, slapping and spitting on delagates, throwing flares into garbage dumpsters and breaking windows peaceful protesting.  Bunch of whiners.  (rant over).

Good luck.

Hopefully, with this being a debate and not a convention, it'll just be marches and stuff promoting awareness of something.  Actually,  I bet a lot of people have no clue where Oxford, MS is, so there might not be many protests at all.

That's just weird.  From the number of people I"ve seen at WalMart with tons of kids, I think their message is lost.

Funny, I avoid Wal-Mart because of all the kids.  At least I'm considerate enough to not bring my whining/screaming kids to the store.  That's what dad is for.  Of course, now that I think about it, the few times I bring them is to get  a haircut.  Maybe that's why they scream?

Artemis - 2008-09-25 2:46 PM Nah.  Only a little Dee-ish.  It didn't matter too much since I already had it in my head before I saw your post.

I'm going out on a limb and guessing that was fresh venison and not road kill...

Sorry, I'm in a sarcastic mood today...

Nah...I think WalMart just induces screaming in children.  Every child there seems to scream.  I don't know why.

I went there at 2 am once because I was desperate for some cold medicine and it was the only place I knew was open...could not believe the number of really little kids there.  Shouldn't they be sleeping or something?

You would think so... 

hmm... you are in MS... better that protestors dress up in pink piggy outfits than white sheets...

Oh, and I know where Oxford MS is.... yes my father once burned a rebel flag INSIDE the satdium...  and I went sat else where and behaved as a proper Cajun Tiger at Halloween should.

Go at 6am.... guarantee you will not see a  child insight.... and not many parents either....

Problem though.... the lazy stock boys leave the pallets all over the isles and then just sit there and chat while you're trying to get through  (on Thanksgiving morning last year)

mchally - 2008-09-25 1:48 PM Hello Nibbs.

I know I just start posting....  that's kind of how I am... I just start talking....

^^^^^ and now I must stop talking and get back to work...
