Post number 400

Yippee!

I was originally going to let this occasion pass quietly, but decided that it needed to be marked.

You may ask why I felt the need to do this. Well, maybe not. Well I did.

You have to realize that I have written 400 posts without the use of any illegal performance enhancing substances(let's hope that caffeine never becomes outlawed.) I have written about performance enhancing substances, with some posts about pro wrestling, but never taken them.

I have never written while under the influence of anything Illegal, or immoral. I have written while under the influence of things that were fattening.

Unlike a certain home run hitter who supposedly has a big head from what people think are performance enhancing substances(he says it's flax seed oil,) I only get the big head when I read my comments section. Keep them coming!

On to 500

Congrats on 400! Been here since the beginning. I cannot believe it is already 400. It just seems like yesterday it was post 50.

As I have always said to you Cliff your post is an inspiration to me and so many out there. It kind of takes me back to an episode or two of the Andy Griffith Show. It is wonderful that something or someone like you still exists in our faced paced, robotic like society. The warmth you generate has nothing to do with our planet having a fever.

Merry Christmas!

WZZP: As always, thank you for all your kind comments. As far as my blog being similiar to the Andy Griffith Show...well, I do have a cat named Goober.

Rich, you've been with me since the start as well. I am always grateful to OMW for his recognition of this blog.

Bella: All I can say about me having way more posts than you is...you have more of a life. But then again, if it weren't for you I would have never tried boiled peanuts or read Valley Girl's blog.

I have all those who read my blog to thank.

Val: My blog has nowhere near the popularity of yours, but you always take time to see what I have to write.

Diamond: You have some good and useful content on your blog. I will be featuring your blog very shortly.

David: You have been with me from the start and we also run into each other on the national radio boards. We need to meet for breakfast some Saturday morning at the Orrville Buehlers after the first of the year.

Warren: Welcome to the blogosphere. I hope you come back here often.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

My job

I have worked at my company for, unofficially, 17 years. When I first started working there in June, 1992, the average work week was 55-57 hours. Sometimes you worked more than that. I was 36 years old at the time and I could handle the long hours and short nights of sleep. 17 years and three knee surgeries later, I need less hours work and more hours sleep. Even moving into a quasi desk job, I still find it difficult to crawl out of bed at 3am. I could get up later if I wanted to put up with both rush hours. But this morning, things will change slightly. I received a call from my department manager yesterday. I was notified that I had to cut my time down to 40 hours. This would be down from 44-45 that I normally work. No surprise there as all the other departments got notified before I was. And I had to split my time between plants, doing calibrations at the other shop 1-1/2 days a week. I'm actually looking forward to the change. I also like the prospect of getting an hour extra...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
