Some thoughts escaping my head

Happy Presidents Day: Only thing I can say about that is I could use some more pictures of dead ones in my wallet.

I will try to get the WIXYcam out in the next couple of days as there is a flood warning for the County in which I reside. There is a creek about 1000 feet from my house that gets pretty high in those circumstances. In case you are interested in knowing about the news in my area, click on the Wooster Daily Record link located on the WIXY News Stand block on my sidebar.

New friend, Chelle is doing a great job in posting a letter a day and a picture corresponding to it on her Life is What You Make it blog. If you've not been over there, why not? Today is "F" for Family. In this post, Chelle also reveals that she has a masters degree in psychology so if nothing else, she understands us.

Legacy of Laughs: Those who have been with me for awhile know I like my iTunes and I get podcasts all the time. You also know I like mine free(if it's free, it's for me!) The podcast I am enjoying most nowadays is called Legacy of Laughs. It's a collection of old time radio programs, featuring such people as Bob Hope, Martin and Lewis, George Burns and Gracie Allen, and Red Skelton. The link I've given goes directly to a podcast of Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. You can get a new podcast every week from iTunes. As the website states, "A good joke is timeless." And as I say a good new joke is usually a recycled good old joke.

Now I'm off to look for websites devoted to businesses from days gone by.

ok wixy... the secret is out. I do understand you and as the old saying goes (modified somewhat)..
"If I can't treat 'em, join em!)
Just joking, I take my job very seriously but sometimes, as with any job, you have to find some humor in it or you will be of no good to those that you are trying to teach/help.

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?
