Another day in paradise

Okay, so I am working today while it's raining outside. How do I know that? It's also raining inside. Today was also the day for our monthly safety class, which is mandated by whomever does this in the federal government. The good thing about this is it is an hour away from the job. The bad thing about this it takes an otherwise productive hour out of my life. I do get some exercise during this, though. My neck gets a good workout during these meetings where we get to watch videos that we watch so often that we can say the dialog. These are important but I wish we could at least see them in a room that has a little better circulation.

Time for work to end. I get to the parking out and the weather is betwixt and between. It doesn't know if it wants to rain or snow. Ah, March in Northeast Ohio.

While in the WIXYmobile, I notice an idiot light flashing on my dash. I need oil, so off to Evil Big Box Store #2966. While there I also got a Mrs74WIXYgrad survival kit-Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and a bouquet of flowers. Next off to Circle K for some gas as I was sucking fumes, which gave me the opportunity to put the oil purchased at afore mentioned #2966. I still had to walk in the yuck to go into the store to wash the oil off my hands, which leads me to my next question:

If the sign in the restroom says "Employees must wash hands," and I end up washing my own hands, it's false advertising?

I had to get a nonsense post out of my system. Have a great day everyone.

cliff-who'd have thunk we would be happy to see gas for ONLY 319 and deisel for UNDER 400? btw, when you wash the oil off of your hands, you ARE an employee following the county health department directives. you don't have to be THEIR employe. LOL.

Pat, every other living being at the WIXYranch is better taken care of than the major breadwinner there. I can attest to that.

The WIXYmobile has a leak in a front seal.

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...

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil...

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The...
