New friend from the snowbelt

I always enjoy adding bloggers to my friends list. This one is a result of Jessica, of Five Pines fame, and her Christmas card exchange. Thanks to Jessica, I have picked up three friends this year, the other two being Jen and Shellmo.

Introducing Tales From the Pigeon. Pigeon comes from Chesterland, Ohio, an area that some of us in Northeast Ohio refer to as the snowbelt. The area has a higher elevation and is a straight shot off Lake Erie, meaning when we get wind currents from Canada, the moist air from the lake forms a ton more snow than others of us get. In comparison, I live in the Chippewa Valley and am more fortunate most of the time. We get an inch and a half of snow, the snowbelt gets a foot and a half.

Anyway back to my post. Pigeon has a blog that features her photography and family. She is also a participant of Weird Object Friday, a weekly post where she will find an unusual object and feature this on her blog.

Today Pigeon is showing off the photos she is able to take with her new camera, which was an early Christmas present.

To those who haven't visited, go on and do so. Check it out and leave a message to say how much you enjoy Tales From the Pigeon.

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...

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?

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...
