Notes for Tuesday

My later starting time at work had me wondering this morning if everybody else thought that sitting in traffic, waiting to go through an intersection seemed way longer than three minutes doing other things?

I would like to thank everybody for all of their kind comments on the last post, especially those who wrote poems in my honor.

My favorite morning show hosts now have their very own website. Check out WynnandWilson.com. Make a comment if you feel lead to do so.

Long time readers here know my disdain for some local traffic reports. Now another service, Metro networks, has decided to do most of their reports in this region from a hub in Detroit. If you want to know how this may work, do a Mapquest of a route familiar to you. This is what happened to me yesterday. I had to go to a rental place to put a deposit on a sound system for my company picnic. I used an internet map service(they shall remain nameless since they own Blogger). I thought this may be a quicker route than the one I was familiar with. I was wrong and getting stuck in traffic with a full bladder isn't the best feeling you can have. Now getting back to the traffic reports, I will stick with the live and locally owned stations who have their own traffic reporters, thank you.

My thoughts for my coming Sunday Musing are going towards organization and procrastination.

Have a tremendous day!

hey congrats on ur 1000 post man....good deal.

down here they generate a traffic report if four cars show up at the same stoplight at the same time!!! lol (san angelo IS a small town)

you get more than 6 cars on the loop at the same time and the state police show up to see whats going on... lol

i have a 6 mile drive to work in the mornings. i leave the house at about 5:55 or 6 - - if i pass more than 1 car i panic cuz i'll get stuck in a jam somewhere! lol

i could go on..but you get the idea...

keep up the fine blog cliff - - i like stopping by.....

Two of my favorite things.

Funny....I listen to WJR a lot and get Detroit traffic updates.(via JetCopter 760)

Rich: Thank's for commenting again. I know you've been reading but I've missed your responses.

Now if they could send Jetcopter 760 over 77 between 3:30 and 4:00pm, I might start listening. Just cover the area between 490 and the turnpike.

But seriously, OMW told me via email that a couple of producers from Cleveland will be making the move to Detroit. That and other technology may help make it seamless.

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

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 game was

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
