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...

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...

Bananas and Sleep Apnea

First thing I want to do is welcome all the good folks from Australia who are checking me out as a result of Google searches. I recently wrote a post on sleep apnea , discussing my history with it and my new CPAP machine. Because of this and the name of my blog, this is the top site google lists when somebody types "bananas sleep apnea" into the search line on Google. All of the sites I have seen, that were not the usual sites that come here, ended in "dot au" which I know as Australia. Normally the only hit from down under is by my good friend David McMahon. The reason for the search is that a research team in Australia has found. as a result of a study, that drinking a banana smoothie may assist in easing conditions that cause sleep apnea. Phospholipids, or fatty acids, in bananas stay active in the mouth for six hours and may keep the throat open, therefore reducing the risk of choking. Further studies will expand to those, like myself, who need a breathing machi...

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...
