Posts have been in rather short supply of late, as I'm sure few have noticed, since few read this anyway. I havent had much to say lately, politically anyway. When the Opposition tries to screw you, you cant really help but get mad. When your own side does the same thing, well, discouragement is the more likely result.
For now.
Anyway, a few of the exciting summer events I've not blogged about, in brief form:
1. Michael Jackson: a talented has-been, loved his older music (up to the mid 80s or so), hated the freakshow that followed. Enough already.
2. Went to Iowa to visit family. Short, but enjoyable, trip. The highs there were the same as the mornings in Dallas. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate Dallas summers?
3. I recently got Netflix. The thing that finally drew us in was the online content. For less than half the base cost of cable, we get all kinds of streaming shows and movies. Satellite will never get me back.

Netflix is that good? I might have to switch.
I'm reading, as always!
@ Pryme: Netflix had tempted me for a long time, but the turnaround time bugged me (short as it is, it still bugs me), but between the online material and the amazing array of stuff available by mail, it's definitely worth the price. I got rid of my cable/satellite a while back (too damned expensive, especially considering the crap that was on most of the time), and after that I found I could watch online most of the shows I liked anyway.
My next step may be something called a Roku, which, for (one time) about the cost of one month of satellite service, allows me to download movies from Netflix and watch those on the TV. Sweet!
@ Daniel: Thanks, man. I cant imagine why, but thanks.
