Radio Stations

I am sick of the "talk" on Memphis radio stations. (Oklahoma City was the same way.)

When I interviewed out here, I loved the music on the radio stations. I DIDN"T realize that I wasn't listening early in the morning and they all have the crude "talking heads", who apparently have an overly large opinion of themselves and feel all their listerners are 2nd graders who like potty talk, long laugher and rude noises.

Thank goodness for NPR, IPOD's and XM satellite radio!

The change is weather is confirming that winter is coming! The leaves on the trees are falling off, and the bare limbs are starting to show.

I get a chill when I think that Spring is some time away and even the "shortest day of the year" is over a month away, so it will get dark earlier and earlier for at least a month. Out here, it gets dark earlier than Oklahoma City, about an hour earlier. I get used to it, but it doesn't mean I have to like it! I do like the fact that it gets light an hour earlier.

I am now starting to yearn for Spring and the new leaves, grass and flowers. At least the holiday season is always nice. I like the holiday music, the gathering with family and friends etc. I still don't like buying gifts (well, I LOVE buying the right gift, but the right gift is hard to find and I get too worried about buying the right gift. Fortuately, Aliene understands, and my family is resigned to it.)

The season is still a novelty. I get really tired of it around February and usually want to take a vacation somewhere warm and sunny. One of these years I will do that!

Weather (again)

This will teach me to brag about the nice weather!

The temperature this morning was 37 degrees, still not bad for November 16! The storms you may have heard of yesterday did include a lot of wind and rain, with some hail, but did little damage in this area.

Weather

It has been beautiful weather the past few weeks. This week, the temperature was 83 degrees a few days! Even when the temperature is in the 40-50 degree area, it still feels warm enough to walk in shorts etc.

Aliene and I are starting to plan where to put things in our house! It is taking shape nicely and we are really looking forward to moving in, but not necessarily to moving.

New House about ready!

We were advised this week that our house may be ready for a "walk through" on November 21, and closing on November 29, 2005!

The house now has some of the flooring (tile) down, the driveway is completely in (with some landscaping) and it is really starting to look like a house!

We are excited, although slightly dreading having to move again. However, we will have over a month to move, which will be nice.
