Random Observations…
TRANSITIONS This year we went from hot summer one day to cold weather the next. No fall, no colorful leaves…just green then brown. I miss autumn.
FOOTBALL UNIFORMS I thought the ugliest football uniforms on the planet were those gawd-awful green and yellow things the Oregon Ducks wear. But last night I changed my mind…it’s the maroon and orange (yuck!) uniforms of Virginia Tech. What’s with the one orange sleeve on a maroon jersey?
Update: 10/30/05 - Yesterday Florida wore their normal blue jerseys in the game with Georgia. Normal except they had one orange sleeve! Not as horrid as maroon and orange, but still ugly. Manufacturer must have had an overrun of orange left sleeves they were moving out cheap and thought no one would notice.
BRING IN THE CLONES All girls age 18 and under look, dress, talk, act, smell and feel like Britney Spears. OK, I made up the part about feel. Hey, a boy can dream, can’t he?
FAMILY FEATURES The more I see of Bush on TV these days, the more I realize he really does have facial features and expressions akin to a chimpanzee. Oh how I hate to insult a chimp like that!
CHANGE IS GOOD I am not a baseball fan…never was, never will be. Yet for some reason not understood, I was so happy that the World Series of MLB was not the Yankees and Red Sox again.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH I miss John Denver.
GASTRONOMY There are no better restauranteurs on the planet than the Regas family of Knoxville, TN. Their latest addition, Parkside Grille, is to die for. Wish they would open something in Nashville.
SPEAK NO EVIL It seems impossible for anyone in the media eye, especially in the world of sports, to even acknowledge that there are different races or skin colors without being roasted as politically incorrect and run out of town on the next bus.
FOREVER = 4 WEEKS One month ago we were told that gasoline prices would probably never fall below $3.00 per gallon. Today I saw several stations with posted prices of $2.27. Of course that was 30 miles up the road from where I had just filled up for $2.41.
FUNNIEST ONE LINER My wife ran away with my best friend, and I sure do miss him.
