Natural and unnatural disasters...some more snippets

Gargantuan monster that was over 600 miles across had been the infamous Ike the former hurricane, but no longer ... now just a mellow tropical storm with his wind blowing out of his blustery presence, and watery surging no more.
What a massive flooding mess he has left in his wake with much debris, but fortunately not too much destruction of life or limb. The count so far is four that is way too many deaths attributed to Ike, here in our US of A.

Texans are brave and strong and have much work ahead for their cleanup, which will be helped by many states including Florida, which has a standing agreement with them, and if we need them they will return the favor.

While human error, a train engineer was guilty of not stopping for a stop sign, and he confessed that he was responsible for the death of 23 so far in the head-on collision of the passenger and freight trains in California, just horrendous!

On a much lighter note, now onto other topics: Michael Phelps will be hosting the new season premier of Saturday Night Live tonight. I believe it’s the start of their 33 year. If I am correct they first premiered in 1975.

And this incredible athlete, Michael Phelps who’s a 23 year old swimming phenom, winner of an unprecedented 8 Gold Medals (threw that in for any possible people who read this that may be space aliens or had been living under a rock during the Beijing Olympics), this summer breaking too many records to count is going to do shtick?
I’m laughing out loud already!
Not to mention that his possible co-stars for the evening may be Senator Barack Obama, as himself, and possibly a cameo appearance by Tina Fey as you guessed it, Governor Sarah Palin, but this is only supposition, rumor and innuendo.
Gosh that sounds an awful lot like these last two years of political campaigning, déjà vu!
Which means you gotta watch to find out!
Should be a great time for all!

But sadly my body clock doe not always allow me to adhere to my entertainment needs or choices when they appear at 11:30 P.M. or even sometimes much earlier.

Ah the joys of old age, whoever said that old age was not for sissies didn’t know me at all. LOL
I’m a sissy and proud of it!
Gotta get that beauty sleep, or at least try real hard to.
Heaven knows I need all the help I can get.

Always be thankful to your family… for they made you who you are.
Which brings up another interesting point…so don’t criticize them because you are part of them, and you would be finding fault with yourself!
What do you think vicious cycle or pure nonsense?



Good night to all!
