My Multiple Personalities All in One Place
This blog costs only a handful of dollars a year to maintain. $15 a year to renew the domain name and a out $120 a year to host it on a server somewhere in cyberspace.
I have been maintaining it for years and I only post on it six or seven times a year. I have so very few followers – this thing will go days on end without a single page view. So why do I do it? [Read more...]
Can I upload directly from Mr. iPhone 5 to my blog? Can I dictate into my fancy-schmancy iPhone five and have whatever this little microphone is it bounces up and down interpret me. Let’s find out, this could be very cool. Oh, this little microphone is too damn cool!
It really was my intent to do this daily. We’re too damn busy preparing for our Hawaiian vacation. Gotta work four weeks straight to take two weeks off.
I am posting this from my iPhone 5 again – more as a test to see if I can do this as a place to dump pics and vids from Hawaii. Looks like it’s going to work. Wonder if they have 4G there?
Aloha… Merry Christmas!
I said on my birthday – 12/9 – that I would post everyday for a year. I broke that promise on Day 1. Now I’m back, but with a very small post from my shiny new iPhone. Let’s see how this little app works.
The following will be voice dictation…
Testing 123 this is a test of the voice dictation gadget on my shiny new iPhone I’m feeding this directly into the WordPress app to think I could blog driving down the road this concludes this test
Well, the punctuation sucks, but it holds some promise. Have a nice day.
50. Celebrated that birthday today.
Remember when we were kids and how we viewed someone who was 50. Ancient. Funny, now I have arrived there myself.
I have so many dreams and goals I wanted to accomplish by this birthday. Some I have attained and on others I have fallen woefully short.
One of those goals is to blog – everyday – during my 50th year.
Today’s entry will be short in that I am dog tired. But it is an entry nonetheless.
Blog entry for Day 1 accomplished. We’ll pick up again here tomorrow.
Hmmmmm. The article indicates that county-by-county victories in Colorado mirrored the vote to legalize marijuana. Go figure.
Complete article HERE.
In the view of several political observers, Obama’s broad support may have played a big hand in the passage of Amendment 64, which legalized possession and use of up to an ounce of marijuana by people 21 and older.
Draw your own conclusions. The only thing surprising in this news item is the fact that the authors view Larimer County as a “swing” county.
Obama won all three of the heavily populated swing counties — Arapahoe, Jefferson and Larimer — that have become reliable predictors of the state’s results.
Come on, Larimer has been in the bag for the liberals for at least ten years. If anyone believes Larimer is a swing county, or for that matter – Colorado is a swing state – they have been enjoying some of the new found freedom offered by Amendment 64.
From Fox 31 yesterday – original story HERE.
Weirdos roam the earth right here in our backyard. Innocent homeowner is getting ready for bed. Hears a strange “hello” from his living room. Some random dude claims God sent him to marry homeowner’s daughter.
According to Larimer County Sheriff’s Office spokesman John Schulz, when he was questioned, the man told the homeowner he had been “sent by God to marry his daughter.”
It has been an especially long, hot summer in NoCo making our legendary, picture-perfect Colorado Autumn all-the-more welcome this year. As the days become shorter and the nights become crisper and longer, Colorado’s deciduous trees start thinking about a long winter’s nap. Well, they do not actually think. They’re trees and incapable of sentient activity.
Mother Nature does all the thinking and that thought process dictates that as there are fewer hours of daylight, production of chlorophyll inside this metaphorical tree will come to a halt. Simplistically, chlorophyll is what makes the leaves of our tree green. Once the green stops being manufactured, the carotenoids and anthocyanins begin to show their true colors, which are the brilliant reds, yellows and oranges so prevalent in our tree’s change of seasonal clothing.

I never thought I would feel out of place wearing pants. I went to college, was the class clown and I fully enjoyed my twenties; probably more than most. For crying out loud, I have been in the radio business for thirty years. I have been backstage at more than just a few concerts and have enjoyed my share of record label hospitality suites. But I never thought I would feel out of place wearing pants.
Then I went to the 36th Annual Longs Peak Scottish-Irish Highland Festival last weekend. Attending this event was NoCo50 Challenge No. 35. I was up for the event that annually makes Estes Park the Celtic Capital of North America. I was ready for the anticipated 80,000 attendees. I was ready for the Scottish, Irish and Welsh dancers, the Celtic rock, folk and traditional bands. I was ready for bagpipes and traditional food and drink. I just was not ready for all these dudes without pants. [Read more...]
As the NoCo50 Challenge has progressed, Sadie and I have become relative experts in attending festivals and events. We know what to expect. Vendors will sell merchandise ranging from arts and crafts to high-end furniture and electronics. There will be food vendors, thank goodness, because calories consumed at fairs and festivals do not count.
There will be live music, games for the kids and beer; generally served in a garden. There will be pop-up tents aplenty with all matter of treasure underneath. If you play your cards right, you may get a chiropractor to check the alignment of your spine for free. Will the wonders never cease? [Read more...]
