UFO's and The Digital Transition!

I’m ready!  I am a believer with a digital receiver!

 

Charlie Layno is The Techno babble guy for My Fox WGHP TV 8 in The Triad Region of NC. He is keeping us up to date on the upcoming digital transition in February 2008.  The Transition makes me wonder if all of our previous attempts to send analog messages into outer space are useless now.  Will we keep analog receivers for alien messages alive or destroy them?  It also makes me wonder that if we had the proper hardware or software we may have already made contact.  I think an evolved form of laser fiber optics will transmit and receive messages in the future.  This technology may even enable us to get beamed up and down and all around the universe.  What travels faster through space, a laser light or a digital signal?

Fox 8 WGHP Van Denton’s Weather Kids is a priceless show.  I have seen the Van Denton  Weather Kid Hall of Fame.

I  don’t understand why I can’t find a Van Denton Weather Kid Video Archive.  I saved a few this year.  Van Denton’s Weather Kids followed with a visit to the participating school would really generate more viewers and spread goodwill.

 

Here are my presents to a few of Van’s Weather Kids.  If you don’t like to use Pando e-mail me at the address in my bio.  I cut the weather kids in a large avi format and a smaller wmv format.

 

Be sure to catch many Caption This episodes here.

I labeled them so bloggers that got mentioned and missed the show would be able to save the file.

 

I cut the Weather Kids and Caption This without a sub-title.  The downloads will be good for 59 more days from:

Season's Beatings!

 

Season’s Beatings, Happy Howlidays and Merry Christmas to MyFox WGHP Bloggers!

Many of you mentioned you missed the web team posting the Caption This series results on the web page.  If they are posting them again please aim me in the right direction.  I saved several of them and cut them for you.

 

I’d like to thank The Web Team and The News Team for getting us involved in “The News”!

 

I have a few Van Denton Weather Kids on hold.  I also have just a couple of blurbs where the News Team has read our responses on different subjects.  I will get to them before next Christmas, I hope.

 

I recorded them in avi form.  The files are large but the majority of the videos are of good quality. Some were subject to operator error on my part or bad reception on Road Runner’s Part.  I loaded them despite the video quality just in case someone likes saving things like I do.

 

These files will expire for download 60 days from:

12/19/2008 6:26:56 AM

Just click on the widgets.

If you don’t want to use Pando then e-mail me at the address in my Bio and we can make other arrangements to get the file to you.

 

Season’s Beatings Happy Howlidays and Merry Christmas!

 Pre-Season Tease!

 

In celebration of  Winston-Salem's  announcement of The Baseball Team's new name, The Dots will be with The Dash at the next press conference for an exhibition game.  At The Ceremony Practice the dugouts were emptied because one of The Dots called one of The Dashes a Dah!  Then one of The Dash called one of The Dots a Dit! Then there was a huge debate whether more than one Dash would be spelled on the outfield walls as The Dashes or just plain, The Dash.  Team members have racked their brains introducing themselves.

We are The Dash!

We are The Dashes!

The Dash Rules!

The Dashes Rule!

Because the word We when speaking of more than one person is plural, We is The Dash, has been ruled out.  When WE = one team, The Dash, then We is The Dash is appropriate!

Fans and base coaches have been practicing Morse Code so they can send insults to the opposing team and referees by tapping on the bleachers in unison!  Miniature bat sales are expected to increase as they make good noise on the wooden bleachers!

One old timer was over heard at The Club’s local bar with his head in his hands:

We are a Baseball Team, not a box of SOAP!

 

Personally I think it is a subliminal cry for help!

I imagine some of us are holding our heads in our hands, some of us have an uncontrollable grin on their face and some of us are moving to the music and getting ready for the ride!

I have had the great privilege to be backstage with some prophets and musicians!  I sat next to Gretchen on the stage, held her hand and talked while The Jefferson Starship played!  Gretchen is Papa John Creach's wife of Jefferson Starship. In 1989-90 she told me about how he has had the most terrible case of arthritis. He stands backstage motionless, then comes out to play his one song and just burns up the fiddle. Gretchen told me Paul Kantner was a real prophet. Man I wish I had a digital then. I managed to get someone to shoot a shot of myself, The Drummer "Prairie" and the lead singer. The drummer was impressed because Bill Scott had taught me about triplets!! For the life of me I can't remember the female lead singer’s name, but she is the daughter of Grace Slick's friend (or something like that) !!  This may even be China Slick, Grace's Daughter.

I am looking for someone with a mac and some time on their hands to help Beta Test an up and coming music application that notifies users of their favorite artists in concert. There is no pay.  This is a labor of love.  This new application will work with MySpace Facebook your media library and others. If there are any pc users out there that want to give it a try please send me an e-mail.

This is a time lapse of my backyard from Friday, October 10, 2008, 5:43:06 PM to

My sweet neighbor Megan McDaniels, guarded by her Big Brother Justin, tells me an interesting story about eyeballs! 

 

 

 

Bob, 

No matter what happens on Election Day 2008 tomorrow I want to say thanks for your extraordinary efforts to filter out fact from fiction during this marathon.  I enjoy your reporting style.  I especially like the way you pull the commercials right off the screen and separate fact from fiction.  I don’t usually make an appearance in The Political section.  I leave politics to my Nephew, My Wife and informative political analysts like Bob Buckley!

Sincerely,

Voting at The Arcadia Community Center was painless. It took my wife and I five minutes tops.  There were only a few people in line ahead of us.  We voted around 10:30am 11/04/08. In the photo above Regina helps my wife Vera crank up the machine.

This last weekend I took a trip to the mountains to catch the fall colors. I must have taken the wrong road or visited the wrong mountain. The mountains were as beautiful as ever but this mountain road was different from the rest. The colors remained green. As I cleared the top of the pass I swore I saw Van Denton taking pictures of his family. I thought I’d get out at the bottom of the hill and flag him down for an autograph and to find out why this patch of mountain was different. I filmed his ride down the winding hill.

We Found One!

 

My wife and I have been searching for a REAL Butcher Shop forever!  Since Wal-Mart came to Peter's Creek Parkway we noticed that The Lowe’s Food staff on Peter's Creek Parkway  has been replaced 2 or 3 times over.  Oscar the butcher from Lowes from Czechoslovakia has been long gone.  The meat sold is not bad at Lowe’s but it is all pre cut and pre packaged now.  I had a conversation with one of the new guys in the meat department at Lowes. His eyes got huge when 2 rib-eyes cost $30.00.  He said are you sure you want to pay that much!  I said yes and I learned that Lowe’s barely pays their help enough so even the guys in the meat department can’t afford the steaks.  He told me the management keeps promising a company party where steaks will be served but it never happens.

Well we SCORED!  Off of I-40 at 150 or Peter’s Creek Parkway, head towards Salisbury.  Pass Lowes, pass Food Lion.  Just before Piedmont Fence next to Howie’s Subs on the left you will see it!  Give these guys your support!  I watched The Butcher cut some Rib Eyes off the rack to my liking for less than the pre-cut at Lowes.  I got more meat too!  I chose The Angus!

I copied their business cards and package deals and posted them in Shane K Smith’s photo Album.

We are an old fashioned butcher shop with small town service. We will prepare your meats to your and your family's specifications.

We offer local, fresh, homemade breads, deli trays, and gift baskets for all your party and catering needs.
