Weather, Socialist TV and a Dog Sporting a Ponderosa Name

If you try to find the second part of the Soundstage Stevie Nicks concert on Socialist TV (aka PBS, MPB, etc.) tonight, well, good luck. Why would someone show part one and not follow with part two on the next show? Nevermind. Forget the question. Trying to understand that bunch in Jackson that schedule Socialist TV will lead one's mind to the edge of utter chaos. Next thing you know local weatherhog stormtrooper reporter Dick Rice will be interrupting PBS every 5 minutes to tell us about the bad weather in Texas. Poor old fellow, he may not even have a clue he's in the northeast corner of Mississippi. Why the local affiliates feel it necessary to let him run rampant spoiling the few good programs on TV is beyond me. Probably aren't aware that The Weather Channel, computers and windows (those that are placed strategically in walls) exist. Life is just full of the mysterious.

I am following an interesting family development on the internet. It involves a dog named Hoss and his humans. Hoss has about 8 months on this planet and resides with my brother and family. Best I've done in the pet department in the past 20 years or so was follow the antics of Arnold the Possum as he rampaged through the neighborhood performing terror strikes on local animals. Anyway, Arnold is gone. He lived a long life for a possum.

Now I sometimes enjoy sitting on the veranda watching my neighbor's dog, Duke. He's a cool boxer. Duke is a good looking fellow, well mannered and protecting all of us. Hoss is a boxer too. Haven't met him in person. Read about him at Shadow Ridge Boxers. Nice website with a plethora of boxer information.

Time to continue battling with the beach house. Moving furniture and cleaning house sucks.
