1 Did bills yesterday.
2 If you are anything like me, you want to jump off the hood of a Buick after doing bills.
3 I don't like automatic payments.
4 I'm old, remember?
5 I don't want anyone to have easy access to my wallet.
6 Me and Yoda. Set in our ways are we.

10 Moving On, Part One: God, go ahead and get old.
11 Just don't get crotchety.
12 Hard not to when half the things you buy don't work.
13 The latest? The sound bar I bought I think last Christmas.
14 Could be user, mind you. It just stopped working last night. My laptop cable this morning. No charge. 6% left. Someone throw me a life saber.
15 Maybe if I re-boot my life...
16 Moving On, Part Two: I got home early last night and saw that some channel or other was playing the very fun Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I hit the sound bar, because you can't have the Bacharach score sounding like it is coming from a tin can. For the record, it didn't work at first, but later in the movie it worked again. So technically, it isn't broken. Unless you consider inconsistent and broken the same thing. Some of us curmudges do.
17 That film score traveled with me since I first saw the film, and it has always accompanied beach trips in Tahoe. My sister Linda had the sound track on a CD, and my job was walk behind her while she filmed our Tahoe vacations. Pretty brilliant. So there was always a Butch Cassidy soundtrack/Tahoe connection. Gotta love it.
18 Watching a lot of the scenery stuff in the film, I wondered if Tahoe might have been one of the locations, especially in the classic jumping scene.
19 The scenes looked exactly like Tahoe to me, more than I had remembered.
20 It was not filmed in Tahoe, to my disappointment.
21 It was filmed in the following places: Durango,Colorado; New Mexico, and Zion National Park in Utah, with Bolivia scenes in Cuernavaca and Taxco in Mexico.

23 That's probably more info than you cared to know.
24 Moving On, Part the Thoid: I awakened this morning thinking I would reveal who I intend to vote for.
25 The trouble is, I think it is clear as day who should be in there. We have a candidate who is consistent, honest, and able.
26 Fortunately, I received an email from me old friend and confidante Rosi Hollinbeck. I read it before having my one cup of coffee. It lit up the morning.
27 I'm going to attempt to share it with you this morning.
28 Hoping this transition is a cut/paste, and won't knock everything into wonkiness.
29 Here go:
30 Ha! Houston...we have contact! That never happens. It usually throws the fonts every which way. Yard sale. Thanks, Rosi!
31 I don't know where it came from, so I just want it known that neither Rosi nor I am the author. Are the author. How do you phrase that one in a hurry? With nor and or, it goes with the subject that is closer to the verb. Correct construction: am. Knowledge for college.
32 Moving On, Part Four: It scares me a bit that I have tons of teachers reading this nonsense.
33 It began as a piece of paper hung up in the hallway of the Performing Arts building at YB. I began writing it and posting each day in 1996, during our run of Guys and Dolls.
34 I don't think I ever missed a day, even if I was absent. I would get to the school and hang it up.
35 It began as a notification on where we were to meet: band in band room, actors out on stage, etc.
36 That got boring rather quickly, so I started adding the gags and stuff.
37 I like to claim that the Daily News was the world's first blog.
38 I did have this online over ten years ago, but Geocities became Alderon. So much for posterity.
39 I decided to continue writing it, just because.
40 I love sharing, but I'm always worried about the writing. English teachers far better than I read this. And I've just gotten better at editing this year.
41 Deadlines. I swear.
42 One nice thing about all this: I control the deadlines.
43 I've reached it.
44 I gottago. I'd have more, but my desktop just buffered for around a gazillion hours.
45 See you again.
46 Have a GREAT day.
47 Peace.

29 Here go:
If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates.
~Jay Leno~
The problem with political jokes is they get elected.
~Henry Cate, VII~
We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office
~Aesop~
If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these State of the Union speeches, there wouldn't be any inducement to go to heaven.
~Will Rogers~
Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.
~Nikita Khrushchev~
When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it.
~Clarence Darrow~
Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel.
~John Quinton~
Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you.
~Author unknown~
Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.
~Oscar Ameringer~
I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them.
~Adlai Stevenson, 1952~
A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.
~ Tex Guinan~
I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
~Charles de Gaulle~
Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks.
~Doug Larson~
There ought to be one day -- just one -- when there is open season on Congressmen.
~Will Rogers
