Sunburn and Highland Cows

So the highlight of me week was going to the local Highland games with my friend Doreen. This is the day when all the people in the area with just a hint of Celtic in them thinks its ok to wear a kilt. Some of those legs shouldn't see the light of day. They had a nice selection of vendors this year,the only odd one was Mi meme Amour jewerly...Kinda was out of place with all the lace and cotton and Mc,Mac,Fitzs and O's. they had the people trying to relive the days of the middle ages. Live like them and all. Doreen said these people get way to into it...make their own swords and clothes and kill the food the old way....(drive thru thank you)

The games part of this was guys tossing telephone poles or trying to throw bags of sand over a high bar aka caber toss and haggis hurl..

Saw some really cute outfits for the girls but these people want so much for them but this is how they make a living.

Walked around looking at all the stuff, its gone from all the nations of Celts to now just the Scottish. what happen to Welsh as my friend Gwen ask and the Irish. I being the good irish boy drank my share of beer and didn't notice until later that my irish skin was turning a beautiful red colour.

After the fun of that I could just sit at home so when I thought I could drive I went down to the Casino Rock Island. I was doing ok until this lady sat next to me and put a curse on me. she rubbed her machine and cooed to it something like amour de something and then turned to me and called me a loser. three years of spanish and I know when I'm being insulted or cursed. So I left there $40 poorer.

Today I was awoken to someone killing a cat on my front lawn. When I ran out to stop them found a trio of bagpipers tuning? up for the church service across the street.

Called the store today to see what time Nancy had lunch. Kerensa answered. I was so nice...what are you doing there? Her and Nancy traded weekends. She tells me that I'm not walking into any problems...ha

So Tuesday its back to work....

Viewing Habits

I watch soaps.....there it's out in the open....Serials,the stories,weepers, daytime dramas, what ever you want to call them. I watch proudly. First memory of them was watching with my mother. The Edge of Night, Love is a Many Spendor Think and Dark Shadows. Watched all the big ones on CBS and NBC growing up. As The World Turns, Guidling Light,The Doctors,Another World,Somerset

Now I continue by watching One Life to Live. I've been a faithful viewer since 1977. Now I'm hooked on British soaps. Emmerdale,Coronation Street,Family Affair and Hollyoaks. So I'll be talking about what's going on in soapland and how if I was in charge they would be so much better
