I wonder why they introduce themselves for commercials.

Unless you're Billy Mays (R.I.P.) no one cares.

while we're at it...political commercials

hi, here's why I'm good in a quick easy to digest 30 seconds...or worse.

Here's why the other guy will eat your babies and steal your money in 30 seconds.

also on those weight loss infomercials they will always have these people.

"if it worked on me it will work on anyone"

"I was a skeptic at first but wow"

"It changed my life"

and that pro talking about how they use it to keep in shape.

Those Toyota eavesdropping commercials...they can call it whatever they want, either way its bad acting, and a really dumb idea for an advertising campaign.

Local commercials tend to suck, but they at least have a certain charm about them, I usually enjoy them (always good to see local businesses doing well)

HeadON Apply directly to the forehead

(hey, it worked)

My car finally decided to torture me.

My battery is nering death (will need to be replaced soon)

and now

a flat tire...

and there's nothing I can do about it today (for various reasons)

right before the Rush concert tomorrow....

For the start of Meteorological fall it feels like mid July.

89F right now, hazy hot and humid.

and tomorrow, for all the Rush fans coming to my neck of the woods

91F, hazy, hot and humid, with a slight chance (20%) of a thunderstorm (seems to come and go from the forecast). Though on the blacktop of the Fair, it will feel hotter.

But on Saturday, it will be almost 30F less, high of 65F, with a 40% chance of rain...oh and we're keeping an eye on Hurricane Earl (though it shouldn't affect us much)

Happy Fall!

The Spirit of Radio on TK99 (classic rock station, 99.5FM from where I am, though they have different frequencies for various locations)

I've only heard the main staples on there (Tom Sawyer, Limelight, The Spirit of Radio and Freewill...nothing else, though they do have New World Man in their library, but it only plays when they go through it all)

If you want Rush on the radio, do NOT come to Central New York.

considering that they're be here in less than a week, I expected more (then again, they didn't do much Aerosmith, Blue Oyster Cult, Kansas of Styx so...all of them are playing, or already played at the Fair this year)

When people found out that I was going to a Rush concert solo the first comment was how weird it was (from almost everyone).

Especially since they're coming here early next month.

A comfortable 70F (forecasted high in the mid 70s)

and partly cloudy

About time we had a nice day. Not hot, muggy, rainy or snowy (never know, it could snow at any time here)

Tomorrow is supposed to be the same

hazy, hot, humid, with a chance of thunderstorms....booo

A humid 91F with partly cloudy skies and a chance of isolated Thunderstorms.

Tomorrow, 87F same as today (better chance of storms)

but then

Friday and Saturday

High 77F with low humidity.

after that it's a crapshoot, but the trend is about the same as it's been. normal with a couple hot days and a few days a bit lower than normal high with storms possible a few days. Hehe, some forecast.

and now

a humid 75F and it's so hazy I can't tell if there's clouds up there or if it's so moist that the sky takes on a blueish white tone.

I can't seem to care either way.

either that housewives show or that Jersey Shore show.

Those shows used to annoy me, but I kind of stopped caring about them. If you watch them, fine if not...ok. I think I got fed up to a point where the bubble burst and there's nothing there.

which kind of annoys me since I have nothing to add to this topic (but I post anyway, go figure).

but then again, I live under a rock when it comes to these things. I didn't even know that this show existed, though I knew of Jersey Shore.

It's a comfortable rock, a bit too comfortable.

Also are people really interested in the show, or are they just watching for the novelty of it (for lack of a better term)?

for some reason my left shoulder felt like someone popped it out today.

The Celestial Voices part of A Saucerful of Secrets by Pink Floyd (Pompeii version).

...for that one time, then I got stares, now I just use one of those default ones.

Music City Miracle.

forward pass or not someone should have made a tackle. )

Made worse by the fact that was the Bills last playoff game. Still seeing the Titans lost the Superbowl by a yard was somewhat satisfying at the time.

I was too young to remember the Superbowls.

I'm growing to really like them.

Taking a while (I'm up to Vitalogy, which is fantastic)

I'm not entirely sure what I just read.

I'll come back in another 2 years and try again.

Middletown Dreams and Marathon.

nothing yet, but I'm not concerned.

I do admit to eagerly checking to see if it's here, but that's about it.

LG Chocolate 3.

got it last year, lasted longer the the phone it replaced...which lasted exactly 30 days (the screen started to malfunction), just at the end of the Verizon/Walmart replacement thing (yes, I got it at Walmart).

After weeks of hot, we are now back to cloudy cool Syracuse.

well, maybe not so cloudy, it's been unusually sunny lately (except this past weekend)

...nice while it lasted. If it's going to be like last year then we will have a warm Spring followed by a cool Summer.

I'm still wearing shorts though.

oh, the numbers...

today,'s forecasted high is 69F, and partly cloudy, with temps slowly climbing through the week to 82F by the weekend.

Kind of like my vacation back in May, where it snowed the first day....Syracuse, where snow can happen any time except July, which if I remember correctly (I probably don't) is the only month without any recorded snow.

Finding My Way seems like it would fit best with the Time Machine theme.

being the first song on the first album and all (and one of the best from said album)
