The Blogosphere Starts Now

In response to Reck who wrote -
> … What is it you fear about the *TRUTH*??!!…

2 + 2 = 4.

Are you happy now, Reck???? (StanNote: see the ‘This is dedicated to President elect Barack Obama’ thread for the context on this)

Those are the hur(andhim)ricanes I’ve experienced. This time I don’t think the eye “passedover” us.

Our structures are ok, not enough damage to complain (or “whine”) about. Just some fence damage being our most major damage.

But the being without power thing sucks. I’ve been spending my time thinking about my first priority, which was to get my mom into a place with power/airconditioning and since I managed that today, my thoughts are free to blog! So here I am!!!! In the dark, no airconditioning, no refrigeration, no lights (except candle and flashlight), no hot bath or shower (all electric apartment), but I’m still blogging on a laptop (recharging it in my car … ) on dial-up !!!!

Ain’t technology great. Speaking of which, a couple of comments (one from a liberal, one from a conservative) ended up in my so-called “moderation” queue, I’ve passed those. I don’t know Y either of those ended up in so-called “moderation”. I may respond to the comments that I’ll respond to later tonight, maybe tommorow.

So don’t worry about me, I’m fine. This is just what we expect every 25 years living in Houston.

This is dedicated to TBSN regular Nestor (‘The Irish Rican’) -

“Everyday I get in the queue
To get on the bus that takes me to you”

This is dedicated to my dad who died yesterday morning (no condolences nec. as I will consider “unspoken words were understood” (Red Hots), and don’t feel bad about it, he was pretty much suffering for the last year (longer, really)), a cover of the Dixie Chick’s incredible tune.

This particular cover chosen because on YouTube it’s titled ” … live in New York” where my dad was born (the Bronx) …

This is dedicated to TBSN regular Linda on her special day, click here.

(StanNote: non-Rhapsody subscribers, are you only getting 30 seconds of this? They used to give 25 freeplays a month, have they stopped that?)

And since it seems to be available in concert form now, here’s this (dedicated to Bill Bennet and Charles Barkley (and Doc Steech? ) ?) -

Well, the engine is, upgraded to Wordpress 2.5. I think I’ve gotten all the bugs out, but let me know if you experience any new problems with the blog.

I started another blog on the official Sam Seder Show’s website, here -

You need to get a Gravitar account and set a Gravitar to your e-mail address for that account.  Do it here.  Use this thread to test your Gravitar.

Hattip to Hill Country Gal for the info I needed to get it working and for allowing me to use her blog to do some testing!

I just want to publicly thank the “BleckHeads” ™  (Nestor is one of those, the other’s haven’t shown their faces here since the official opening of this blog) here for their help in BETA testing this blog.  You have them (‘Us and Them’) to thank for not having to wait to be approved to be able to comment here (it was something we caught in the BETA testing.)
