Now I have mentioned previously on this show but I have to say that that I love the work of Terry Prachett. His is the Book the Mort series is from. I was sad to hear that he was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. In his Bio he says that his one fears is that someone will find out how much fun he is having writing and make him stop. I think some one found out.

Well winter is here. And it looks like it will be a good one. Now I expect at this time of the year that there will be snow, but for the past few years it’s been a light snow that melts away and we get hit hard around the New Year. I don’t think so this year. It came in thick and fast and caught a lot of people off guard. Including me. I forgot that on the last big storm last year I broke the snow float. I said Oh I’ll have plenty of time to get a new one before the next storm. Ooops. Oh well I’ll have plenty of time to get a new one before the next snow storm.
I couldn’t belive it when I heard that on the first day of the snow there was 28 traffic accidents. 28. How does that happen? Really were Subariens. Driving in snowy conditions is in our blood. True I have skidded out in winter conditions; three times, but I was able to control it and there was no accident. That is some thing I take pride in. but 28 accidents. What happened to people’s driving skills? A friend at work thinks it’s because of an inflow of new residents from Toronto. I can believe that. I’ve been in T.O in the winter. They do not change there driving skills, and that is the big thing to remember. Driving in winter is a lot different then in summer.

I sent a Special song out to my Friend Nancy.

It was I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas. There was a bit of in-joke behind me sending this out to here. (Which I am not going to tell you. I mean that’s what an in-joke is all about isn’t it?) Any way she wasn’t listening in and missed it. I guess I was a little paranoid that that would be the situation so I down loaded it to my MP3 and brought it into work. Well it was a rough shift and she looked like she needed a cheering up so I grabbed my player and gave her the ears. She listened and then she laughed. And then she laughed some more. I think she needed that.

Well that’s that for now.

Don’t forget there is still time to vote for the And Now Show http://www.cklu.ca/ for our lighteners choice awards

Until next time have fun and take care of each other.

Here comes Santa Clause

Tract list

Mort Part 3
Steve Martin / What is Christmas / SNL
Vince Guaraldi Trio /Christmas Time is Here / A Charlie Brown Christmas

Not a big Tract list today, because Saturday was the Santa Clause parade.
For close to ten years I have been helping my Mother with the clowns at the Santa Parade and it’s been a blast.

This year was my Mom’s last year, my Dad thinks that last year should have been her last year, but she stuck it in for one more year but now it’s someone elses problem now. I wonder what the committee is going to do.

Mom said they told here that the had talked with a woman who said that she would like to take over and that she would help get things together (which makes sense to learn what needs to be done from the people who know before you take over) but she never showed up. Next year should be an interesting show. I bet they call on Mom to do it again.

I just hope they get someone who knows what there doing with the banners. We lost half our volunteers to the banners because they didn’t get any one.

And don’t get me started on how the committee treated my Dad. Poppa had been there Santa of over ten years, you would think that they would show him a little more respect then hand out his position out from under him ( to someone mind you that didn’t even have his own beard)

Still every one I’ve talked to who watched the parade said that it was fun and the volunteers said they are looking forward to next year and I guess that’s all that madders. That the people of Sudbury had a good time.

Mission complete.

I feel better now.

I always look forword to my monthly visits with Natalie at Bertolo’s Hommeade Foods (Down town across from the ‘Y’) and this month she had something good. She made two incredible cheese balls.

They were easy, coulourfull, and delicious. I think it was one ofour best shows. And whad did I do? I droped my recorder midway through. I thought It was all working fine, but something was wrong and I am missing half of the show.

Well I’ll see Natalie soon and post a copy of the resipie here.

AND NOW . . . the news.

Here is some of the strange stuff that’s going on out there:

Donna and Joel Brinkle of Deltona, Fla., raised a family and held respectable jobs until, in the 1990s, they declared themselves a sovereign nation and stopped paying taxes. Subsequently, the county took their home, and they now appear to be living on the handouts of their son and their church, but they have become irritations by filing property liens against government officials (including, once, President Clinton) who fail to recognize their independent authority. Once, they tried to buy a $700,000 house with a "money order" drawn on their home-made currency. Even though the Brinkles' game plan has failed on every single point (and Joel even did some jail time), the couple remains chipper, according to an October Orlando Sentinel report, certain that some higher official will soon vindicate them. [Orlando Sentinel, 10-14-08]

Unlike their American counterparts, debt collectors in Spain are legally allowed to humiliate deadbeats in front of relatives and neighbors, and are thus quite successful, according to an October Wall Street Journal dispatch from Madrid. One collector's employees make flamboyant house calls in "top hat and tails" and another's are dressed as Franciscan friars, and yet another collector sends bagpipe players to announce the debt to the entire neighborhood. One debtor hurriedly paid off his daughter's wedding tab when the collector found the ceremony's guest list and began billing each attendee for his or her "share" of the debt. [Wall Street Journal, 10-11-08

In August, as Duke University's football team was preparing for the kickoff against James Madison University in Durham, N.C., two men parachuted into the stadium with the game ball. That was impressive, but they were actually supposed to have delivered the game ball to the stadium in Chapel Hill, 10 miles away, where North Carolina was hosting McNeese State. [Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 8-30-08

What started as a "strong-arm" street robbery in Warren, Mich., in October, ended when the victim turned out to be stronger than the perp. When it was over, the victim had gotten his money back, plus $30 of the mugger's as the man fled, according to a police report in the Macomb Daily. [Macomb Daily, 10-9-08]

A plumbing error in October at the annual Grape Festival in Marino, Italy, stymied the traditional hook-up in which white wine cascades through the famous fountains in the center of town. Instead, water continued to run in the fountains, but "10 to 12" nearby homeowners must have thought it glorious divine intervention, briefly, when they opened their taps and found white wine flowing freely. [BBC News, 10-8-08]

Finally don’t forget that on the 11^th it’s Remembrance Day so on the 11^th hour remember them.

Sorry about the late posting, but I needed to wait until I got some film developed so I could scan them in. You see I don’t use a digital camera, I use to, but it died on me so I went back to my old manual and to tell the truth I find it more dependable then digital. Mind you I miss the convenience of being able to but pictures strait into my computer, the quality of the pictures are better with my Pentax.

But I digress

I hope every body had a grand Halloween. Was the Great Pumpkin good to you all?

How about the 'Grand' Pumpkin?

I had some fun I went to Little Montréal’s here in Sudbury and saw the Trixx. There good. I’m hopping to get to play some of there tunes soon. One thing that got me was the lack of costumes I saw.

I really didn’t see anything until late around eleven I think, at the bar. But I didn’t see any kids and I’ve been hearing the same from people at work. Their are fewer and fewer trick or treaters going out there. I guess parents are just too scared to send there kids out at night. Which is a shame.

I sent out a special song for my friend Chinelo for obvious reasons. She was the only server to dress up at work on Friday.

We had a Pumpkin carving contest and only a few people wanted to participate. I love carving Jack O'Lanterns. This year I did something different. Insted of a pumkin I used a hubbard squash. I was at the farmers market and at on of the stans they has these MASSIVE squashes and I thought to myself that one of those would look really cool as a Jack O'Lantern. What so you think?

Saturday night was also time to set you’re your clock’s back and hour.

We caught a few people at work with that. I chastised them on the fact that if they had just tuned in they wouldn’t be in this mess. Still better to be early then late.

I wonder how many across Sudbury came into work early because they didn’t pay attention to the time shift.?

Don’t forget to tune in this Saturday when We will have another edition of K.I.S.(s) in the Kitchen.
