What the...

There’s a wind advisory today, which explains the italics. It’s difficult for letters to stand upright in the face of this sort of gale. The gusts will continue through the evening, eventually pushing the entire Metro area .000025 inches to the northeast. Adjust your

Ah. Temporary respite. Adjust your GPS locators accordingly.

Keeping a pool clean or an umbrella table upright in this wind is virtually impossible. So I've resigned myself to constantly sweeping out the pool while in it and watching the table so it doesn't fly over the fence and damage the cars.

I'm flicking through the channels last night, as men tend to do, and I come across a new show on CBS called "Swingtown". I pushed the info button and found out this was a show set in 1976...

Aside: Why is it all the shows not set in present day are set in the 60's or 70's? I mean come on. There were other eras that could be used for TV don't you think? The baby boomers need to retire and get out of the way. They look at the 60's and 70's as a time of nirvana where everyone lived free and did what was good for them. If it feels good do it, that's their mantra. Actually, I guess it was Sex Drugs and Rock and Roll which is pretty much the same thing as if it feels good do it. When are they going to realize they, the baby boomers and their ilk, were the worst thing to ever happen to this country. It is no coincidence when they started to marginalize the traditional family and its values the abortion, divorce and crime rate all started to increase. I digress. End of aside.

in an upscale Chicago suburb. A family moves in from somewhere, I don't remember, and they are pursued by another couple to become swingers. Swingers!?! I turned to Kelly and said "What the?" Shouldn't that be something that should be on cable not network television?

It is becoming much more evident that it's time to unplug the boob tube, except during UCLA football games, and start attending more dance performances. I hear there is an up and comer named Reagan who must be seen to be believed.

A temporary respite is a short break. In this scenario, it's windy, windy, windy then the wind stops. Then after a short while it gets windy again. The time between the winds is the temporary respite.
