Creepy

It's getting hot here in Jacksonville. Pretty much above 90 all week long. That's not what is creepin' me out. It's the ice cream trucks that are playing "Whose afraid of the big bad wolf..." in the casio-esque way. Does it indicate that the driver is someone the children should be weary of? Am I just putting my prejudgements of knowledge of the song towards the driver? Is that really what they used to play when I was a little girl? I don't remember it sounding that creepy. Of course it wasn't all casio-click track-chord-drum-thang either. It's probably a good thing I don't have any children, I would be one of those mom's that I roll my eyes at. Yes, I'd be out there saying "Aquanita (A name I heard in the 90's when I was Brother Bear, of the Bernstein Bears) get away from that truck, you don't know that man!"

    I rank ice cream truck drivers right up there with circus clowns.

    Creepy.

    Hey, on another note, I heard about a small plan crash on Jax Beach! WOW!

    Get the camera phone out and take a pic of the creepy ice cream truck...

    I like the ice cream truck in our neighborhood...but, yeah, ANY children's treat-machine that pumps out "Big Bad Wolf" is, by definition, creepy. *shivers!*

    Our ice cream truck (known in this house as the music man) is driven by the mom of one of Mack's classmates, so we know she's safe.

    Oddly she hasn't really been around yet this year and we've been having an unusually warm June. We did see a truck come thru the other day but it wasn't here and it was literally doing 30 MPH thru the sub.

    We get "The Entertainer" in a very tinny mechanical way.

BSG Comes to an end?!

I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
