“Good Morning America” - Columbus WI Style

.
Here is a link to the GMA show

Under the Big Top: A Life in the Circus


.
From for Daily Citizen

“Good Morning America” is scheduled to show its story about the Carson and Barnes Circus coming to Columbus Saturday morning.

The circus set up shop in Columbus’ Fireman’s Park for two shows on Aug. 13, as a fundraiser for the Columbus Fireman's Service Corp.

“Good Morning America” had chosen Columbus as a place to catch up with Carson and Barnes and tape a weekend segment on “the traditional American circus.”

“Good Morning America Weekend” airs on the ABC television network. Locally, it is scheduled to be seen on channel 27 in Madison from 7 to 8 a.m. on Saturday.

ooo - I like the word of the day - convivial. Fond of drinking and feasting. "Rachel opened a quart of beer for herself and things soon grew convivial". You go girl!!!

--------------------------

I hope everybody was up early to watch the U.S. bomb the moon. Too bad they really did not show anything! However - to me NASA control looked like some geeks bedroom and was very unimpressive. Seriously - I've seen better set ups at fantasy baseball drafts.

--------------------------

So I was just told I can not get the N1H1 (also called the hynee) flu shot because I'm like too old or something. HOWEVER - if I get pregnant I can get the shot so I'm working on that.

--------------------------

SIGH!!!!


MILO!!!!! We're relaxed ready to watch Survivor and have pushed Milo off the table and away from our water 3 or 4 times and he finally takes the hint. He is not welcomed drinking out of DJ's water glass.

So . . . . . he figures this is a fine place to sit!

MILO!!!
RUSSELL - PUSH HIM OFF.

OH - before I forget (again). That farm scene a few days ago. I talked to my canvas guy and with shipping and so forth an 8x12 Gallery Wrapped Canvas print will look awesome and will cost $50 (that is a bloggers special price - BTW). The same photo double matted and framed would cost probably a little more. Framing is so freaking expensive if you want matting and good glass and so forth.

This is a constant guilty feeling I have because I hate charging fair prices for something I love doing. It's like when I created websites for people. I would charge $200 when a REAL web designer would charger over $1000.

I have four projects I'm working on and all are getting good deals but I feel good and I'm pretty sure they will feel good with the finished work.

The Columbus Class of 65 will be getting something from me soon (well, not from ME actually).

I took this a few months ago and since I had nothing new to work on did a re-due of Nancy O's front porch.

I'm not sure if it is blogger or what but the colors seem muted when I uploaded this photo to blogger.

-------------------------------------

I forgot to mention this yesterday but MAN my driving skills are being tested. I was leaving work and was driving up Martin Luther King Blvd (there is no actual boulevard so I don't know why it's called a boulevard) when a woman caught my eye on the left side of the road. She was wearing heels and was walking like it was the first time EVER in heels. Sort of slouched with bent legs trying to balance and not break a heel.

It's not a pretty site my friends. And as I am glancing at her a parked car pulls out RIGHT in front of me. At the last second I see it and swerve but there is a huge bus now passing on my left so I have like 4 inches to squeeze my car into.

SHIT!!! I make it and stop at the light with my heart pounding AGAIN! The lady is on the phone jabbering away. So this is 3 times in the last month I've taken evasive action. A guy ran a stop sign 4 weeks ago and I had to turn INTO him to miss him (which would have been bad if he would have hit the brakes).

Come on bad drivers - BRING IT!!!
---------------------------
So like whatever you know, it is what it is, but anyway at the end of the day it's exactly what you totally know dude!

I think that covers all the annoying words??
-----------------------------

I just noticed I have golfed with someone that is on the top of the list on IMDB in a movie!! Although he did play himself, Karlton Armstrong in The War at Home. I believe if I went through that movie frame by frame you might see me. Probably crying from the tear gas, ahh the good ol' days.

LOL - I was reading a review and I think this guy might want to step away from the bong.

"A year-by-year look at anti-war protests at the University of Michigan at Madison"

What??

Try to stay warm this weekend!

  1. Is there a place where one can have one's wussy, oh-please-excuse-me, sorry bippity-boop excuse for a car horn replaced with something built for a semi or an ocean barge? 'Cause I've had it with the near-misses from cell yappers and texting drivers myself. This past month has truly seen new levels of high danger. At least with the yappers, a blast off their port side would let their friends or family know they're morons.

  2. I caught the NPR story of the most annoying words, and I believe you've got them down, Rod.

    What if I wanted to order an 8x10 of one of your pictures, but not the mat & frame? I love so many of your photos.

    I can't wait to see GMA Saturday morning - I guess it will not be a day to sleep in.

  3. Kathy - that's much cheaper.

    8x12 = $10 plus shipping, handling and additional overcharge.

    I'm sad Nancey's robin did not go bigger - it looks way cool larger - I'll have to fix that when I get home
