Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 random things, facts, goals, or habits about yourself. At the end, choose 10 people to be tagged, listing their names & why you chose them. You can't tag a person who has tagged you.

1. As I'm writing this I'm wearing a shirt that advertises Tobasco pepper sauce. It's a gift from my new brother-in-law.
2. I drew cartoons for my High School newspaper for a while. I gave cartooning up when I went to college. The problem was that I took Art classes in an attempt to learn illustration, and my teacher was too interested in modern and abstract art to be bothered.
3. The road that the house where I am is on used to be called Injun Warpath.
4. I've seen the Thunderbirds aerobatic demonstration team's show twice and the Blue Angels' show once.
5. I've only taken one round trip on jetliners. It will be thirty years past in February.
6. My brother loves mushrooms; I hate them. I love coconut, he despises it.
7. I only wear shorts to sleep in. I never go swimming and I like having long trousers even if it's hot.
8. My family seriously considered relocating to Saudi Arabia once. This was in the late Seventies or early Eighties.
9. Often in school I'd be the one to operate film projectors, slide projectors, and other media or display equipment for the class. It would just work out that way.
10. States I've been to: Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida. Plus a day-trip to Washington, D.C.

Okay...tagging. I tag:
[profile] _eljefe_, [profile] boxofsoap, [personal profile] cyclophile, [personal profile] cygnia, [profile] danihana, [profile] grassynoel, [personal profile] lurkerwithout, [profile] mravac_kid, [personal profile] nick_101 and [profile] ohamsie.

The TV set in our dining room has, of late, given us minor problems with it needing some warm-up time before the picture resolves. The issue has been a minor nuisance.

Today, I catch Dad trying to unplug it. I ask him what he's doing. He tells me he got another TV.

Okay...it's another RCA. Okay, it's bigger than the one that we have. Okay, the remote we have for our TV will kind of work with it. And it's kind of operational.

The picture is way out of focus. It's no better than the one we have, once the one we have is warmed up.

I ask, "How much did you pay for this TV?"

"Five Dollars."

He's taking it back where he got it as I type this...and he promises me he'll get another TV.
