Tonight’s show was great. The veto competition was awesome. The contestants had to crawl through hundreds of gallons of honey, which really covered them in sticky goo. Then they had to bust up pillows filled with feathers, of course, to find little stiffed teddy bears. The person who found their batch of teddy bears first won the immunity. Of course, the guy who won was one who was put up for eviction. So there’s already some fun twists and turns in the drama.

For the little bit that I actually watch TV, the fact that I saw three commercials yesterday by T. Boone Pickens about his plan for bringing wind power to America is remarkable. From what I’ve heard so far, wind power makes sense if the geographic area has sustained winds of about 10+ mph.

Now, a clever guy in Petaluma by the name of Steve Rustad who draws cartoons has a good idea about wind power, too. If I did this link correctly you can see his idea here. Thanks, Steve!

The past several days have typical summer weather with temperatures in the high 80’s or low 90’s and high humidity. The kind of hot muggy days that suck the energy right out of you and you really appreciate the cool air conditioning when you get home.

We’ve had a lot of thunderstorms this summer. We need the rain, so I can’t complain much, but the thunder makes my dog bark and freak out, and the lightning makes me nervous about strikes too close to home. I’ve to power down my computer several times these past several days so that if we have a lightning strike it won’t zap my system.

But today is beautiful so far. It’s only about 80 degrees, sunny with a few clouds, there is a nice breeze, and the humidity is gone. I’ll be outside as much as possible today to take advantage of this!

What a cast of characters for this new season of the Big Brother reality show! Mostly young people like me and one old guy. I’m really looking forward to this show - TV has been boring ever since the writer’s strike.

I don’t know what is wrong with my beloved Cards but they can’t seem to win a game to spite themselves. I’ve been watching parts of games for the past two weeks and haven’t watched them win yet. The losses aren’t even close - they’ve been humiliating blowouts by the other teams. Poor Albert Pujols and Rick Ankiel can’t carry the whole team on their backs. They need the rest of the team to step up their game and start winning.
