Charles Nelson Reilly has passed away. I liked him on Match Game.

Saw Shrek the 3rd last week. It was pretty good, a little weak, but good. Understand they are going to make a fourth Shrek and maybe a Puss in Boots spin-off. Don't know about that, they should stop now.

I am so pissed about the season finale of NCIS from last night. I think I am over the show. Cant stand Madame Director, wish someone would a bullet in her head, and cant stand the dragged out story line of Tony's girlfriend. We find out that Madame Directors pray is related to Tony's girlfriend who knows who Tony really is. Madame Director should be seen very rarely and should not in any way be the center of any storyline. Also tired of the flack McGee takes from the group, particularly the flack he gets from Tony. This season has been lackluster. Only one or two of the episodes stand above the rest and that's not saying much. NCIS will not be must watch TV like it has been for the past three seasons, it will be DVRd and maybe watched or maybe dumped without so much as a glance. It is sad to get rid of a show, but since there was no real pay off to a bad season, then I don't feel that awful about dumping the show. NCIS, you've been nixed clean out your locker and go.

Today looks like a good chance for getting some rain. Need to do a load of laundry, will try and do it this morning just in case we do get some rain.

The tree in the front yard was finally cut done. The crew came unannounced, but did the job in half an hour. Glad it's finally been taken care of, it was something we should have done a couple years ago.

Been having strange dreams again lately. Travel, laundry, being a character in a TV show and being a kid again are some of the topics of my dreams of late.

Coupled with the strange dreams is periods of sleeplessness and also being awoken by my cats reacting to some crap outside. I think there is another cat tormenting Franklin, he seems to have a strong react to something outside. I have never been able to see the source of his torture, but I hope it leaves us alone soon. I am tired of being startled awake at various hours of the day and night.

Was going to go to a movie, but didn't feel like it because of a headache. Will go Wednesday.

Rain is in the forecast for the week. I hope we get some and that it's not like the massive amount we got earlier in the month.

We go from unusually warm weather to more normal weather, but only for a short time. Everything settled down from all the rain we had recently, we even had a brief rain shower yesterday morning.

Yolanda King, the late Martin Luther King Jr's eldest child, has passed. She was working to continue towards achieving her fathers goal of racial harmony. May she rest in peace.

"Reverend" Jerry Falwell has also died. Wonder what Satan served him at his buffet. May he rot in Hell and have ravens peck at him for all eternity. Forgive me Jesus for that.

Flooding in the area due to all the rain we've been getting. Upstream has been getting drenched, so we are having to deal with that too. The next two days have a forecast of rain and I don't think anyone is going to welcome the stuff. The sump pump is dealing with water coming up from the ground and I think it will continue until Mother Nature allows us to dry out. Not a whole lot of rain got in the basement, the water is just coming up from beneath where the pump sits. Of course, what will happen is we will have a dry spell and really need rain and get jack squat. I like what Mother Nature does, but I think she likes being the bitch about things like this.

Have a headache and a spell of depression. Need to do somethings today, but don't feel that motivated to do so. Will just have to push to take care of everything.

Post 500!!!! Here comes the juice.


Greensburg Kansas, an area you can find meteorites in if you're lucky, was hit by a tornado and 95% of the town is gone. At least nine are dead and they are still looking for a few more people last I heard.

We have been getting some amount of rain nearly every day for the past week. Today we got a deluge of rain and there is more rain forecast for the week. At this point we have gotten about three inches, we may get more today. Much of the rain has come just this morning. Flash flood watches are in effect and I am really hating the rain right now.

I do not want to complain....too much, about the weather. But the weather has been on a roller coaster for a few weeks. It was unseasonably warm in March, then it turned colder and there were freeze warnings. Flowers and blooming trees suffered, many of the trees lost some of the budding leaves and the flowers never really had a chance. Then this week it has been rainy or cloudy every day. Next week the temperatures are supposed to be higher then they typically would be for the this time of year. And I hate to think what summer is going to be like.

Have some things we need to do this weekend. Its not stuff we want to do, but have put off for some time.

Tom Poston has passed and also St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Josh Hancock. Loved Tom Poston acting, cant think of a role I didn't like him in. Although I am not a St. Louis Cardinals fan, it is sad when anyone dies young and in a single vehicle traffic accident.

Rain was in the area, but we got nothing. Rumor has it that a tornado touched down north of Topeka. Don't know it is true or not.

Been having trouble sleeping again. No shortage of dreams, but still cant remember a thing about them once I wake up.

Inching towards my 500th post on this blog. Will have a glass of juice to celebrate. Yes, juice. I am don't drink alcohol much and its just a blog, its not like anyone really reads this thing. And its not like I won a million dollars in the lottery or nothing.
