Assorted stuff

Hazy morning, but already nearly +40 F and might just hit +60 F today - and the weekend is supposed to get warmer still. Nice, to have fair temperatures. Of course the downside is that Summer is coming. Summer, the season of obnoxiously miserable hot weather.

Did the treadmill thing an hour earlier last night and watched New Detectives, which wasn't bad. But I can see getting tired of that in not too much time. A check of TV Guide (on the web, of course) shows that I should probably set a VCR to record an hour at 1 PM. I have a choice of Tiny Toons, Acme Hour, and Perry Mason then. Maybe I'll set that this noon. It's been some years since I saw Perry Mason (I'm hoping it's the old black and white show).

A couple nights ago Storm Stories was interesting. It was about the blizzard of January 1997 and how it affected an eastern state. What was interesting was that I can remember that one, before it went that far east. It was enough here that the town pretty much closed down, the two open 24 hour grocery stores closed, and there were warnings that said something like "If you try to leave town, we will NOT come out to rescue you. Stay home." The snow itself wasn't too bad, but there quite a bit of it - and with high winds it made for poor visibility and large drifts.

jmaynard has been watching Ranma quite a bit. Thankfully, with headphones if I'm around. I find the voices grating. Perhaps I shouldn't put it that way. The voices are okkay, the dialog is grating. I'm amazed he can stand it, myself.

The voices didn't bug me; The visuals did. There isn't ONE episode of Ranma that doesn't have some nudity in it. Even one Richard considered tame had a flash of breasts in it when Ranma changed. I don't care for it, myself.
