Random Thoughts
Here are just a few things that have run through my mind lately.

- I honestly think that the use of turn signals has been outlawed in this state (S.C.) and nobody told me about it.
- Women will always make snide comments during the wrestling program you’re watching like “This stuff is so fake” and “That probably didn’t hurt”; but if we say one thing about the Lifetime movie they’re watching (You know the one with two people meeting on-line and falling in love and living happily ever after), we’re in the dog house for a week.
- Skydiving is life.
- Shopping is a necessity; it’s not an activity.
- You will always have car problems when you are broke. Never when you have cash to spare.
- Kids are kind of like little people, sometimes.
- At times the Army can be like prison; after being in for a while you get institutionalized.
- A microwave is not the best place to make spaghetti.
- People do not know how to dance anymore. If you go to a club these days all you see is people moving their shoulders and bending their knees. Occasionally they will put their hands in the air and wave.
- I hope Break Dancing comes back soon. (No really, I do.)
- People will pretend they’re drunk if they do something stupid while they’re out on the town, even though you know they only had two beers.
Guy 1. “I can’t believe you were talking to that girl last night. She was so ugly.”
Guy 2. “I don’t remember nothing. I was too drunk.”
Guy 1. “You only had a glass of wine and a beer.”
Guy 2. “Whatever.”

- I hate the word “Actually.” Even though occasionally I catch myself using it. The word implies that you were lying the first time you mentioned a subject.
- If you weren’t a Yankees fan during the 80s, when they were losing all the time, don’t be one now. You make us true fans look bad.
- I love New York (my home state). I hate the taxes.
- I remember when everything was closed on Sundays. What happened to that?
- Life is too short to stay mad.
- Drink water!
- It’s amazing, but FDR could be thought of as our greatest president ever, or our worst.
- Stupid pick-up lines work – on stupid girls and all guys.
- Here’s a good hangover tip. Set your alarm an hour prior to when you have to wake up. Take the water and aspirins you set out the night before, and then go back to sleep. By the time you wake up the aspirin is already kicking in.
- Do Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, and Dan Rather do separate live newscasts for the West Coast or is it tape delayed? I really want to know this one.
- If there is so much global warming, why have we had snow here in South Carolina the last few years?
- What happened to all the patriotism we had going on last September?
- Golf is an activity, not a sport.
- Why is “College Night” always in the middle of the week? Don’t students need their rest for school the next morning?
- If you’re a guy and thinking about buying a pair of Speedos – Don’t.
- If you’re a guy who owns a pair of Speedos – Get help.

I'm a part-time writer and this is one of the columns I wrote for a newspaper. It got a lot of response from my readers. Mabey I should put this little effort into my columns all the time.

I actually know the answer to this one.

All of the big three networks do their nightly news live to the east coast at 6:30 pm. Not all stations on the east coast broadcast it live, but it is certainly avaliable to them. These feeds are available to the entire network coast-to-coast to downlink and in a few instances are broadcast locally at odd hours.

The networks then normally re-feed the 6:30 pm broadcasts without any changes at 7 pm eastern. If there was a screw up in the first live satellite feed, then they may correct it by inserting the correction live. For instance, if Dan Rather has a caughing fit during his read of the second story, they might show the taped portion up to that point, cut in the Dan re-reading the second story live and then switch back to the taped first feed.

Generally speaking, the west coast stations rebroadcast the second feed -- the 7 pm east coast one -- unless there is a MAJOR story that is actually breaking, like a natural disaster, war, election or something else that simply can't wait until the next day.

Something that's beginning to piss me off is that one of the networks is beginning to use the phrase "breaking news" for just about anything they want to lead with -- even if the material is hours old.

I have a different view of this one that people are all (or should be) big kids. Or thats my excuse anyway!!
