I Love! getting a UPS/Fed Ex Delivery...however...

This week the UPS guy delivered this from my Son & Daughter-In-Law...A Lava Lamp! It's about 16" High! Questions for the Blog Visitors: (this is a photo you can click to ENLARGE)

• Were they being Nice?
• Were they Yanking me?

RIDICULOUSNESS...

A Beer Meeting...the Evening Cable News Channels are focused on this charade..."MSNBC, CNN, FOX,etc and I am sure the morning shows will Feature this Ridiculousness...

Vacation Time/Elders/ and Roller Coasters

It is vacation time and the PEA Blog has a WARNING...Last time I was on a Roller Coaster was with my oldest son who was in his 30's...I was Psyched to Ride! I Love Roller Coasters!

• The Line was short
• We were strapped in
• The Roller Coaster took Off!

I was Smiling Smile-ing? Until we went over the First Crest....

• I was surprised how fast my internal organs had ridden up to my throat...
• they must have loosened up over the years...
• By the second Crest it felt like my Insides went from my throat to my Feet!

I noticed that the Photo-op Scream Scene was approaching on our last Crest (where they have the cameras to photo u and ur party partying?)

• I managed to get my Left arm over my Face at that time to avoid having to Buy a copy of my Ride.

My son asked if I liked it...I said "I loved it!" cause I knew that this would be...

• The last time I ride a Roller Coaster & I did it with my Son...

Extreme Body Surfing...

So, last week I did some extreme body surfing while in Avalon. My friends shot some footage, take a look!

SPORTS !!!

This time next YEAR... Michael Vick will have played in the NFL and Pete Rose will be Eligible for the Hall Of Fame !

We need to re-visit the July 20 Post...

...regarding the Moon Launch, the color of the '64 Chevy and your attention to DETAIL!

• It was Apollo 11 that first landed on the Moon!
• It was a WHITE '64 Chevy Impala with a Red Dashboard
• ...and...Power Windows
• The seats were draped with White Fur...

No-one called the Blog on the Fact that it was Apollo 11 that landed first!

• Nobody pays attention to DETAIL

I Remain BAFFLED!

This is the Flag of Scotland. So is it a country, or what? and what does the Prince of Wales have to do with it?! I was looking for Golf Courses for our Family Golf Tournament. One of the places I was researching was in Scotland. I always thought that Scotland was its' own Sovereign Country, am I wrong? Scotland is part of Great Britain?....anyway, looks like the best place for the Golf Tourney is the Nine Hole Course in Skippack. Near Rt 73 & Rt 363.

ARE WE HAVING FUN OR WHAT?!?

Ten in a ROW! GO "PHILADELPHIA" !

The Streets of Sea Isle, NJ were impassable that Night, my Friends... July 20, 1969...

I believe it was Michael and myself in my WHITE Impala, with Red interior, making our way to Gallagher's Pub in Avalon. On the radio was a Broadcast of the Moon Landing! We had to circle around side streets to avoid the Flooding. Michael wanted to bring out his Two Man Yellow Raft to cross the Channel separating Sea Isle & Avalon. Being the sensible one...I convinced him otherwise & the WHITE Impala got us there in time for the Show! Neil & Buzz had it easier on their Journey that night than we did!

• WE put two men on the MOON! and
• Two Young Men in Gallagher's Pub!
• Apollo 12 and the WHITE (64) Chevy Impala performed Flawlessly

That's how I remember it, how do you remember it ?

It is past the Middle of July and I think we need

A Family Nine Hole Golf Tournament !

• With a Handicap of course
• For Example...
• Michael would be a 12 Handicap
• Mary would be a 40 Handicap

It would require a $25.00 Entry Fee, with the Winner getting Two Thirds of the POT and the Runner Up One Third

• NINE HOLES at that place off of Rt 73, North of Rt 363 in Skippack on a Weekday

Handicaps to be determined by the "Pea Blog Handicap Committee" Are you Interested ? EDIT!...I think we should divvy up the Prize $$$ so that more $$$ will be left over for the 19th Hole...

I MAY NEED TO GO TOTALLY POLITICAL !

If only for my own Sanity...Topics would include...

• Health Care
• Cap & Trade
• Stimulus Package
• Supreme Court Nominees
• Hillary's broken Elbow & No-shows
• Barak's All Star first pitch
• Joe (foot in the mouth) Biden...
• Pelosi's travel costs
• The John Murtha Airport in Johnstown, Pa
• Tax increases
• Barney Frank
• Vladamir Putin
• Ted Kennedy
• Global Warming
• the death of walter cronkite

and so much more.....it's Summer & no-one is paying attention anyway! How much Tanning can I do for Goodness sake? I am already too TAN !

A Sport Question...

It is the All Star Break...FIVE Phillies are there, Plus Charlie and his Coaching Staff... took Charlie a Long time. But it took the Babe a long time too, he did not play in his First All Star Game until he was 38 Years Old!

• How Come?
• And who was the Traffic Cop that escorted the Babe from 12th and Market to the Bellvue in PHILADELPHIA and provided him with 6 Quarts of Ballantine!

Happy Birthday Blog!!!

Another Suggested Road Trip.Although we have never actually had a Road Trip.

Well, the person that types the sub-titles for the Phillies game just informed me that "Ban-ton struk out Duck". I am sure the typist meant Blanton struck out Duke, but who knows?

• Anyway, we have all "punked out" on suggested road trips
• Football & R&R Hall of Fame

• Augusta...

By the way, y'all still owe me $25.00 each for that debacle

• Kayaking on the Colorado River

How about a road trip to

• St. Francis University..and
• the Pittsburgh Pirate Field (i don't even know what they call it!)

Anyone ???

Do you know Noah Wyle?

I saw him the other night on a commercial where he says Polar Bears are a GONE species...that got my attention. Today, and I have to admit this Publicly...I was watching the ELLEN show with Judith Ann and...

• Ellen asked a question about Noah to her Guest ...
• George Clooney

I have no idea what the question was or what George said, I just want to know...

• Who is Noah Wyle and
• What does he really know about Polar Bears?

Best Mascot in Professional Sports!

Just saw the Phanatic doing a dance with two women on the Top of the Dugout! Cracked me up...

• How many Phanatics have we had?
• Who designed the Phanatic outfit?

The Phanatic antics are worth the price of admission...

Have you ever gone to a Pig Roast?

We hosted a Pig Roast Party this past July 3rd. I was shocked at how good the little guy tasted. The meat was the best pork I have ever had. Really Good...

Just to Quantify the Card Game...and put an End To It!...

It went for about three hours...

• The Total Pot consisted of...
• $42.00 LARGE

That's right, $42.00 was the entire Kitty! We wanted to kitty up more but the CHIP SUPPLIER DID NOT HAVE enough Big Money Chips...

• Not enough REDS
• Not enough WHITES
• Not enough BLUES

Anyway, the $42.00 Pot lasted us three Hours of Fun Poker (ahemmm, cough, cough...). The Winnings were distributed thusly...

• Pea...$12.95+
• Blaze...$10.75+
• Slim Pickens...$6.25+
• YoYoPoker... $5.05+
• Stoneman...$14.95-
• Cooker...$20.05-

What is Sarah's Plan ?

'WE'RE NOT RETREATING. WE'RE ADVANCING IN ANOTHER DIRECTION'...

Speaking of "hanging out"

The left one is the Sears Tower, 1353 ft above the Street! Tallest Building in the USA. On the right is the Grand Canyon "Sky Walk", 3600 ft above the Canyon. Would you venture onto either one ?

Has anyone else seen this guy "Hang Out"

...to solve his back problem ?
