In Phila we have Blue recycle Bins & the Recycle Rules are as confusing as this Dylan song...

You can get fined $50.00 for not following the proper rules! Go to the Phila Streets Dept re-cycling Web site and they are as confused as most people are as to what is proper recycled material & what is not!

• To make matters worse, they now have "TRASH POLICE" patrolling your street on trash day!
• And they carry video cameras to film your violation!

As a result, Phila residents are "Tangled up in Blue" as to what to do on Trash Day...

A QUESTION FROM THE COMPLAINT DEPT of the Gpea Blog

Are you seeing the photos from the recent posts re: Elephants & Dogs? We have received a complaint from a visitor that no photos are visible on his/her computer.  I have 2 computers & they are visible on each one...so let us know

My shot at being under the Spot-Light...

        

• TheMcKendry Bros are to perform this Saturday @ Shanachie, Edward can't make it and the Cooker says he's going Solo! He has not told Management that Blaze will not be there, he intends to tell them that Blaze had a last minute Emergency...I am thinking I should show up with the Cooker pretending to be Blaze , act like I am aggravated while I am making believe I am  hooking up the Sound System. Who would know that a Switch took place? Other than I cannot play a guitar. No problem...once under The Spot-Light I can fake a finger cramp and defer to The Cooker! Do you think it will work? I can also act aloof like the real Eddie does and snicker and sneer too...and also refuse a Beer when a Fan wants to buy me one...well, maybe not that one. Do you think it will work?

Regarding High Def TV & some Tips from Jason...

He tutored me that if I hit channel 3, 6, or 10 the screen asks "watch in HD?" and if you click the OK button it takes you to the HD version of the Channel. You need to be quick with the Clicker to do this.  Also, if you watch "On Demand" Movies you need to go to the On Demand HD channel to request them to get HD Movies. Scroll thru the 200 HD Channels and you will see it.

PS...another No Photo Post...

PPS...Jason yelled at me "if you don't watch the HD channels when you are paying for them then you should just flush about $20 to 40 dollars a month down your toilet"!

The Phillies Announcers...

In my opinion...The Phils need to address their announcer team this off-season. Tom McCarthy seems like a real nice guy but he has no Pizazz... and an ordinary voice.

• Wheels...should stay
• Gary Mathews...should stay
• Scott Fransky(???) should be on TV
• Larry Anderson should stay & partner w/Franskie(???)

In my opinion the Best Partnership was Harry & Whitey in their Prime...

• Byron Samm?
• Bill Campbell?

Who else was there?

ANIMALS ARE ANIMALS...even Coco, who got nasty with me a few weeks ago in Judy Ann's Moms house...

This is an Incredible story! In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in   Kenya after graduating from  the  University of  Toronto  .   On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.   The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.   He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it.   As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife,   after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.   The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments.   Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled.   Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away.   Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.      Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Toronto Zoo with his teenaged son.   As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and   walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing.   The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down.   The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.   Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant.   Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure.   He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.   The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs   and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.      Probably wasn't the same fucking elephant.         This is for everyone who sends me those heart-warming bullshit stories.

A Joke ...

Mother Superior called all the nuns together and said to them, 'I must tell you all something. We have a case of gonorrhea in the convent.'  
'Thank God,' said an elderly nun at the back. 'I'm so tired of chardonay.

Practicing my Photo Uploads...who are these guys?

I have no photo Posting capability! They have changed the format & it peas me off!

But, I did want to report that my Samsung Home Theatre is Up & Running! Jazmus came over this week & put the final touches on the Audio portion. I now have "Surround Sound"! If only I could hear it...

• I have 5 speakers
• 2 speakers up front
• 2 speakers in the back
• and one "center channel" Speaker

A point of interest...the two back speakers are 42 years old. I bought them in Saigon in 1968 & had them shipped home.

• They sound fantastic!
• and they are a good conversation starter...I'm thinking...

If anyone shows up here to have a conversation
