Kids Today.... Huh

Kids today

They have it so easy.

Why, when I was a boy, we had to reach ALL THE WAY TO THE RADIO DIAL in the car, to turn up the volume or change a station. None of this fancy shmancy pushing a button on the steering wheel to turn it up or change the station.

And putting the window down?? Fuggedaboudit! We had to ROLL IT UP OR DOWN. None of this pushing a button to raise or lower it.

And clocks!

When WE switched to Daylight Savings Time, we HAD TO GO AROUND TO EACH AND EVERY CLOCK IN THE HOUSE and change the time. None of this automatically having the time change for you on these cell phones and computers.

I tell ya.

Kids today have it easy.

We get no respect.

Entertainment Overnight -- It's Coming Back Around Again

Daylight Saving Time



Saturday night, October 31, coincidentally, if not also rather ironically.

Entertainment overnight

The prefect song to describe these Fall days.



If you don't own this cd, go get it. "Avalon Sunset."

Happy Thanksgiving, happy holidays

 

Weston, Missouri.

One more reminder today

Don't forget---and enjoy that extra hour of sleep, y'all.

Have a beautiful weekend, everybody

 

And there had to be at least one kite-flyer out there and here he was.

 

The late afternoon sun makes for good, warm, easy shots at times. I'm not saying this is one but it could be.

 

And we'll have to remember that this was also the day that KU played a grudge/rematch with MU. (and that MU just barely won, by two points, which had to be painful for all the KU fans, of course).

 

You'll find I covered this once but I liked the perspective and light I got on this one, that's all.

 

The jogging trail, of course, around the park. Several people were taking advantage of it and the warm temperatures, of course.

 

I don't know what they are or what the plant is but they were beautiful, of course, and I loved the late afternoon sunlight.

 

To repeat, brilliant day. And I've always loved this house. (How do you not?)

 

Living on the Plaza as I do (hey, it's an affordable apartment, folks), I get to Loose Park fairly frequently, over the years. I have to say, this was absolutely the busiest I've ever seen the playground there--and that's saying something. This doesn't even really show how very busy it was, too, and all the energy that was coming from it.

 

Just a brilliant day.

 

I just liked it, that's all there is to it. (And hey, I can dream, can't I?)

 

I thought this might be good to show both how busy it truly was on the Plaza (no surprise) and the West Edge and its cranes threatening the area--and city. (lol)

 

I just threw this in to show how beautiful a day it was (as though we needed reminding, right?) and because I thought it turned out well, what with the light and clouds, etc. I will tell you, the streets were far more busy than this shows. It seemed everyone in town had the same idea--to go to the Plaza.
