Incredibly Behind the Times

I finished watching a few of the TV series' I'd been enjoying on Netflix over the last couple of weeks. I was irked to find that one of them was removed before I had the chance to finish it. But I'll manage. In my search to find something else to watch I found myself drawn to two vastly different shows, unable to really make a solid decision about which one to start first. So I watched the first episode of each shows first season and made my choice from there.

Reno 911! can wait.

This girls' gonna finally watch the X-Files.

I know I know, it started wayyy back in 1993. But I NEVER watched a single episode of it while it was on TV or popular. I'm sure it wasn't for lack of interest in seeing it. I was always curious about it. But if memory serves, it was in conflict with something else I was more interested in watching at the time. I don't remember exactly what that was, but I believe that's what kept me from watching it when it was all the rage.

That being said I have a few things I'd like to say about what I've seen so far. I'm on Episode 5 of Season 1 so far...

observation #1 - They were terrible actors at the beginning.
observation #2 - The story lines are quite intriguing.
observation #3 - David Duchovny is really kind of weird looking, with his caricature like face.
observation #4 - Gillian Anderson is in no way a natural redhead. no way. I refuse to believe it.
observation #5 - I don't know why I never bothered to watch it until now. I love it.

Now there are over 200 episodes to watch and I imagine it will take an immeasurable amount of time to watch all of it now that I'm going back over-the-road and all. I really hope it keeps my interest long enough to finish it. But if not... there is always the retarded comedy of Reno 911! to keep my eyes occupied.

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome"

Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Blowin' Stuff Up

Man, I've been seriously fortunate lately. Since I last posted, I had the pleasure of finally putting that darned HAZMAT endorsement to use by taking a load of potassium nitrate into Canada. Of course, my initial reaction was to wonder why my dispatcher hated me enough to do this to me. But then I realized it was just a fine opportunity to expand my horizons. I was afraid that the load was going to be a huge hassle when crossing the border. Turns out, they didn't give two craps about what I was hauling. I approached customs anticipating much ado and received...well... nothing. I was in Canada in less than 5 minutes upon reaching the border crossing. Woo hoo! So far so good. So I arrive at my destination and find myself thinking that finally the tables have turned and luck is running for the hills. The place I delivered to was a small "airline hanger" of a building on a road that was restricted to 5 tons per axle (which equals NOT ME). Of course, I had to tak
