Cheerio!

Well now let's see. Traveling pain. It has been my experience that random piques of pain travel through the body. The hip for example. Aches. Then the knee, which stops the hip. Now the hip is fine. It's the knee. No, now it's the tummy, or the toe, or section of jaw. When one pain starts, the other stops. Very interesting.

Handy hint section: If you have lived in a house over 20 years, and the furnace is not doing as it should, and making noises -- call the duct cleaner and have the furnace cleaned. You'd be surprised.

Recent television series. "Book of Daniel", about a Methodist minister and his family. Canceled. Apparently some very powerful people do not like this show to the point of swiping it off the air. Now, there have been some interesting points that have been discussed on the program, and surely many find it offensive if they insist on taking it literally seriously, which obviously they have. Personally, I found it a witty and provocative hour, with some parts in it sure to shake the fundamentalist to the core. Talking to Jesus was one such. Personally, I agreed with all said. I do advocate people taking moral responsibility for their own actions. Certain things were mentioned that some would speak of in terms of 'blasphemy' , but I do not think so. But boy, the uproar! The rapid snatching off the air! Blatant suppression! In the name of What -- status quo of the majority? I find that a bit offensive. Crying out loud, it's a story, a story. Not real. Fiction! Oh well.
