YouTube.com

I really enjoy the music and the videos that is offered on YouTube.com. I could spend hours looking up music to listen to. Remember this one “Take A Walk On The Wild Side”  song by Lou Reed. And the colored girls go……………..

Hey babe, take a walk on the side!

Rod Stewart

It’s cool to see that Rod Stewart is still going strong. Remember Maggie May?

And then of course there is Forever Young. I couldn’t find the video for this song but I did come up with this one that shows the lyrics.

Last but not least I Don’t Want To Talk About It

Garden shows

This is the time of year when my wife and I start seeing advertisements for flower and garden shows.  We have made it a tradition to go to them if it all possible.  We set aside the day and drive to the show and take our time and walk around the displays.  There are usually some really spectacular landscapes put up!  After we go through the landscape displays, we like to go through the vendor area.  The vendor area is full of trade show booths filled with all sorts of goodies.  Some are actually garden related, but some are just food, or crafts.  That’s OK, though.  The food vendors usually give away free samples!  And my wife enjoys looking at the crafts and getting ideas on expanding her own crafty interests!

Most of the booths are very well appointed with table skirts.  A few are not, however, and I have to say that those tables really look naked in comparison to those that do!  Some of the larger vendors that sell equipment go all out with the addition of banner stands and pipe and drape dividers.  I always find it interesting to see who is doing what with their display booths.

The Saints Kick Some Super Bowl Butt

Last night’s Super Bowl game was a great game. I think that I actually enjoyed the game more than the commercials this year, that is a first. I did enjoy watching The Who perform some of their hits at half time, their music and the light show was fabulous, where as their singing voices left a lot to be desired. But then again we are all getting older.

I’m glad that the Saints won.

Vanity plates

One of the things I really enjoy doing when I’m driving around is reading other people’s private number plateson their cars. For example, the pictured plate in this post reads “Idiot.”  When I see something like that I have to laugh because most of the vanity plates that I see are a comment about the driver of the car!  So for this particular plate, I am thinking that the driver is an idiot!  Although I suspect the person who bought the plate meant to imply that the OTHER drivers out on the road are idiots, I think that it back-lashed.

I think that one of the funniest plates that I’ve ever seen was in Maine, the plate read “PB4UGO”  – something that my mother always used to tell us kids right before we left the house to go anywhere!  Another good one was “IOIO”, which made me think of the Seven dwarfs going off to work.

Not as clever, but still memorable are plates that are on company vehicles that have some reference to the business – such as a plumber’s truck having the plate “PIPES” or “FLUSH.”  Or a home decorating business have a plate that says “DKR8.”  Yes, I do enjoy trying to figure out a lot of the weird plates out there – makes sitting at a traffic light or traffic jam a little more entertaining!
