Hoppy new year twist

New years resolutions::  I don't believe in resolutions of the new years day variety because they are a waste of time..  Thinking back  a year ago I thought it would be a long cold ass winter but it turned out when ground hog day came they got the prediction wrong, not only was spring just six short weeks away, it started almost that day..  Seems like we started on spring weather in early March, and I remember that because I did part of the yard one day and it rained pretty much right after and I thought great, that little bit of doings made it rain.. Shouldn't have gotten too excited, that would be the last rain storm we would get for a very long time.. Enter the drought of 2012 -  ???   And the beginning is the end.. I remember going to see the eagles one year and we went to the lake and it was the height of the last drought that took the level of the water at lake Mac down further than it had ever been since the lake was started... This could end up being worse than that time and the saddest part about it is that it wasn't that long ago.. 

OVER THE FISCAL CLIFF:  So how bad will it be.. The announcement last night or early this morning that they have reached a deal.. It ain't gonna happen.. This congress is lame duck and are the lamest of congress ever and that is what the republicans are going to be known for from now on.. The greatest country on Earth is being held back by a bunch of whiny assed baby ....  Fill in the blank... You know when they said something about the next president will have this fiscal cliff to deal with right after the election I knew the clock would strike the new year before they would come close to a new deal.. Which it did, but they didn't.. These people would be happiest if our economy was amongst the worst in the world, and 97% of the people were living on the streets.. The rich in their ivory towers.. They think we worship them, but we DON'T..  Seeing the fancy houses means nothing to me.. I can't imagine their empty lives, wondering why they have no real friends.. It's like the question I have of if you are a millionaire and have friends and family that are the same way, what do you get someone that has or can get what they want??  

I watched the ball drop in Times Square last night on the NYE channel on Roku.. Up until last night that channel didn't exist and right shortly after it was still there but nothing was on it..  I saw the announcement that some of the NFL playoffs will be streamed and so that could really be interesting to see if it will be on the Roku system.. I've said the Roku won't replace cable but in reality it could give cable a serious run.. The only thing they don't have is live local news feeds, but that might be about to change..  The past year has seen so many gadgets be introduced that the day is coming where every aspect could be available online..  Going into the private channels directory and found a truckload to try.. Mostly I knew most of them were still in development, in a sort of beta (yuck) mode.. A couple have locked up the player, either because our internet is too slow or the site still isn't up fully (buggy).. But some have potential to be very good, if not for the niche they are going for.. There is a webcam site that shows traffic cams and it was interesting to look at.. Keeping it for at least a little while..  The movie channels ones look really interesting although public domain can be somewhat interesting, it is extremely old viewing and I think mom would really like these sites..

Who's gonna win todays bowl game??  I've got Nebraska   losing in the bowl challenge thing on ESPN.. Normally I would pick NU to win but after the big ten title game I just feel like.. If the game isn't over by the half that will be good.. Watching the LSU - Clemson game last night I feel like we can beat Georgia but it will take a supreme effort.. I think I could take a ten point loss if we play them tough.. I hope we win, my bowl predictions are shot and besides I'd rather be wrong than right about the pick anyway.. My final score.. As a fan of Nebraska I pick NU 42  GU 41.. but as a continued from the big ten title game (where we never really showed up) I would say NU 35 GU 63.. A loss like that could cost jobs on the Nebraska sideline...

P.S.   Happy new year from the Thad Chiz Wick site.. I think I wished a happy new year from here to the fans of PNOP..   Either way, we are all connected..
