I know it's January but MAN.. Cold.. Colder than a well diggers handshake although I'm not sure what that has to do with the price of tea in China.. anyway..
Checked the Roku yesterday, can't believe all that really is there.. A site has really old movies known as public domain.. You know when it is public domain it is really old.. I had been flipping through and seeing what these sites have and on one of them I decided to give it a look see.. The very original "Night Of The Living Dead" and of course it is in black and white and clipped not because of content, but use or abuse over the years.. I only got ten minutes into the movie and shut it down because I did this during halftime of the pats/texans game.. But it was interesting to watch.. What else is there on this little miracle box? Radio.. They advertise Pandora but it isn't the only radio "app" they have.. Tunein is an interesting one.. Strangely it has so many stations on it and I read where they will be carrying even more.. Checked my youtube yesterday and there is of course a ton f stuff to watch there, I watched a concert yesterday.. Fantastic to see.. Then Saturday I was looking at the app that has a lot of what they call local content (television station stuff) and came across the local Nashville weather.. I thought what are these people complaining about, while it is warmer there by a good nearly seventy degrees.. But then I flipped to the weather channel Saturday and there it was, the reason I'd rather be here.. Tornado weather just north of them.. It's cold here now and that's alright with me.. Then I flipped through they're offerings and found as local as there is for us, the KOTA site.. It is Rapid City but still the call letters are universal for our local KDUH.. Maybe someday they will get the SB station on there.. Watched more Survivors show last night, it's a 12 episode series and I'm not sure that is 12 total or if there was a second season or what.. Flipped through to see what all they do have and remember that there are many seasons of shows I am interested in.. Lost, although I watched it fairly faithfully I am planning to start watching that sometime soon.. Quite a few more series like that that are finished, and some that are still going on.. Lost was one of those that waiting for the next episode was tough to do.. They did show what happened from the week before just before the new show started.. Refresh your memory..
Like I said I am looking at some older movies and tv shows and that lot and it captures the imagination.. I do like looking at the old stuff, I never used to though.. My memories of the sixties are not very good.. I can't remember much at all from the very early days of my life.. Sometimes though it seems like a sight or smell or the right place and time and things come flooding back in what sometimes feels like it is deja vu type of thing.. I used to hate that feeling.. The deja vu feeling.. I used to hate it, but now I try to go with it..
Driving around town the other day I swear houses that are in parts of town change.. They look completely different or maybe I never paid that close of attention to them.. I am really looking at houses now, admiring they are put together.. Some have original ideas and some are just built out of blueprints for an entire neighborhood.. There are sections of town that look like they were built when the S.A.D. was up and running and they needed housing in town very quick.. I call these house "matchbox" houses.. They are all small and all very much identical looking.. But then there are houses that while built quite a few years ago, have a very original look to them.. And I've driven by a lot of these and I guess I never paid that much attention to them.. I look in their back yards to try to get an idea for anything I might want to try in our yard.. I hope they don't see me looking like that they might think I have other motives.. Sometimes I wish I could stop and just stare at their houses and try to understand them.. I was walking around one day a few years back and admired the houses in the downtown area.. they seem to be the oldest..
When the towns were named "Fort" followed by their names it made you wonder where were the walls?? And I thought of that with Sidney, where were the original walls?? Then you figure most Fort towns were just named that.. Still makes you wonder how the fort would look.. Also how was the town originally visioned.. Was it thought to be better to build where they did or expand more along the highway rather than out towards the interstate.. Makes you wonder if the west exit were developed what things would be like today..
