The second day of 365

Starting off the new year.. I always hated to have to admit that we turned the calendar.. I would try to keep a hold of the feelings from the previous month by way of extending the month by two to three days.. So instead of today being the second day of January I would think of it as day 33 in what could be a 34 or 35 day month..  But it was always for naught.. A way to fool myself in some way..

Mom watched the boo from the last day of last year through yesterday after the bowl game (loss, bummer).. And on the way home she says her appointment is at 10:40 this morning but it is in Scottsbluff and I could swear it was it the docs office in town there but... She finds out it is in town rather than SB.. so that saved a little..  Don't have to drive so far to have so little done.. She has  possible sinus infection, not horrible but since her upper sinus were obliterated (the S.O.S. surgery from.. ) and when she starts blowing green crap out when she blows her nose they (the dipshit doctor brigade) told her to "just call and we will phone in the prescription.."  Nice lying sacks of shit because all he will do today is see her, talk to her (but not listen) and then five minutes later write the fucking prescription..  Thank you idiot.. They must see us as mice...  If I ever get sick I will go to a mechanic.. At least they give a shit..

The bowl games I watched yesterday..  Well let me first start by saying I did only watch two games yesterday.. Usually I try to watch all the games but yesterday I watched just the two.. The Capitol one bowl with our Huskers playing the 'dogs..  We played well through three quarters.. But then the defense let us down in the fourth..  I thought we could play with them and did.. And believe it or not I actually thought that we were in the wrong conference.. We should have moved to the SEC instead of the big ten..  If they took Missouri they easily would have taken Nebraska and we could recruit better there.. But we will be in the big ten which is weak, and was weak before we got there..  When I think of big ten I think Ohio State and Michigan (in football) and that is it.. Now Nebraska but how long before we aren't that great?? 

Working on the RSS reader from two weeks ago until now and am now three days (?) away from having that cleaned up.. Then we go to the FVD speed dial on the Aurora browser.. Then I will check programs on the computer, seeing what I use and don't use and getting some updated and some deleted.. Getting stuff deleted from the computer and making this thing run better and faster.. I heard that the Mozzilla (Firefox, Aurora browsers) could be on the rocks.. So I hate to have to move everything to Chrome but.. It looks like either Chrome or Opera will be the main browser at this time next year..   I really like Firefox (Aurora mostly) but as with all things in computers, you can't get too atatched..  And I do get used to how a browser works.. Chrome was just about the best browser I had ever used until 2011 when it crapped out on me twice in a three month period..  But I might have to go back to it shortly..

The Roku continues to be ...  Well it is what I thought it would be, changed a few things.. Digital cable remains hooked up but as of today hasn't been used.. Getting away from the EPG has been the hardest part of shutting it down.. I don't know what is on anymore and maybe that is a good thing.. I keep seeing the DVR systems for both satellite companies as well as for our cable tv service and keep thinking the days of this type of viewing are coming to an end.. Why record something when you can stream it??  Eventually this will stop but they need to flood the market first before people realize that they can stream exactly what they want when they want it and not have to pay for two hundred channels they never watch.. Seriously who watches those extra channels??  But you have to pay for them anyway.. With the Roku you pay for only what you watch.. It could be the death of cable tv the way it is now.. I look for things to change dramatically over the next ten years, maybe even less..  Streaming isn't new, but it is getting traction.. Could go either way but the more gadgets there are the more stuff to watch people will want and that will be for tablets, computers and streaming services as well..
