This is a pretty cool video of a forest changing seasons. The person who did this must have kept a still camera in place and had it take a picture every day or so.

Are you kidding me!!!!
You gotta see this video.....
Dog Steals Bone
Workers at a Murray, Utah, grocery store said surveillance video recorded a dog walking into the store and taking a rawhide bone. Smith's Food & Drug store manager Roger Adamson said the dog entered the store, headed straight for the dog food aisle and picked up the $2.79 bone. Adamson said he confronted the shoplifting animal as it was attempting to leave the store. "I looked at him. I said, 'Drop it!'" Adamson said. "I decided I wanted to keep all my fingers, so I didn't try to take it from him. He looked at me, and I looked at him, and he ran for the door and away he went, right out the front door."

Great Gifts for guys
I could get down with some of these gifts. What the heck every guy loves a good knife!
***SEVEN LAST-MINUTE GIFTS HE'LL LOVE ***
Guys are notorious for waiting until the week before Christmas to buy gifts. But let's be honest . . . women do it too. If you're still looking for something for the man in YOUR life, here are seven last-minute gifts that he'll love . . .
#1.) A POKER SET. Even if he's not a big card player, every guy should have one. You can get a set for under $20, but if you splurge on one with a classy case and properly weighted chips, you'll get to watch him smile even wider.
#2.) A STUB HUB GIFT CERTIFICATE. StubHub.com's a great website that offers discounted tickets to sporting events and concerts all over the country. It's hard to predict WHEN he'll be able to go, but a gift certificate lets him choose what he sees and when. You can get a gift certificate at StubHub.com for anywhere between $25 and $500.
#3.) A SWISS ARMY KNIFE. He probably has an old one sitting in the back of his sock drawer . . . but rest assured . . . it's NOTHING like this. For $80, you can buy him the new "Swiss Flash".
#4.) A HOT-SAUCE-OF-THE-MONTH MEMBERSHIP. For whatever reason, guys LOVE hot sauce. So, if you want to get him something he'll enjoy every day . . . or if you just want to torture him for the next six months . . . SweatNSpice.com can do it for $140.
#5.) A BATH ROBE. It'll keep him warm every time he takes a shower in the morning, but he'd probably never think to buy one for himself. To spice things up, wear it when you give it to him . . . and don't wear anything else underneath.
#6.) ESPN'S "ULTIMATE REMOTE". It's not cheap, but it's also not a normal remote control. For $300, it controls all of his electronics . . . gives him access to updated stats and scores . . . and even lets him browse the Internet.
#7.) THE GODFATHER TRILOGY. It's always a popular gift this time of year . . . and that's because 99% of men LOVE IT. A new version with more perks just came out, and you can buy it basically anywhere.

Top Ten Things Overheard at the White House
I was reading through my show prep last night when I came across this that was written by one of the very talented people at the service. I laughed so hard I almost wet myself. Here is the list of the top ten things heard at the White House when the President Elect met the current President.....Enjoy!
***TOP THINGS OVERHEARD AT PRESIDENT BUSH'S MEETING WITH BARACK OBAMA***
--Here, just take my wallet, but please don't hurt my family.
--But seriously, brother. Where's Osama?
--So, like how far can those ears actually hear?
--What do you mean I have to move?
--Obama, that's Irish, right? Like "O'Reilly" and "O'Hara", right?
--Hire that Colin Powell guy. You can get him to go along with ANYTHING.
--Hey, wanna see a hilarious video of Saddam being hung?
--Nice to meet you. My wife and I love your music.
--Look at us. Two guys . . . standing here . . . both of us hoping to achieve something as president.
--Obama? They told me I was hosting a president named "Elect".

Weekend without smoke
This past weekend my wife, daughter and I went to our old home in Marshfield for some visiting and R & R. We had a great time hanging with friends and going out for dinner and drinks. Except there was something missing. At first I couldn't put my finger on it but after two nights out at diners and bars I realized what it was.....NO SMOKE! The city of Marshfield like Madison and several other cities around the state have banned public smoking. Now, while I feel a little pity towards the smokers, I myself LOVE IT! For years we stopped going out because we always hated that coming home and having to shower before we went to bed just to avoid the dreaded smoky pillow syndrome. I respect a person's right to smoke as much as they want in private. However in public is a completely different animal. Smoking unlike drinking, eating, or other activities that are held in public effect everyone within the smell of your Camel. People suffer from asthma, allergies and other ailments that are often triggered by cigarette smoke. So what do you think? Should smokers be allowed to smoke wherever they want? Or so you think a public smoking ban is good for everyone. I'm sure of one think, it was the most enjoyable time I have had in a bar in a long time.

Fall Pub Crawl
At least once a year we like to get out with friends for a mini version of a "Pub Crawl". This past weekend we headed out with our friends the Johnsons and Carneys to hit some back road taverns around southern Wisconsin. With my wife as the designated driver we headed towards Theresa to get some cheese curds then east towards the lake. Along the way we stopped at various businesses to partake in libations. The common rule, one beverage, per stop, then move on. We had a great time and ended up at a new Irish Pub in Watertown that was great. Non-smoking and great atmosphsere. Here are some pictures of our tour.
Glory Days Bar in Waubeka
Our gang in Kewaskum
Cheese curds...what was left!
Mr Fritz's in Fredonia. We liked this place they had free popcorn!
Our stop for dinner in Delafield. Try the homemade Amber it's great!
A little bowling in Cooney, ok... maybe just a beer!
How about just a few tree pics!
A beautiful sunset to cap a great day!Monday, October 20, 2008
Favre the Legend
Well in case you missed it....A report from FOX Sports says that former Packers quarterback Brett Favre called the Detroit Lions a few days before the Packers played there and gave the Lions information on the Packers offense. Favre is denying the report and the Lions are saying no comment. Here is the story http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8694746/Sunday-Scoops:-Is-Favre-guilty-of-insider-trading?
If the story is true, than Favre looks like a spoiled brat who is a bitter man towards his former team. Until we know for sure we need to keep a cool head. I sure hope it is not true...because if it is then he can retire a New York Jet and let them retire his jersey.

Fall color tour
Every year my wife and I take a trip in October to celebrate our wedding Anniversary and to check out the fall colors. This years trek took us to Columbia, Sauk and Richland counties. It was a beautiful day for a drive and great to stop by local farmers markets and apple orchards. Sometimes I guess we overlook what we have in our own state. It sure is a great place to live and visit. Now I understand why people from other states like to visit here! Here are some of the sights that we saw.

Well here it is my first blog ever! So what should I write..........? Maybe something about my personal life or maybe something that is going on at the radio station? I'm not too sure where to start so here goes.
Let's start in an area I'm comfortable:
First off I would like to say what a beast Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is. If there are still any of you out there that don't think this guy is the the real deal you need you head examined. A shoulder that is killing him and he still throws fro over 300 yards and three TD's versus the Falcons.
Secondly my pick to win this years Dancing with the Stars is now offically out of the competition. Misty Mae Treanor went down with a torn Achilles Tendon (ouch)! She is done and so is my streak at correctly predicting the winner (last three in a row!)
Ok so let's talk about something other than sports. How about the economy. As I listen to all the doomsayers sling their opinons about how bad things are I keep thinking.....am I missing something? Just watch a profeesional or college sporting event. Do you see alot of empty seats? I was at the Badger game on Saturday night and there wasn't many empty seats. I also stood in line for 15 minutes to get my order of nachos. People were spending money like crazy and if the economy was so bad wouldn't people be cutting back on their entertainment? Gas prices are coming down now and soon food prices will start to back off as well. Hopefully everyone's 401k's will start to come back soon. I has a conversation with our station manager the other day about the economy and he said that the media is most responsible for scaring people into thinking things are so bleak. That is probobly true. It's human nature to beleive that something is worse than it actually is. While I realize that some people have lost their homes or had to cut back on their driving ask yourself this question. How many people do you know that have lost their house or haven't been able to send their kid to college because of the economy? My guess is there are not many.
