The End of an Era?
We’re still really enjoying our new SoundBar. It really takes care of our low volume problems, something that several of our blog readers have also had, on both DirecTV and Dish.
The only problem is that it only comes with one remote, where Jan and I both want our own. So not being able to buy an additional one online, I decided to buy one of these.
It’s a $7 Learning Remote that can learn any IR code just by pointing it at your original remote. Now we won’t have to fight over the only one.
Jan and I headed out about 2pm to have lunch, really breakfast, at the Victory Lakes Denny’s, but we detoured about 4 miles up Hwy. 6. Rather than make a special trip out in the RV somewhere to get propane before we leave, I thought it would just be easier to leave on our trip an hour or so early to take care of it.
A while back while we were driving up to Alvin I noticed a place called HOPS Propane. They have a large yard, but I wanted to be sure that I could get in and out, and that they could fuel up our rig.
They said there would be no problem, so we’ll try to be there a few minutes after they open at 9pm. Then I should be able to hook up the truck before we head out.
On the way up there, I dropped Jan off at the Dollar General, and then picked her up on the way back.
Like our last time at Denny’s, we both got breakfast again, and the same thing too. Jan got her Omelet with Tomatoes, Onions, and Mushrooms, Fruit and a English Muffin.
I got the Two Eggs Over Medium, Four Strips of Bacon, Fruit, and an English Muffin.
Just as delicious as usual. I think breakfast is our favorite meal, or at least our favorite menu.
Next we stopped right next door so Jan could get a new pair of pink sneakers for our upcoming trip. Then after getting gas at WalMart for $2.66/gal., we headed home.
It’s the end of a era.
It was announced today that the Miss America Pageant is no longer a ‘pageant. It’s now a ‘competition’. And in making these changes they’re losing a few things. Like the Swim Suit competition AND the Evening Gown competition.
So instead of the Swim Suit contest, there will be a ‘live, interactive session with the judges’.
Now that’s going to be ‘Must See TV’.
And replacing the Evening Gown parade, the contestants are being told to wear whatever makes them comfortable, and discuss their chosen ‘social impact initiatives’ So sweats and a torn T-shirt?
Boy, this sounds just riveting, doesn’t it?
Jan says “Guys watch for the Swim Suits, and women watch for the Evening Gowns. Who’s going to watch now?”
I give it 2 more years, max. Maybe only one.
