DR Matt H. will not be happy at this news!

The news broke yesterday, so I was fully aware of it. I actually wasn't bothered by it. All I think it does is prolong the agony by making folks feel torn over what format to go with. Both formats offer superb visual and audio capabilities, so you can't make a decision based on best picture and sound; they're equal.

I suspect lots of people just won't make a choice at all. They'll stick with what they have which for most folks looks good enough. DVD does look good, but with the best HD transfers, the differences can be astonishing.

Good morning!

It's going to be 99 here today. Rainfall in August has measured .01". What a terrible summer it has been.

I hate summer.

I'm not sure everyone has the same interpretation of the "rolling eyes" icon as I do, but this symbol --

-- means the following to me: (from Wikipedia)

Eye-rolling
Rotating the eyes upward may have the following meanings.

It may indicate condescension, contempt, boredom, or exasperation. The gesture is often referred to as "rolling one's eyes to Heaven," as though wishing for a divine intervention for a rescue from boredom or frustration. It may also be accompanied by a gesture of throwing one's head backwards.

How it's used is most important. If you're just perplexed about something in general, it is usually an impersonal symbol for exasperation.

If applied to a comment related to what someone else says, it's more personal and insulting, whether intended or not. IMO, of course.

First amusement park I can remember was the local county fair. I would have ridden the merry-go-round and the ferris wheel and probably the Scrambler.

My favorite all-time ride (apart from roller coasters) is the Tilt-a-Whirl. If you can get your car into the right rhythm, it's a heck of a fun ride.

T-C-B took the M-R-I in Tacoma U-S-A...

When docs got there, what did they see?

"A rotator cuff tear" said the young M.D.

(A HAIR reference...)

Today I'll watch a couple (maybe three) episodes of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. I'll also watch MY SISTER EILEEN, the 1942 Rosalind Russell version.

I'll give last night's SAVING GRACE a try, but I won't promise to watch the entire thing.

Of course, another new episode of DAMAGES comes on tonight.

Tonight is also the premiere of Kenneth Branagh's new version of AS YOU LIKE IT on HBO. It's been set in Japan, but the reviews have all said that it doesn't seem weird at all. I'm not sure I want to watch it.

High of 98 here, and 100 tomorrow, and not a drop of rain in sight.

We sure picked a good time to be moving!

You can call me and record the sound over your phone if you like.

I'll get my tea kettle ready.

That may be my final option....I will let you know.

We had no amusement parks in Southern Oregon when I was growing up, so it wasn't until I went to Knott's Berry Farm and Disneyland in 1977 that I experienced one. Don't recall the rides.

There is an amusement park in Portland. Washington Park. But it often gets raided by the police so I don't know what kind of rides they might have there.

Foggy here in Dakotaland....

I have read that it has been horridly dry and hot in the southeast. A gal I know from another board stated that it is extremely dry in Mississippi and Alabama.
