Wordless Wednesday Oh oh it’s a road block … I wonder who’s going to back up? Logic says it’s the crocodile since there’s only one of him, but the laws of nature tell me it would be the turtles who would dive off into the water to make room for the big predator. What do you think?

Moving to Las Vegas?
Did you know that over 5000 people pick up and move to Las Vegas every single month? I never realized that that many people moved there each month. That’s amazing. Well, I guess everyone is moving there since there are so many opportunities for people in Vegas and because it’s probably a fun place to live.
The Las Vegas real estate must just be booming with everyone renting or purchasing homes. I know a few people who have moved to Las Vegas but they never really said much about having any difficulty finding a home or whether it was really expensive or not. That’s probably a good sign that there are a lot of places available in a range of prices I guess.
It pays to be a light bulb changer in Birmingham
Changing a light bulb in Birmingham is getting expensive – the cost is now over 90,000 pounds. News that a council street and traffic lights engineer received 91,000 pounds for 2005/2006 including overtime bonuses, even though he was off sick, caused an uproar. Apparently the average pay in Britain is about 23,000 pounds a year.
Birmingham City Council’s Alan Rudge said he intended to stamp out the practice of workers getting bloated pay packets. Earlier this month, Birmingham council came under fire when news leaked that some road workers, whose job was to paint white lines on the city’s streets, earned 1,000 pounds a week.
Wow, maybe I should move to Birmingham England and get a job working for the city?
Almost changed to Satellite TV today
I’ve had quite the day! Earlier today we had a cable company technician here for three, yes three hours! We had to call the company the other night because we noticed that some of the shows were were taping or just plain watching were getting digital interference. Sometimes it was so bad that the picture totally pixilated and you couldn’t tell what the actors were saying. It was terrible.
Ever since we moved here we’ve had problems with the signal. Apparently the cabling or equipment in our area is very old and that results in the houses in the area getting poor cable and even internet signals. They’ve known about the problem for several years now. This is not the first time we’ve had a tech here for two, three or even four hours trying to fix the problem or at least manipulate the equipment enough to get a slightly better signal. This is starting to make my stomach Churn, I’m so frustrated.
I swear earlier today we were thinking about switching to satellite TV instead. I figure that’s got it’s own particular set of problems though so I’ll wait a while and see how the work that was done today works out.
