Ever wonder how your cable/satellite payment is broken down?

Yikes! I had no idea that Fox Sports was so powerful to be number 2. As for ESPN, I can understand but that amount a month from every subscriber is ridiculous.

Maybe FSN should consider providing EVERY game in HD for their premium!!

Outdoor baseball – It doesn’t get much better than this

I'm out raking the back yard, it's about 70 degrees and I get to watch baseball while I work BTW, Thome just hit a homer, 1-0 Twins!

DirecTV DVR Application for Blackberry Beta…

Pretty cool! I have used the mobile site many times but having a client app seems much nicer.

An awesome full moon!

Carolyn and I came upstairs from watching a movie and I couldn't believe how bright it was in our kitchen. It would be fun to go on a walk right now

It’s just sitting there…

Waiting to be stained this summer. Yikes.

A winter wonderland morning…

All of the trees were white this morning. It was pretty neat looking as we drove around town this morning.

After a disappointing loss I find humor…

"Farve" is currently a trending topic on Twitter. They spelled Brett's name the way it sounds, ha ha ha I had to find something to make light of the disappointment.

XM no longer going to be on DirecTV

This is just another nail in the coffin for Sirius/XM in my mind. Mel seems to be driving the company more and more away from every outlet possible.

I've had XM since 2001 and the only reason that I still have their service is for Opie & Anthony. My contract is up in February and I doubt I will re-up because of the new music royalty fees.

It has been sad seeing such a promising platform slowly become irrelevant. Many of my friends have already cancelled.

Car fire

I witnessed a car fire yesterday on 13 and Lynn. Talk about a bad day!

Christmas Decorations

Oh man, this is an awesome prank...

Well, there is good news and bad news about my Christmas decorations this year

Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take them down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down. First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost had a wreck when they drove by. Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn't realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard.

Kind of feel like I gave in to the man by taking them down but my neighbor did confirm to near miss accidents on the busy street next to my house. I think I made him too real this time

So it was fun while it lasted
