The Day I Thought the World Ended

Wednesday, October 26, 2011 is the day I thought the world has ended. I had heard that my favorite radio DJs, Tony Lynn and Myles were let go from KBQI, the Big I. Chuck Hammond says it's due to low ratings and low budget. Tony & Myles had low ratings?? How can that be? How can they be 'popular' radio DJs just about everytime they were mentioned? They had been with the station since it's inception 10 years ago. Without them that radio station wouldn't exist. Clear Channel has a 'classic' country station that no one seems to listen to. Everyone seems to listen to the Big I or KRST. So why did that station stay and the guys let go? I think it's something else that got them 'fired.' But they won't say and probably won't. They use the low ratings as an excuse. They are searching for new DJs for the morning job. These DJs have to be way better than Tony and Myles to have me listening to them. Right now, I listen to another staiton which isn't country. But if I need my country fix I turn on the internet and listen to Alana Lynn, (Tony's daughter). She's a morning DJ in Boise, Idaho. She started out her radio career with her dad at the Big I. I can't listen to KRST morning crew. Sorry, I didn't like their program as it's too adult for me. Tony & Myles had more of a 'family' program.
Well, that said, I will miss the guys and hope that they are on to better things. Thursday morning came and the world went on. And it's still going. So I guess it's not coming to an end, yet.

Where I Live

Last night I went to the Halloween dinner/party at Montano Chapel for Academy Heights ward. My sister told us about it and I took my mom with me.
My sister told everyone she could "here's my inactive sister." Yeah, inactive in Academy Heights ward. I don't attend the ward as I don't live in the ward boundaries. That's the reason I don't attend. My home teachers back when I left told me that I don't live in the boundaries so they can't be my HTs any more. My bishop said he can't help me any more. So every now and then I get people telling me to "go back to church." "It's not good to skip church and be a good Saint." Even some of the former missionaries told me to go back to church!! Hello! I am going to church, just not at Academy Heights! I didn't know I am suppose to check in with them that I attended church, read my scriptures and said my prayers.
These people need to pay more attention to themselves instead of worrying when I will be at church. If the #157 bus ever runs on Sundays, I will be there so they will be happy that I go to church. Until then, they will have to deal with the fact I go to another ward. I didn't think I have to report in for that either. Come on people, I don't question you about your church attendance. Or if you read your scriptures or said your prayers! Aren't we responsible for ourselves? Can I say "Mind your own business."?

Scary Larry

Yesterday morning I went to take my niece to work. As I was driving the car went weird on me. I had no idea what was going on. I thought maybe I was suppose to take my usual route which is take Candelaria all the way up to Juan Tabo and then south to Central. This time around I decided to take Menaul all the way up to Juan Tabo. Just for a change in scenery. Besides, I hit all the school zones on Candelaria. For some reason this year the elementary schools start much earlier than they usually do. I guess each school has that option. Well, back to my driving. I went over the railroad tracks when I started to hear a beep noise. At first I thought it was on the radio. I turned off the radio and didn't hear the beep any more. Oh, I hadn't heard that sound on that song before. Tells me that I don't listen very well. Then the beep comes back and this time there was a red light somewhere on the dash that I didn't know what it was as it flashed really quick. Then the door locks clicked as if I was starting out and it automatically locks the doors. Then the beep, the red light and the clicks. I thought, is there a ghost that got into the car. I looked in the back and there wasn't anyone there. Duh, you can't see ghosts!! So I started to talk to them. Then the beep, red light and locks click again. Then the light that says the door is open came on!! OMG, what is going on? So I decided to call my brother and let him know the car was doing funny things. I told him that I don't know if the car is going to die out but to be prepared to come rescue me no matter where I am. Then he told me that when I get to Juella's place, turn off the car. Maybe it needs to reset itself. Oh, ok. So I kept on going and the same thing keeps going on and that light wasn't going to turn off either. Now I am thinking that I should drive on a less busy street in case the car dies. As I am driving trying to think of a place to drive on, it dawned on me that I had to scrape the ice off the windows! I had to get the ice scraper out of the back seat. I tried to open the back door but it wouldn't open!! Frozen shut!
I guess when I went over the railroad tracks it opened the door (thawed out by then). So the beep was warning me of the door open. Never knew that would do that. So getting to Wyoming I decided that I better pull off the road and close the door. I was laughing as I saw the back door was open. I shut it and went on my way laughing at what happened.
After getting to Juella's place I called my brother and told him what happened. He thought that was pretty funny. I was relieved because I didn't want to be in the car when it breaks down. Already happened and didn't like it.
BTW, the ice scraper that was suppose to be in the back seat wasn't even there!! It was in the trunk!!

Oh My

Just like that, my world has been turned upside down!! It won't ever be the same as before, so I gotta move on from this point on. Lot of praying and hoping all turns out for the better.
