Wee Little Accident-Prone Snowchild

We have had very little snow so far this winter. So one of our wee little neighbor children made a wee little snowman, so wee that I'd say he is more of a snowlad or snowchild. Anyway, speaking of wee, it looks like the snowchild had himself a wee little accident as you can see from the picture below.


Probably best to just blame it on a wee little neighbor dog.

Commercial-Free Blogging

So I listen to NPR a lot. I won’t get into the liberals versus the non-liberals: I’ll save that for my other blog (the one where no one gets my jokes). Anyway, NPR is always asking for money (one day when they stop getting tax dollars I promise to start paying them a donation). The other thing they always do is proudly proclaim to be commercial-free. But here is the thing: they aren’t really commercial-free. Instead of “advertisers” who pay “fees” to radio stations to place “commercials” for their products, NPR has “supporters” who “donate” money and get to share a “message” about their products on air.

If you can tell me a real difference that isn’t more than arguing a fine semantic line, then I’d love to hear it. No actually I don’t want to hear it: keep it to yourself because they are the same thing.

I have heard about this Herman Melville chair probably a thousand times, including the Aeron “true black” chair, whatever that is (must be better than fake black [or Herman Mellvile true white whale?]). And about Tsunami’s sushi specials. I have to admit it is starting to wear me down. I might get myself a nice lounge chair to eat some sushi in while I listen to NPR. Except I can’t give in, you know out of principle or something.

Look NPR, I get it; you need the money. So I say quit the charade and embrace your model. No one is saying you have to sell out: sell in. I just want you to fess up and quit the commercial-free act because no one is buying (maybe I will try that sushi place after all).

This blog is brought to you commercial free (because no one will pay to advertise here).
