Already it is November 14th, 2010, and it seems like just yesterday it was 2009. As I get older it seems the days move by that much faster and I have to jump back and realize just how far along in my life I am. It’s easier when your younger to bot realize that time is slipping by, but as you age in your fifties, you seem to start to sense it more. You try to pack more into each day than you use to do and have half the energy to get through. Just a fact of life I would say.
Opened today’s Sunday paper and there began the Thanksgiving and Christmas sales ads already. the advertising starts earlier each year it seems, it’s like lets start earlier and we can get a jump on all the others. Little do they know people don’t have money so it will probably be a slow shopping season again this year. The economy is bed and the number of people out of work is crazy. I firmly believe we need a New Deal again. It doesn’t matter if your Republican or Democrat someone needs to find a way to inject and create some jobs soon, or we shall slip over the edge into depression and it is not far away.
Onward then next subject, video game systems. I have seen all of them at Game Stop and the other stores, they range from PlayStation3, Xbox360, to the Wii by Nintendo. Each is now coming out with their own wireless playing operation system. The best of these hands free, wireless system in my opinion is Microsoft’s KInnect. The Kinnect hooks up to the X-box360 and a wall socket and then comes on when you turn on X-box360. It scans your body movements up to 8 feet away and follows everything you do. It is fun, and exercising for all and has family games for it. I plan on using it for Thanksgiving when company comes over, it should go over big.
A closing thought for today, on November 11th, 2010 Veteran’s Day, I a disabled veteran myself, noticed few Veteran’s out there in public. The reason if anyone wants to guess or think about it is simple, most Veteran’s do not want to talk about their service years or what they did. But America owes them for the time they served, and the Veterans in this country did things no one else would do to keep us all free. So, this year when you settle in with your families for Thanksgiving and then Christmas or Hanukah, or what ever you wish to call your Holiday Season, stop and remember over seas somewhere doing a duty no one wants to do to keep you free are the men and women of the U. S. Military!
