Good morning, all! I hope you are all doing well on this fine day. The weather is nice in Denver today. Mostly sunny and temps in the upper 50's are predicted for this afternoon.
I am up early this morning. I was awokened (?) at 7:30 this morning by a phone call from the installers that are installing Dish TV for me today. I know that many of you had to work the graveyard shift and many, too, was up much earlier than me. However, this is early for me since I am retired and have MS. I tend to sleep later in the day and it takes me a while to get to sleep at night. I'm sure that to some extent, my late sleeping has become an acquired taste over time and I have to say that I do enjoy it. Still, today I have to be up for the installers to do their job.
Finally! I am cutting the cord with cable tv and moving my business to the dish! Comcast has gotten way too expensive and now that I am on a fixed income, it is completely unaffordable. Enter the Dish. This afternoon I will have free HD on two tv's, a DVR recorder that works on both tv sets and many more channels to not watch than Comcast has to offer. I can't wait!
Today is also a special day in that it is also my lovely wife's birthday. Today she is 29 years old and is more beautiful than the first moment I saw her. Happy birthday, baby!
Now, on to the wanderings of my mind.
I don't quite understand sour cream. Granted, I've never even tasted it so I might have a jaded opinion about it, but I can't understand what made someone want to taste it to begin with. I am guessing that it is made from milk and made from the cream that has gone sour, thus, sour cream. Now, when milk goes sour I know that only a dummy would drink it. Essentially, this is the same product; milk is cream. Milk goes sour and cream goes sour. When the milk is soured, your throw it out. When the cream is soured, why would you want to eat it? You are basically eating soured milk. I just don't understand. In an attempt to be fair, I did look up how sour cream is made, but that only confused me more. Nowhere did it say that sour cream tastes good. I prefer margarine anyway.
So I called Comcast to get my service downgraded to basic cable so that I can better get my budget inline. I asked them how much my bill would be after the downgrade. They might as well have been the cable company in this video because they said it would only lower my bill by $30 a month. Currently, I am paying $260 a month. So, guess what I got today. That's right! The Dish! I will be saving $150 a month and I have more programming.
