Oh yeah!
Yeah baby, it's Bossa Nova Time!
Oh to be able to actually dance like that! Who am I foolin'? I can't even dance to anything faster than a slow waltz. Sort of.
Anywho, back to the grindhouse.
While I was trying to figure out what to write for today, it suddenly dawned on me, well, not suddenly, since I was perusing my published post list, that this is post #250 for this here blog and post #1554 for all six Blogger blogs. While I don't do much in the way of blog anniversaries anymore (seriously, after 8 1/2 years of blogging), I figure this should count for something special, since writing that many freakin' posts for a blog that came into being only 2 years ago is quite an accomplishment for me.
I won't bore you with the gruesome details, so if you wants them, click on the link in the preceding paragraph, but suffice to say I am pretty gosh darn proud of what I've been able to do with my blogging. But enough about that, 'cause repetitiveness is not really a good thing to for a blog post, unless your brain has gone to mush.
So now, for something completely different.
Feel free to hate me now, 'cause Father Nature is pimping a nasty winter for 2015, and what better way to get everyone annoyed than to post a pic from a previous winter. Besides, if retail stores can pimp back to school sales two weeks after school ends, Halloween in August as well as Thanksgiving and Christmas, then this blog can go directly to winter w/o stopping at Autumn or saying bub-bye to Summer.

Only Elvis could carry those moves off, anyone else doing it would look ridiculous. And thank you for the reminder that winter is on it's way. Here in Az that snow scene is about as likely as me ever claiming to love opera music!
ReplyDeleteI first heard this song on a college radio station earlier this year, and although I do like Elvis, I like the songs that aren't overkilled on radio, such as this one.
DeleteThe Old Farmer's Almanac is forecasting a nasty winter for CT this year, so I figure I get a jump on things a few months early. :D
Congratulations on 250 posts.
ReplyDeleteI'll take some cold weather about now. So humid today...
Thanks.
DeleteAnd you ain't foolin' about the humidity. It's positively brutal today with temps in the 90's. Definitely stayed indoors today.
You're already anticipating a nasty winter! I guess I need to look to see if you mention where you live (I did—it’s New England). Here in the Willamette Valley, we're just hoping for an end to drought and forest fires. Snow is a rarity here, although we can see it by looking toward the mountains.
ReplyDeleteI haven’t heard the Bossa Nova in years and years—decades and decades even—but when I was a kid I thought it was a sophisticated song.
Our winters as of late have been exceptionally brutal for the amount of snowfall and for the distinct lack of intelligent snow plowing.
DeleteI'm not much on the old dance songs, so when I a good remix that doesn't remind me of a Warner Bros cartoon, it sticks with me for quite a while.
That's a lot of blogging. I'll have to see what I'm up to
ReplyDeleteSad but true.
DeleteSince spending almost 20 years living in Scotland I'm quite used to being snowed in and cut off for many days during snowstorms. It's quite beautiful at first but soon becomes tiresome. Especially for the oldies, such as this old codger.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on that. There is a kind of peacefulness when you're standing outside watching it come down at first, but if you're getting slammed with multiple snow storms it does bite. The worst I've been snowbound was about two days. We got blasted with a storm that dropped about a foot or more inland and took about that long just get someone to plow out our driveway.
DeleteI realized I have been blogging for 10 years!! Mon dieu.
ReplyDeleteWe're supposed to have a colder than average winter. Which, for this ridiculous area, means if we get snow, the entire metro area closes.
That's what they're saying for us this year. Roughly 2+ years ago we got socked with over 150 inches of total snow. Took everyone until mid to late March to dig out.
DeleteWell, if you tack on my time spent in the chat rooms, I've been lurking in the cyberworld for 9 1/2.
