Cow Television?

I set the alarm for about 6:30, which is way earlier than I want to get up and especially unrealistic if I stayed up late blogging the night before. The alarm is set to radio because that beeping thing it does scares me, but the NPR station won't come in on that radio. No antenna. So I set it to a country music station (Because Andy isn't home. He prefers waking up to the alarm on two different palmtop computers that are set to play The Flight of The Bumblebee in their little beepy voices).

So, this morning I woke to half consciousness with the agro-news report. Pork bellies are doing this and corn is doing that... Then the guy starts talking about heifers. There's some kind of sale on and if you tune into channel 200 or something on your dish network you can see the sale. Anybody out there have the farm animal shopping network? I think that might actually be somewhat entertaining.

Farm Animal Shopping Network? Now that sounds like it would provide hours of entertainment!! I'm checking for it now!

That's fun-I can't use the radio setting to wake up because everytime I do, the voices just blend into my dreams and I wake up hours later.

Though, I'm much more informed than when I went to sleep.

I have our alarm set to the all Christmas music for the next month. Hopefully we wake up to Feliz Navid! Thanks for stopping by ann's art! I'll be posting some new stuff soon. I'm going to reading your blog and catching up on everything. Have a great week.

Matt-man: It does sound kind of lewd.

Sandee: Thanks. You too!

Katherine: Some people count sheep... cows would probably work too.

Steven: They have everything in NY.. except cows. They need cows.

Mags: You could record stuff you wanted to memorize and play it to yourself in your sleep... I should try that.

Ann: You have a really cool blog there. I can't seem to find an all Christmas music station... though they do play the odd Christmas carol on the country station... usually by Dolly Parton, but I like Dolly.

Too funny. My cousin lives in rural Connecticut (it still exists), where there are livestock auctions every week. She tells stories straight out of Beverly Hillbillies. The kids go in the summer; she kills the cable because that's more fun!
