It's good to be back in L.A.!  But after a mere 14 days back in the Southern Illinois in a small town outside of St Louis Missouri I've discovered that my love for Los Angeles has returned after being absent for many years due to some unreasonable fear of living in a largely populated metropolis.  I would call it Metrophobia but apparently that's a fear of poetry... must have been a cityboy that came up with that...

Anywho... While I was in Alton/Wood River Illinois I decided to blog at myfox St Louis and my picture was even placed on the blog page a couple of times!  I kind of like the picture of me cause it hides the fact that I have no chin.  And the image presents an aspect of humor that I try to maintain most of the time.  Not all issues are humorous and I think one of our mistake as a culture is to find humor in everything.

Last Anywho... Now that I'm back in Los Angeles blogging with a most famous group of myfox bloggers who are known at the other myfox blog sites around the nation I just wanted to say I missed you guys.  We have here at myfox Los Angeles blogs a more personal touch then most other myfox blog sites.  Many times here you'll actually get a chance to conversate a bit with the reporters that work on the local news.   From what I've seen this happens here more than the other myfox blog sites with the exception of myfox philly.

Something about writing to folks that you might see on the street that day gives me a boost inside.  I find this blog thing to be very theraputic... and an article in some science journal backs that up... oh heck let me google that... Yes, yes my father showed me the article in "Scientific American" entitled "Blogging--It's Good for You" and I won't post a link so google it if you're interested.  Already this morning I'm feeling a bit better... had horrible jet lag from having to spend the night in the Denver Airport due to bad weather so of course, no hotel spif.

I never thought I'd say it's good to be back in Los Angeles.  So my fellow bloggers and staff of Fox News LA who may be reading... please know that you guys are a big part of the reason I feel that way.  Please also have a look at the blogs I wrote at the myfox St Louis and do post some thing in them if I interest or anger you.  After all... it's theraputic.

Hey Dfd and dasvics,

I remember afreak storm coming through Wood River Illinois where the wind and rain pounded the three story apartment building I was living in. Living on the top level I opened all the windows to even out the pressure and stood in the doorway of the windowless bathroom. Power was out for 5 days and the city looked like a war zone afterwords.

Got to know alot of the neighbors and had a nice barbque the next night as everyone brought out there thawed meat. Stone soup...

Statueman:

Ever been to Murphysboro or Carbondale? Thanks to the university and the federal government, Carbondale's a relatively big city now, compared to Murphysboro, my home town, which is just a shadow of what it was 50 years ago when Carbondale was just a wide spot in the road.

You know... I went to Edwardsville for a minute after the Army. Never made it down Carbondale way... as far as I can remember anyway.

I went to Champaign Urbana when I was fresh out of Alton High...

I've heard of Edwardsville. I even went to a movie theater their recently and this tall guy sitting next to me kept falling asleep and eating copious amounts of popcorn. Occasionally he would pass a barrel of popcorn towards me. I declined the nice gesture. I was afraid I might take the most buttery popcorn and then things might get ugly. But I had a good time. I felt safe(they have highschoolers with flashlights as security).

I'm a retired vet who loves to come up with donut shop solutions through soup kitchen prophecies. My goal is to encourage the growth of alternative sentencing through "habilitation" programs. These quiet unsung organizations need our quiet unsung support. (Edit May 24, 2008, Of course since then I've been getting into more interesting material.) _________________________
I don't delete comments in my blogs as I don't like it when folks delete mine. (Edit June 11, 2008 - I have and will delete posts argueing about interpretation of scripture.)(Edit August 18, 2008 - I've decided too delete the comments of folks who continually use offensive name calling.) _________________________
OK... all predictions deleted since Mc Cain did'nt win. Brook White did'nt win Idol and Hillary did'nt drop out of the election. Congratulations to us all on a new President. The first President to be only hafe white as far as we all know. But it's ok the sepratist have been predicting an invasion of mongrel hordes and let's hope they took their can openers to their caves. After all... this really is a free country.
