Vacation Blogging Day 3

Started reading Blowback by Brad Thor. Thanks to the good folks over at Atria books for sending it to me here at the Shackleford summer home on the beautiful banks of the Rio de Los Angeles gratis.

Read a chapter on the treadmill. Yeah, I know, freakin pathetic.

Argued with Hugh Hewitt. He e-mailed me saying to call him back and we'll duke it out again. Nice try Hugh, there's a reason I write. He'd clean my clock in a verbal debate. Hands. Down.

You know that the college town that I live in doesn't have talk radio? Seriously. The first day in town I asked a local where I could tune into Rush Limbaugh. He said, Rush Lim-who? And I'm not even a big Rush fan, but every podunck town gets Rush, right? Hell, I spent half of me drive through Missouri trying to find an AM station that wasn't Rush Limbaugh. Much of the day found me blubbering like a baby, so overjoyed by the fact that Dennis Prager was on.

High point of the day: Fox 11 in Los Angeles plays the Simpsons twice a night. Twice! With King of the Hill wedged between the two episodes!! Lawdy, how I do miss LA.

2 My family has been in SoCal for over 120 years and none of us ever heard of "Rio Los Angeles". Can not find it on any of my maps. Where is it? Is it near the Patton estate? Near Pasadena? Kukomonga? Azusa?

3 ^^That would be the Los Angeles River...maybe it isn't Atzlan yet, after all! Actually the Simpsons is on three or four times a night! 1830, 1930, and then 2300 and maybe even something after that. I am not too sure, as my parents don't find that show as acceptable as I do...
