Well school started on Monday following the summer holiday, so everyone says now is a good time to go on vacation.  The kids will be out again for two weeks in April, and it's a four day holiday for workers starting with Good Friday and ending with Easter Monday. 

And the flies have been so much better - much, much fewer of them, starting about a month ago. The difference is amazing and being outside is so much more pleasant now.  They really didn't last all that long, we had been told by someone that they'd be around until April, but thankfully that appears not to be the case.

Well now that we've had our cable T.V. for a while, it is interesting to say the least.  Some of the shows are incredibly old, like Bonanza and Combat.  I remember by dad watching that one when I was a little kid.  Then there are many of the Gomer Pyle, The Wonder Years and The Roseanne Show vintage, and these are on lots of different channels, not just one like Nickolodean.  And the shows start and end at odd times, like one might start at 6:04 and end at 6:25.  Luckily we have the ability to easily tape shows and then just zoom through the commercials, although they do not have nearly as many as they do in the US.  And I understand about reruns, but today Oprah was talking about the upcoming election, and I was wondering what she meant, when she said something about remembering to vote in the presidential election on November 4 - that was in 2008!
