Today I made my weekly trip to the grocery store. I go on Wednesday every week because at the Kroger grocery store on Wednesday they give an extra 10% off for senior citizens. One of the few times it pays to be getting old. The only thing wrong with this great deal is that you are surrounded by a bunch of old people walking slow and trying to decide what kind of fiber that they need this week. I know I am old but I still walk briskly and I know what I want from the grocery store before I get there. It takes me 37 minutes to get my food and get back to the truck any more than that and I am wasting part of my day and at my age you do not want to be wasting any part of your precious days that you have left.

With a bit of trepidation I will have to admit that I watched most of the Academy Awards on Sunday. I am not sure I want anyone to know that I wasted one whole night on this junk. I have not seen any of the movies that were up for the awards. Only one of them looked even a little bit interesting to me, Crazy Heart, with Jeff Bridges is the only one that even interested me slightly. I will wait for it to make its rounds at the dollar theaters and then I want to go see it. The award won by Mr Bridges was well deserved and I applaud his toast to his long dead parents when he gave his acceptance speech. Well done Mr Jeff Bridges I salute you.

While watching CNN this morning I watched a very disturbing story about air traffic controllers taking their kids to work. I am not against kids seeing what their parents do for work, what I am against is kids endangering the lives of the people their parents are charged with protecting. Not only should the air traffic controller be fired for allowing his child to interact with air planes but he should be arrested and sent to prison. This folly could of lead to a air plane crash and the innocent people on the planes did nothing to be placed in danger like this and it really makes me angry.

Today Johnny Cash the man in black would of turned 78. The world of music and I mean all music lost a great star when he died. I have always been a huge fan of Johnny Cash and I really like the work he did with the Highwaymen. I drive by his old house out by the lake that has since burned down and it makes me very sad to see it sit empty the whole Cash family has added so much to music and to the Nashville area it can not be understated. Happy Birthday to the man in black.

This is to hope that our winter here in Middle Tennessee is almost over and we can get on with the business of spring time. We have received so much snow this year that the city has used all of its salt for the roads that it had in reserve, so if we get any more ice or snow we will have no more salt to put on the roads to help the cars rust. This is a tragedy that I blame on our idiot mayor, Karl Dean. Let us hope that he is a one term mayor and goes back to what ever he was doing before he decided to ruin Nashville.
