Been lookin' through the TV listings and there's nothing worth watching. I'm fairly sure last week was "Sweeps Week" but I've never before noticed a fall-off of decent programming the week after such as this.
Anyway, reminded me of this old Springsteen tune.

Storm on 282
Rain squall crossing Hwy 282, north of Pampa.
Odd little storm; it popped up suddenly and with great severity, the local radar showing a small mass of yellow and red around a knot of orange. I once read that the avg. thunderstorm is only ten square miles and this one looked to be of average size but intense. We got a bit of rain, but most of it pushed on off to the east of town.

No Flag Decals on Rosebud

Who's The Boss?
As I got on the 'net earlier, the first thing I saw was the headline: "The Boss is Dead". My initial thought was "Oh heck, Bruce Springsteen has died!". Instead, it was announcing the passing of the Yankee's owner George Steinbrenner.
To be honest, I don't/didn't care all that much for either "Boss". Springsteen has been so outspoken about issues on which I disagree with him that it's hard to listen to his music without thinking of the idiotic things he's said.
I'm also not a huge baseball fan, but follow the Rangers and dislike the Yankees for consistently beating them although I didn't hold that against Steinbrenner, a man who seems to be the most hated in his own team's city, despite the success he brought to the town. Other than reading the occasional article on his blockbuster moves and assorted controversies, the man was off my own personal headlines radar. The only times other than those I was reminded of him was on old Seinfeld reruns.
There's only one other boss that I can think of and it's a snow plow.
That said, it got me to wondering just really who IS "The Boss".
Didn't take me long to come to the answer:
Wild or Mild?
My results should probably also have this disclaimer:
"With sociopathic tendencies"
You Are Mild |
 You get as many thrills as wild people do, however your thrills tend to be more of the laid back variety. You believe that the deeper you get into something, the more you enjoy it. And you need calm to do that. You are one of the least superficial people around. You have intense and passionate interests. You don't get bored easily. How could you? There is so much to learn about and think about! |
