Some days it seems like there is a never ending rotation of the same episodes of the same shows. Yawn. When I find a few hours to sit back and watch the TV I spend most of my time flicking through mainly commercials. Click, click, click.

I remember I used to like watching TV. I remember certain shows I couldn't miss. It seems there are fewer and fewer of those classic shows and an awful lot of filler. Or maybe I am just getting older and they aren't geared towards me anymore.

I tried to make a list of fav's but it was pretty empty.

I love Scare Tactics:They just started playing that on brighthouse sci-fi channel 39 at 10pm tonight, That show is hilarious, if you haven't seen it, watch it.

To catch a thief , The deadliest catch and Ice road trucker shows are a few I like.

Are there any shows you make a point to watch? Anything you really like but didn't think you would? Anything you hate

This morning when my husband left for work I did what I usually do, follow him out to give him a kiss goodbye. This morning, I wasn't paying much attention and he said "Inside Inside now" I didn;t know what he was on about but went back inside.

When I got inside I looked out the window-and there he was. Some dude. Just there. Sitting across the street on one of those electrical boxes facing my house. Sitting. Very odd. Swinging his feet casually. Very odd. We know he doesn't live there, not on my block I'm sure, he was a pretty big fellow. He stayed there, then got up, wandered down the street, standing a few houses away at the corner. Arms crossed, Just there. Just standing. I wonder if he had any idea how intimidating he is? Just standing there........

My husband didn't want to leave. We live in a residential neighborhood. I have always felt safe here. I'm careful nonetheless. I don;t open the door to strangers. I try to keep my doors and windows locked. I have a pretty good shot and wouldn't be afraid to use it if I needed to. Regardless, this man really intimidated me, He didn't do anything, or say anything, but just by being there, a public place I suppose he has every right to be, it still has left me with an uneasy feeling. 

This uncomfortable uneasiness has settled over me, and I find myself wondering where he wandered off to, listening carefully at every little noise, being paranoid I suppose. Will he return? Was he just waiting for my husband to leave? Was he just coincidentally there? All of these thoughts play through my mind.

I suppose it doesn't take alot these days to make me uncomfortable. Something as simple as a stranger, carelessly swinging his feet, casually relaxed, is it just me? What about you? Does it take much for your level of comfort to be swayed into uneasiness?

I was looking at the 4th of July Holiday Festival, Tehachapi's Official Guide to the 4th of July Holiday A Special Supplement to The Loop.

Did anyone else notice the photograph on page 6. The caption below it reading "In 1856 the handful of settlers in tehachapi Valley arrived in wagons and on horseback to celebrate the area's first Independence Day celebration. "

IS that a Chevy in the background? LOL
