Sonoma County Seinfeld
November 19th, 2009 categories: Personal Notes
I read a lot of different articles each day, and when it comes to Blogs in general, many of the articles seem to be about absolutely nothing. And I wonder why I read some of these, then I had a thought…one of my favorite TV shows was admittedly about nothing; Seinfeld.
I normally write about subjects that are closely related to Sonoma County, and usually more specifically, Sonoma County Real Estate.
Seinfeld Cast - Jerry Seinfeld, Elaine Benes, George Costanza, Cosmo Kramer
I do not really watch a lot of TV anymore, and have not in quite some time. I suppose when they make a new Dukes of Hazard, or Seinfeld I will start watching again.
I was cruising around the Internet the other day and I was just looking at new laptops, not that I need one as mine works fine. So I was on the Dell website, and one of the color choices was a wood grain finish. I like wood grain finish in general, but this is really the first time I have seen it used on something that you would not want to be wood. I mean a wood dash in the car was luxury at one time, now, outside of some high end cars, it is a faux wood grain plastic extrusion. Anyway, why would anyone want a computer to appear to be made out of wood? Talk about high low tech.
I recently read that the National Christmas Tree was cut down in Arizona, and then will be trucked to Washington, D.C. after a tour of Arizona. The tree is a 75 Foot Blue Spruce. Does this seem crazy to anyone else? I understand it is a tradition, but there are a lot of trees between Arizona and Washington, D.C., and it seems kind of environmentally UNfriendly, with a 2,000 + mile carbon trail, especially being towed by a semi that probably gets no better than 7 miles per gallon.
I get emails for all sorts of offers. Last week I got an email from Joseph A. Banks (they sell mens clothing) and they were offering buy one suit, get another suit free, and also get 2 shirts and 2 ties for free as well. I have heard of buy 1 get 1 free…but not buy 1 get 5 free. Lowe’s has had fake Christmas Trees on sale for 2 weeks…even before Halloween. Prices seem to be falling everywhere, and it is obvious that retailers are fighting hard for your retail dollars. This is good for consumers…especially consumers with money.
With all of this stimulus, such as the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credits,what is going to happen to taxes? I can only assume they will increase. What happened to all of the flat tax rate promises and tax code simplification promises that were made by George Bush? I suppose it is just politics in general. I suppose we will never know if the politicians believe their promises, or if once they get in office they learn information that prohibits them from fulfilling their promises.
I am not so excited that it is getting dark so early now that we set our clocks back. I like the sunshine and time spent outside in nice weather rather than it getting dark at 6:00 PM.
I am out of random thoughts…for now!
Anyway…if you have any ideas for future articles, whether they are about Sonoma County California or even just random musings about nothing, please let us know.
