August 1sec everyday video

 Pretty late. Almost forgot to do this...

And the day-by-day:

1. How the new hubbing situation breaks down. Jury is still out on how I feel about this change at work, since it really hasn't ACTUALLY gone into effect. It was supposed to start 8/14. But, as with so many things, corporate counted their chickens a bit early...

2. The band at Shadow Ridge was practicing at 6 in the morning on my walk. They were playing "Sail" when I filmed this.

3. Filling up the gas tank. The word of the day was, apparently, Taradiddle. (For the record, blogger has that word underlined.)

4. The satellite dishes outside the station.

5. Finally got our July Road Kill Grill food. :)

6. Jump rope!

7. Delivering pizzas, I guess? Based on my shirt, I'd say that was what I was doing.

8. We got to babysit Boo for a few days.

9. Silas and I played "It Takes Two" for a bit. We broke the game, lol.

10. Last day with Boo.

11. The control room.

12. Abed, bathing.

13. Birds on my walk.

14. I FINALLY set up my second monitor at home. (not fully set up correctly yet, but at least it's plugged in)

15. Feeding chipmunks at the mountain.

16. Domino's day.

17. First TNL game of the season.

18. Hurricane Hillary stuff was on in the background, as I was at work, getting ready to go to Dominos. Again.

19. The million-to-one shot. I threw the darts in the garage. All of the darts hit the board, except that one that hit the wall... AND a spider. Freaking crazy.

20. About the extent of the Hurricane Hillary rain we got.

21. The soda rack at Dominos.

22. A Beatles song was the song of the day, so I got myself a Pepsi. :)

23. A bat was hanging out near our front door. About ten minutes after I filmed this, it flew away, scaring the crap out of me and Steph.

24. Construction outside the TNL game.

25.An outdated pencil! KVBC.com no longer exists.

26. 83333 miles isn't REALLY a milestone, but I recorded it anyway.

27. Playing Sorry with Steph and Silas. (Si won)

28. Bowling at Round 1. Fun! Loud, but fun.

29. Ori!!

30. A nice surprise for Steph.

31. - Rain clouds out in Boulder City, where tonight's TNL game took place.

the lyrics are too long to fit into the comment section so:

A long, long time ago, I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while

But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died

So, bye, bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"

Did you write the Book of Love?
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in rock 'n' roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Well, I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Then I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died

I started singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie"
Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"

Now for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me

Oh, and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lennon read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died

We were singin', "Bye-bye Miss American Pie"
Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"

Helter Skelter in the summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and fallin' fast
It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast

Now, the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?

We started singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie"
Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye
And singin', "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"

Oh, and there we were, all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died

He was singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie"
Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye
And singin', "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play

And in the streets, the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died

And they were singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie"
Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry
And Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"

They were singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie"
Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that I die"
