  1. The last I've read, there's still no radio station in Albany proper that's carrying the Bills. A station in Glens Falls just picked them up, but the signal isn't strong enough to reach us. Our CBS affiliate usually shows the Jets, so I guess it's via the Internet.

     

    Yes, I know....Sunday ticket. Can't make room in the budget right now.

  2. Okay, so I'm gonna give away how much of a nerd I am here... but Isaac Asimov wrote a great book on the paradox of altering time, "End of Eternity." Pick up a copy right away, because I understand that Hollywood is going to butcher it into a film soon, like it did with "I, Robot." Another good one is Ray Bradbury's "A Sound of Thunder," which was already been ruined by a small movie studio a few years ago.

  3. Whenever I hear or read "Bichon" all I can think of is the song by Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, "Underage Bichon". :wallbash:

     

     

     

    Tell me about it! Our dog was totally insulted when he heard that. Complained for weeks. Now he barks at the TV every time Triumph is on. I have to tell him to chill.

  4. Rescued a 2 year old bichon frise/mutt mix from the shelter. He's ~21 pounds, so twice the size of a "real" bichon frise.

     

    Here's his picture before we had him groomed (he looks tiny here, but he's really not - just the angle):

    Now he doesn't look quite as much like a dust mop. :nana:

     

    His previous owners had him pretty well trained - he knew a few basic obedience commands, and we've been working with him on improving it. He can do a 1-2 minute long "stay" command, even if we walk out of his sight. Very cool. :thumbsup: He's also usually good at "drop it" and "leave it," which is nice. :nana:

     

    I'm not a huge dog fan (they're a lot of work...), but my wife loves him and I have to admit, he's pretty cool overall. Except when he barks because he wants attention. :P

     

    Yeah, you can't tell our Bichon that he's supposed to be a foofy dog.
