Odds and Ends

The daughter spotted this truck on Washington Ave. This Saint's fan/driver showed his support by writing in the dust on the truck. I have always liked the Saint's but was not a big fan mostly because they always lost and never gave us anything to get excited about. This year has been different and I hope they go to the Superbowl. I want to see them play the Vikings. Brees and Farve. I would like to see that.

Did anybody enjoy the look on William Shatner's face when Sarah Palin took the stage to do a "reading" from his book? It was on the C. O'brian show. For the second time Shatner read from her book making fun of her as is the usual for the Hollywood set. When he finished she appeared from backstage and read about him. The look on his face was priceless. I used to like him along with Whoopi, Robin Williams, and and others. But I don't need the supposed intelligent Hollywood ninnies telling me how to think. Payback is good! This is the look on his face as she read. Don't you just love it.

Author Stephen King and his wife are donating money so 150 soldiers from the Maine Army National Guard can come home for the holidays. King and his wife, Tabitha, who live in Bangor, are paying $13,000 toward the cost of two bus trips so that members of the 3rd Battalion, 172nd Infantry Unit can travel from Camp Atterbury in Indiana to Maine for Christmas. The soldiers left Maine last week for training at Camp Atterbury. They are scheduled to depart for Afghanistan in January. Julie Eugley, one of King's personal assistants, told the Bangor Daily News that the Kings were approached about giving $13,000.
But Stephen King thought the number 13 was a bit unlucky, so the couple pitched in $12,999 instead. Eugley chipped in $1 to make for an even $13,000.
