We had a great Party.
By Norm Seeley | August 2, 2008
Today the second was my birthday and it was held at Red Robin at Tempe Market Place. We had some good friends attend.
There were also our friends from Red Robin
Should I worry about the extra pounds that (in my mind) I gained? Now the last time I weighed myself I was 274. That’s down almost 66 pounds from the weight that I had on my last Drivers License. But, don’t want it to go back up.
I need to consider more exercise and should maybe look into the most effective diet pill , to keep my “Manly Figure” under control.
Let’s not forget all the singing.

And today is!
By Norm Seeley | August 2, 2008
Today is my birthday!
The BIG 65!
But what was it like more than 40 years ago?
Now take a look at August the 2nd live in the KOOL Studio, with me leading Happy Birthday with Johnny Johnson holding a mike that you can’t see, so the singers can be heard on the air. I wish I had a tape.
The picture survived a flood in one of my houses, that’s why it looks like it does. Sadly Johnny passed away many years ago. He was a good broadcaster and we grew to be good friends.
Below is a letter written to KOOL about John and I.
We had the only private vehicle in the state of Arizona that was equipped with a two-way radio to the Highway Patrol.
Both John and I were active members of the Highway Patrol Reserve which allowed us to talk directly to Phoenix Dispatch and other Highway Patrol officers while we were out reporting traffic.
When I moved to being on the air in the afternoon, after that letter was written, my traffic reporting days came to an end.
Miss em!

Surrounded.
By Norm Seeley | August 1, 2008
Have you notice that our lives are centered around computers more and more.
In my office, I have 3. Not bragging, OK, maybe a little. But each one was purchased with a specific purpose in mind.
Computer number one, my oldest was a “general Computer” for personal and business accounting and access to the internet. I also have an audio software program in it that I used to produce Friday’s Music and the occasional audio blog.
Computer number two, was purchased for my video production business. That is gone, the AVID software that came with it, a professional video editing system is gone but I have a consumer video editing package in it now. It has limited access to the internet.
Computer number three. It was used as the computer that controlled a DC/DVD duplicator that I used with the video production business. That, the duplicator is gone and now the computer is really for connection with the internet and where I transfer my still digital photos that I take.
While right now they do a pretty good job for what I use them for, I should consider upgrading
using micro SD . I’m sure that more memory would help out a great deal.
At least in my office, I feel surrounded.

The Water here is So Good!

When the temperature here in Scottsdale reaches 117 degrees, one really doesn’t care where the water comes from.

OUR Fault!
By Norm Seeley | August 1, 2008
I could not believe what I was hearing this afternoon, but it was Barack Obama speaking and saying that the reason for the increase in the prices of gas in this country was because we, American Drivers were not inflating their tires with the proper pressure. And we, American Drivers were not having their vehicles tuned enough.
That’s all we had/have to do to bring down the prices of gas, is inflate our tires to the proper pressure and make sure that our vehicles are tune often.
Every time I took my vehicle to a gas station, up until recently, when all the full service gas stations here in Scottsdale closed, I had my tires checked , and the oil. Not once a month, not once a week, but every single time I would drive into a station for gas. I would have the oil changed as set out my Dodge in the van’s manual. That goes for scheduled tune ups. By the book. But in spite of that…..gas prices went up.
Obama hasn’t a clue. Obama is not qualified to be President. Obama hasn’t taken the time to listen to people who really know what’s going on. Obama doesn’t care one bit about Americans. He does want to take your money. That is one think that you can count on.
You must also realize that Obama and other Democrats are going to do all they can to limit what is said on the radio. Mainly because of “Talk Radio”. If that happens how long will it be before blogging will be regulated? The left, The Democrats don’t want the truth to be heard. Obama believes that too. He’s not qualified to be President.
Every time I hear than man speak, I feel I need to have a colon cleanse .
In fact, I want to run outside turn on a hose and wash myself off.
With each time he speaks, it becomes more clear that he’s not qualified to be President.
It’s becomes more clear that he like so many on the left is an American Hater.
He feels that this country is responsible for every thing wrong in the world.
But Mr. Obama, that just isn’t true.

Highway Safety?
By Norm Seeley | July 31, 2008
On the 101 freeway, that is just a short distance from our house here in Scottsdale, the city of Scottsdale has been conducting a test of photo “speed’ cameras. Well, that test is over and now the state is moving in with newly purchased mobile photo equipment to capture speeders.
In preparation for the new speed enforcement, the state has lowered the speed limit on the 101 to 55 MPH. Keep in mind that for the last several months the 101 has been a major construction area and the limit has been dropped in the construction zones. But that in itself has not slowed Arizona Drivers down at all.
We use the 101, as it’s quicker than traveling on Scottsdale streets with all of the lights.
Even with the lower speed limits in the miles of construction, have to tell you again, most drivers don’t slow down at all. Just yesterday with the new posted 55 MPH signs up, I was going 60 MPH, and being pasted by 90% of the other vehicles who had to be doing 70 or faster.
During the speed camera tests, every week or so there would be a picture in one of the local papers showing a driver and his/her vehicle on the 101 at 79, 85, or even 95 MPH.
Those cameras did not do a thing, to ” Improve the safety of the 101″ Like the city of Scottsdale told us it would and what it was for.
Sure.
The fact that it brought in revenue had nothing at all to do with it.
NO, not a bit.
Anyway, it’s funny that the state now, has lowered the limit, just before they are to start using the mobile photo equipment. Could it be that they’re trying to sucker Arizona Drivers or start off with a big income based on this new limit.
What they should really do is for each person caught driving faster than the limit, they should make them purchase strollers , turn in their BMW’s and Hummers.
Now that would help “Highway Safety”!!

Quick!
By Norm Seeley | July 31, 2008
My dear sweet wife came to me earlier this week and ask me…..NormB….she calls me that,
“Do you want to have a birthday partly on Saturday?”
I thought about it more than a moment, thinking that it would be super to send out party invitations and have a get together to celebrate turning 65.
So, I said yes!
I did some more thinking and came up with a short list of those who I would like to have attend.
She had also asked about where I would like to have it, and being cheap and understanding that if Obama is elected in November, Let’s Hope Not, and all of the taxes he wants will eat little people like us out of house and home, so I kept the number to just a few couples.
I also decided that we should go to the restaurant that had sent me a Free Birthday Burger coupon. (More about that on Saturday)
I got to thinking also that since I was the Birthday Boy, change that to Birthday Man, I should not be the one to do the inviting. It should come from Karen.
And that’s what has happened. She has been the one doing the inviting, I’m just sitting here dreaming of all the fun we’re going to have with all of our close friends with us on this eventful day.
I better not tell her about all the others out of state who I want to invite.
If I only owned an airplane.
Those of you in CA, Colo, MO, Fla, and Oregon get ready to be picked up.
Now that would be a PARTY.

We’re being Watched!
By Norm Seeley | July 31, 2008
There we were, in downtown Scottsdale Arizona and walking from our parking spot and low and behold I saw a camera looking down on us.
It’s a good thing I’m not paranoid.
Quite frankly, I don’t care who watches me while walking on a public street.
As yet, walking has not been declared a crime.
Perhaps after November, it could be, or at least it could be taxed.
