The Hobbit

Leave a comment

The-HobbitWe saw the movie “The Hobbit” tonight. It was no “Return of the King” but I guess it’s not suppose to be, it’s the Hobbit. It was a little slow in places and some of the CGI could have been done a little better, but it was a must see. I would recommend it to anyone as well. As a prequel the “Lord of the Rings” it does an excellent job in keeping in Harmony with the trilogy.  I see where it has become a trilogy as well. It was the smallest book, and the book went pretty fast but it’s NOT about the money.

I heard several people complain about Peter Jackson stretching it out so much. He did but he added to the story beyond J.R.R. Token. If he was to make three movie and keep me entertained for 3 hours at a time, God Bless him and the entire production company. I give it two thumbs up!

Old Cadillac – Nixon / Agnew

I saw this old Cadillac, I found this at a local high school,  with the “Nixon for President” sticker on it! Being a Hobo I love it when people get their moneys worth out of things. The car needs some TLC but all in all it’s in great shape! I have a 2005 Ford Truck and I’m going to see how long I can drive the dang on thing. It’s ready for a new paint job and some seat covers but mechanically it still runs and drives great.

What sad is that most kids of today’s generation don’t know who Nixon / Agnew were.

Corn-Broccoli Casserole

Leave a comment

I had to share this with everyone… nobody has been disappointed with it.

Yellow squash, zucchini, cauliflower and a wide variety of other vegetables can be substituted for the broccoli with impressive results. This one-dish supper can be made in about 15 minutes of hands-on time if you are using pre-shredded cheese and frozen broccoli. If you use fresh broccoli, it should be steamed first.

1 can corn, drained
1 can creamed com
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 eggs, beaten
3 cups frozen broccoli, thawed and chopped into 1/2″ chunks
1 small onion, minced
2/3 cup milk
1 sleeve saltines, crushed
2 tablespoons margarine, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine first 7 ingredients and 3/4 cup of saltine crumbs. Pour into 10 1/2″ metal-handled frying pan or large casserole dish. Combine remaining crumbs with margarine and use to top casserole.

Bake uncovered for 40 minutes or until firm. Serves eight.

Who would want to be a CyberHobo?

Leave a comment

I was asked, “who’d want to be a Hobo or even CyberHobo?”

All I could think of is someone who didn’t want to be on someone else clock all the time. Someone who didn’t want the responsibility of owning a home, or worry about the IRS taking everything they have. Someone who wants to decide where they’d like to sleep, eat, work, and play every day. Somebody who didn’t just want a vacation 1 week per year but in this short life was on vacation every day. Someone who doesn’t want to hear their electric payment is late or their water might get shut off, or the cable company threatening to shut of the cable TV. Someone who doesn’t want a cell phone and can read all day. WOW… only Bill Gates can live like that. Nope Hoboes around the world wake up every day with the world as their back yard. We’ll fish for dinner, sing some song around a fire, listen to someone recite some poetry, and laugh till we cry.
