Our Police Chaplin ~~ Friday’s Hunt v1.22-- "V" is for ...
Friday's Hunt for the week of May 27th: (1) Starts with V; (2) Week's Favorite; and (3) Sunshine
(1) Starts with V: "V" is for Volunteer. Our Sunday school teacher, Dr. Charles Wisdom is a Volunteer with the Fulshear, Texas, Police Department. He serves as the Police Chaplin. Some tease him of having special driving and legal privileges.
As a teasing joke, a few of our members doctored up a picture of Dr. Wisdom's car by putting a big sign on it, reading "Fulshear Police." After a bit of fun during pre-class time it was admitted that his car actually didn't have this sign. Rather it was doctored up by clever usage of a photo editing program.
As you can see in the picture, Charles really enjoyed the photo which was presented to him.
(2) Week's Favorite: An Aggie experiment. Students, graduates, and staff at the Texas A&M College have a reputation of not having everything just exactly right. These students and graduates are called "Aggies". Aggies are the butt of many unkind jokes hinting of a less than 'normal' intelligence concerning everyday situations.
There is an Aggie joke saying that some Aggie graduates were having trouble concerning the growing of chickens. Since none of the chickens planted seemed to be growing, one brilliant graduate decided to call his college professor.
When told of the problem, the professor asked how they were planting these chickens. "Feet first" was the graduate's response, whereby the prof quickly and wisely responded, "Why don't you try planting them 'heads down'?"
As I snapped this picture I was reminded of the Aggie joke above. It may be an Aggie clandestine operation of growing children. Clearly these kids are planted 'head first.'

(3) Sunshine:
This little rabbit is grazing in the sunshine. We have a very good rabbit crop this summer. They come and go in and out of our yard, back and front.
Since dogs here are required to be on leash and rabbits are a protected species in Katy most live a long life.

This one seems to be off to a good start.

Flashback Friday # 11 ~ Jim's early TV days
.
All about our early TV watching is what Linda wants from us this week. Linda asked several questions. Click her icon, right, if you want to read others or participate in this.
First,
a little teacher joke from my friend, bornagn901 (I never know whether that will be James or Gwen--the address belongs to James but they both use it when it comes pass-around-joke time):
TEACHER: Clyde , your composition on 'My Dog' is exactly the same as your brother's.. Did you copy his?
CLYDE : No, sir. It's the same dog.
.
Now, to what Linda asked us to answer:
Did your family have a TV?
Our family did not have a TV. TVs were fairly new when I was still in high school and my parents would not buy one. They thought the radio had all the news they needed and some real good programming for listening.
Tell about TV when you were growing up.
On Saturday nights Mom, Dad, Lois (sister), and I would go up to Grandpa and Grandma's (pictured on the right) home to watch TV with them. Really we would go up to watch wrestling because that is all that Grandpa would watch on Saturday night. When wrestling was over we would go home.
Sometimes some of my aunts and uncles and cousins would come to watch with my grandparents. Not usually though because they had their own TVs. I watched TV cartoons sometimes with my cousins on Thanksgiving and Christmas. We always had that at my grandparents.
Was it color or b&w?
Grandpa's TV was B&W because that was all they had back then. After I got married, six years out of high school, only then was my first TV, also a black and white. I don't think there was color TV yet then either.
How many TVs did your family have?
My parents bought a TV right after I left for college. They only had one. Until I married Mrs. Jim much later, I only had one TV. Now we have one in every room except the dining room, bathrooms, and the mud room.
Did you have one in your room?
When I was in college I still didn't have a TV for my room(s). My TV watching was either at the Student Union Lounge or at work when someone brought one in on University of Nebraska football days.

I moved around a lot after I dropped out. I still didn't have my own TV. My last landlady had one and I would watch it quite a bit with the family. It was here that I first saw the Beatles when they came on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Did your family leave the TV on most of the day or turn it on for specific programs?
Back in those days the TV was never left on when no one was watching. I think people thought it might self combust. I generally shut them off to this day when not in use, mostly to conserve energy.
Was the TV on or off when you ate meals as a family?
My landlady always had hers on at meal time because that was also news time. The TV couldn't be seen from the table but everyone could hear the news and didn't need to see it. Except maybe for the weather, that was nice to watch.
Were there rules about watching TV?
I was too old for rules. With our own kids there weren't any rules either. All the time they were at home we only had broadcast TV--no cable or dish TV-- so the programming was decent for them to watch.
What were your favorite shows?
Football has always been my favorite show. That is because I began to like football about the time I had my own TV. I watched the Late Night Show and/or the Tonight Show about from the time they started.
Are there any particular memories you have of TV in your younger years?
I can still see us all siting on the couch or a straight chair watching wrestling with Grandpa. Also in my mind someplace is watching cartoons on Thanksgiving Day after dinner with my cousins.

I do remember pretty clearly the first TV I had. It was fairly small and made of yellow plastic. A TV stand cost extra but we had one of those. It was made of small diameter rod welded to make an artistic, contemporary, looking affair.
.
My TV watching now that I am retired is as follows:
6:45 -- Wrap up of local news and weather
7-9 ---- GMA, ABC's Good Morning America program -- Fox 26 Local interspersed sometimes -- Mrs. Jim brings me coffee just before 8:00 and I get up about then. Sometimes I get up at 7:20 after the network (ABC) news.
9:00 -- Regis and Kelly
10:00 - Price is right
11:00 - Local news on ABC 13
12:00 - Local news on CBS 11
12:30 - Family Feud -- or Cooking with Barefoot Contessa if Mrs. Jim is home

2:00 -- I Dream of Jeannie, WGN, Chicago (two rerun programs)
3:00 -- Bewitched, WGN, Chicago (two rerun programs) -- or 2:30 Millionaire
4:00 -- Local news on ABC 13
5:00 -- Local news on NBC 2
5:30-- Network news, NBC, CBS, or ABC (never Fox)
6:00 -- Local news, CBS 11
6:30 -- Vanna White (Dad called it that), i.e. Wheel of Fortune

Our Thanksgiving?
1. Daughter, Karen: “We will have it at our house this year.”
2. Daughter. Karen: “Can you have it at your house, my in-laws aren’t coming this year?”
3. Mrs. Jim: “Oh sure, come on up. You haven’t seen our new floors yet.” (Mrs. Jim’s sister from Louisiana and OM are coming, so we will have eight.)
4. Jim: “I don’t want you to do all that cooking and stuff. We will eat the buffet this year. I made reservations for 12:30. You can peek at the menu here.”
