My former high school back in Spokane starts on the 29th of this month, while the other schools in the school district start on the third of September. I think this has to do with a $4 million federal grant the school received last year to help improve its graduation rate, which happens to be the lowest one in the entire city of Spokane. The school also started earlier than the other schools last year. It's a good thing I graduated from that school back in '07

Yes, but the nearest 7-11 is about 90 miles from where I live.

Do you like to eat Twinkies?

She did a lot of comedy work, and she was also known for her cackle laugh. The only times I've known her voice for was the queen ant in the animated movie A Bug's Life, as well as the voice of Peter Griffin's mother on Family Guy. RIP Ms. Diller

I still have an old PS One console with at least 2 dozen game discs (which I use from time to time.) I also have an old Super NES console in my closet with two games (I gave away most of my SNES games to my oldest nephew who also has a Super NES at his house along with an XBOX 360 and a Wii console.)

Here's my updated desktop as of today, with a new background. Can you guess where I got it from?

Also, as before, all of the folders I had on my desktop have been Photoshopped out of the picture. All of you should know why I did that

How'd you find that when it's unlisted?

I did a random Google search and came to this page which has the video embedded:

So I thought I'd pass it along to this site, even though the user kept the video as unlisted

The FTE page on weather.com still exists:

http://www.weather.com/tv/tvshows/peter-lik


Maybe the show wasn't intended to run for more seasons?    Who knows?

Someday, hopefully all of the episodes will released on DVD someday. I'd buy that because I liked the show, compared to the other boring long-form shows that are on TWC today. If not, I'll have to record all of the reruns while I still have a chance.

Yes, because that's just one more day until the weekend, and that means no work until Monday!   

Have you attended any rock concerts in your whole life so far?

Was From the Edge by peter Lik really cancelled? If so that explains why it's not on anymore.

I was starting to wonder about that myself    IMO that was the only long-form show that wasn't boring to me. I loved all of the landscape pics that Lik took

I never saw the relaunch on the exact day in '05 because my cable was shut off August 9th and I was moving into a new place with my parents at the time. However, I do remember seeing the square logo behind someone who was on the air (whose name escapes me at the moment) hanging on a wall in the TWC studio, just before my cable was shut off
