Altus mayor says town loved reality TV show - baxterbulletin.com
I saw the first installment of "The Simple Life" on Tuesday. It's a hoot. It is a 'reality' TV Show about two girls, Paris Hilton (of the Hotel Hilton family) and Nicole Ritchie (daughter of Lionel Ritchie), both well-heeled, spoiled, party girls from the big city come to Altus, Arkansas for a month of the "Simple Life". These girls are clueless, eg: Paris says things like "Wal-mart? What is that ...do they sell walls?", they go to the grocery store with $50.00 and load approx $65.00 into the cart and at the checkout they tell the clerk that they only have $50.00......can you just give them to us? He replies that this is not a food bank and later Paris says to Nicole....what's a food bank? It harkens back to the Green Acres" Show. The two girls are innocent of the reality of rural life (like seeing real chickens and making the link to the chicken dinner they are having) and all its trappings. They are used to the good things and are in shock to find things like a well in their room, bugs attracted byt the open windows and the light, trucks that won't go into reverse. The family that they are billeted with are quite amazed at the site of these two girls and all their luggage and their fancy clothes, but are accepting nonetheless. The girls, in turn, are quite good natured about it all.
Anyhow it is early Wednesday morning, having been woken up by the dog......not sure if she really needed to go outside or just wants a cookie for doing it! It is approx. -10 deg C that is cold, even on the frigidaire gauge!
Yesterday we went ofver to the "Whodunnit" book store and picked up a book for Catherine. We did a whole bunch of shopping, grocery and otherwise. Tomorrow, Catherine has an appointment in the morning and I thought that I would go with her and since it is near Mom's place we could, afterwards, pick up some egg-McMuffins and drop in to see her. Then there will be just enough time to drive Catherine home and then get over to the Aviation Museum.
Nice to see Lyn's blog and Adam now has a blog too....quite good, with a picture of Bart Simpson on it! Now maybe Margot and Joel will be interested in trying to blog.....it is easy really!!!!! what about Noni?????? She would have a lot to say, I am sure..... She's funny too!
Anyhow, better go and get some sleep, before I have to get up?
Good=night.........yawn
