Hee Hee! Jackson in Color with Lightning

Three years ago today (6/25/2009) the world lost a pop legend, the king of pop. Michael Jackson left our world, and it felt like the earth's population would never shake their pelvises, hide from the Thriller, or dance in the streets again. I grew up listening to old MJ albums and hoping to one day meet an icon from our generation. His death was certainly tough for me, so this National Michael Jackson Day will certainly be spent watching and listening to his most popular songs and videos. Here are a few screen pics from my favorite MJ song "Thriller":

 Who knew zombies had rhythm?

 Creepy.

 And it's Color TV Day, so this works perfectly!

So, if you've bought a TV in the last like 25+ years, there is a 98% chance that you own a color one. Back in 1951, CBS broadcast their first color television variety show which was only picked up on color-ready television sets. It went out to major cities including Washington D.C., Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and solely black-and-white screens would not pick up the broadcast. However, color TVs had been in development for over a decade by this broadcast. So, take a moment today and turn on your color TV--can you imagine everything being in black and white (those under 35 need not answer)?

Last but not least, today is also Lighting Safety Awareness Week. Being a native Northeast Ohioan, I certainly know something about rain, thunder, and lightning, but New Mexico is not exactly the t-storm capital of the U.S. That being said, it is still important to remember some lightning safety tips. 1. Stay inside 2. Get out of the pool/off the golf course if you hear thunder (where there's thunder, there's lightning) 3. Car is safer than under a tree 4. Tall buildings aren't your best bet 5. Putting lightning rods on your house can be helpful. Check out these other lightning safety tips and professional advice! 

Tall building--really not helpful!

Hope you had a day that rocked your world! I know I did.

CS, out.
