Okay... so one of my New Year's Resolutions was to blog more. OOPS!

I apologize for not sticking to it. I am only hoping, your New Year's promises have fallen by the wayside as well :0)

But it's never too late to get back on the blog bandwagon... so here I am! Check out the story I found on the news wire this morning and let me know what you think.... as for me, I think the lawmakers are a bunch of party poopers!  

 SACRAMENTO (AP) -- California lawmakers want to pop your balloon-- if it's one of those shiny metallic ones. A state legislative committee has voted unanimously to ban the glistening helium-filled party balloons. Supporters of the bill say the balloons frequently break free and float into power lines. Pacific Gas and Electric says the balloons caused more than 200 power outages last year in its coverage area. But officials of The Balloon Council feel the lawmakers are full of hot air. Balloon Council lobbyist Barry Broad says the proposed ban is wacky. The balloon ban would be a first in the country.

When I was growing up, California used to be the place to be. Heck, even Zeppelin wrote a song about Going to California... Now it seems live every possible wacky nanny law starts there and like a cancer it spreads across the rest of the country.

I blame Timothy Leary... all those hippies dropping all that acid back in the 60's and 70's are running California today.

Emmy award winning anchor/reporter Holly Morris started with WTTG in December of 1998. Her specialty is "live" TV, which you can see her doing on FOX 5 Morning News. Each weekday morning, Holly reports and often interacts live from somewhere in the community either covering a breaking news story, previewing an event, or learning more about all that is available in and around the greater Washington area. Holly can also be seen anchoring FOX 5 News at Noon. Holly's work has earned her 4 regional Emmys, three of which were for "Best Live Reporting". She also has a regional Edward R. Murrow award. Prior to her career at WTTG-TV, Holly was an anchor/reporter at WKYT-TV in Lexington, Kentucky. There she won three regional Emmy's including one for best anchor and one for best feature reporter. If Holly ever gets tired of the early morning wake-up calls for FOX 5 Morning News, she can always fall back on the profession of engineering. In 1993, she graduated from Duke University with a degree in civil and environmental engineering. Holly is originally from Cincinnati, Ohio.
