Dead hawk, Roosevelt’s, and third-row seating

Okay, so this morning I was listening to the morning radio stations, just flipping though trying to find a decent one that wasn't too vulgar for my five year old to hear as well, and I came across this one here. Which is 104.7 KDUK's Morning House Party team. I don't know their names, but what they were talking about this morning was a dead hawk on a gate or door box. I figured this would be just as entertaining to listen too and indeed it was.

So one of them, Chino, I think is his call name on there, had to see it this morning when he got to the radio station and they snapped a picture of it. Well, as I am driving along I wonder, what the heck does a hawk look like up close? So of course, nosey me came home after dropping the boy off at school and started to do a hunt on this radio station and see the picture they took of this hawk. Well, needless to say I couldn't find it so I had to ask in their chatbox where to find it. And here is what I got....



So for one, I am actually impressed that someone was willing to talk to me about it, and for two, this is one of the best conversations I have heard on a radio station in a long time. You can see their FaceBook photo of the hawk here.

But the whole point of this post wasn't to go off on a rant about a dead hawk at an Oregon radio station it was to mention the two radio commercials I heard after that. One was about Taco Bell lowering their prices on their menu to help out the common folk. They have added items on their menu for 79¢, 89¢, and even 99¢. By the way, their website song of "All about the Roosevelt's" is pretty funny.

The second commercial was about a healthcare company here in Oregon that has real people to talk to when you call in for a question about your policy.

These commercials got me to thinking about how bad the economy got there for awhile and what companies are doing to try to make it easier for everyone over all. The lowering of the prices, the real people to talk to, it only means one thing. Things are going back to the way they were before the entire boom in trying to keep up with the Jones's.

We really don't have to have the latest and greatest out there. I have a family member that has two kids and bought a huge vehicle with third-row seating, why? Why do they need all that room? I bet you they are the ones headed to the "cents" menu at Taco Bell from time to time to save some green.

If we all just look around and saw what we had and made our purchases on what we "NEED" over what we "WANT" the economy would have never taken a turn for the worse. The best thing to do and I think Cheryl Crow said it best, "It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you have" that matters most! And hands-off to those companies that are making a change to help everyone and not just themselves. A few individuals could learn from them in the long run.

My pity goes out to the poor hawk that lost it's life for me to have something to write about. haha!
