CSI

Welcome friends to another Saturday 9.
As I have said before we here in NJ are getting so many more thunderstorms than usual, a result, I think, of the Grand Solar Minimum that totally effects the weather all over the world.
We live in interesting times for sure.
  Here is a word from our host Sam
CSI: Who Are You?"Welcome to Saturday 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme. "
Saturday 9: Who Are You? (1977)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This song, originally recorded by The Who, was the theme of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, which ran from 2000 to 2015. Did you watch it? Were you a fan?
I did not watch is, so I was not a fan.

2) When the show premiered, Gil Grissom (William Petersen) was the CSI team's supervisor. Gil's mother was deaf, and so he was fluent in American Sign Language. Can you communicate using ASL?
A little bit, but not much.

3) His assistant is blood-splatter analyst Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger). Catherine's family moved often, which made it hard for her to get traction in her studies. She finally just dropped out of high school. She later got her GED, and even graduated from college. Have you ever considered going back to school?
Yes. I would love too to do that, but it is way to expensive now.

4) Though set in Las Vegas, most of CSI was filmed in Santa Clarita, CA. Santa Clarita is also home to Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park. Do you enjoy roller coasters?
No. I am not a fan of fast rides that are dangerous and unhealthy.
5) The vocalist on the CSI theme, Roger Daltry of the Who, made a cameo appearance on the show during season 7. Do you have a favorite Who song?
No. I was not a fan of the Who, so I am not interested in their music.

6) CSI became a franchise, followed by CSI: Miami and CSI: New York. If we could organize a Saturday 9 field trip, which of these CSI cities would you prefer we visit: Las Vegas, Miami or New York?
New  York is a mess right now. Miami is only good for beaches, Las Vegas is too commercial. I will skip them all and we will go to Sante Fe New Mexico instead. I am sure we will have a great time.

7) In 2000, the last original Peanuts comic strip was published. How many Peanuts characters can you name?
Just a few like Charlie Brown, Lucy, Pigpen, Linus, Snoopy. If Toni were here she'd name them all perfectly!
8) Also in 2000, media giant Time Warner merged with America Online, the email provider. It's estimated that 74% of us check our email at least once/day. Are you one of the 74%?
Nope. I go months, years without checking my email.
9) Random question -- Did you more recently cut and paste, or delete?
Cut and paste in Photoshop.
tune in tomorrow for Sunday Stealing.

  2. Never watched CSI but I've known lots of folks who did or do. I'm so way behind the times, I guess. :)

  3. You are right Toni would have named the Peanuts all perfectly. I always think of her when I see Peanuts. It makes me smile. Loved your answers! Have a great day!

  4. I need email for work, so I check it frequently. A product of the times.

  5. I am growing weary of email. About all I really use it for is to tell me I have comments on my blog since I started having to use comment moderation due to nasty comments (spam). I was not a WHO fan either, nor CSI. I wouldn't go to any of those cities either. I'm a country girl and stay away from cities as much as possible. Yes, Toni would know the Peanuts characters. Snoopy is my favorite. Yes, the weather has been interesting this summer to say the least. Praying no more major storms for any of us. 2020 is a bad storm in itself.
