Storm Defender Cape

I wonder if I can order a Storm Defender Cape that is 25 square miles large for Columbus.

Actually I just ordered a Storm Defender Cape for Blake our dog. You see every time there is a thunderstorm within 50 miles Blake will run to the bathtub. We always thought this was an odd thing and then I found this little bit of information.

"Research shows that dogs sense the static charge buildup before a thunderstorm. This same charge, if it gets big enough, produces lightning. Knowing that, it makes sense for dogs to be afraid and seek shelter. It is an "early warning" system for lightning."

"Dogs naturally try to escape the static charge by moving toward items that are electrically grounded. Many thunderstorm-phobic dogs seek shelter in the basement, around the toilet, shower, tub or near pipes. Favorite spots are often the bathtub (if made of porcelain coated cast iron) or the car."

RIGHT ON!! Every time Blake would go to the garage trying to get to the car or sit in the tub hyperventilating.

MSNBC had an article about this phobia and mentioned the Storm Defender Cape. I did some due diligence and found that many people said it worked AND there is a three storm money back guarantee. So I ordered one. Cost $64 but that is not a bad price for calming him.

I will let you know how it works. Now I must find a Fireworks Defending Cape.

Is there any truth to this or is this just some outloud wishing or thinking :) It would bring the project full circle but isn't the clock ticking for this to happen.

At least we know you will keep us updated on things. Would Columbus be able to handle filming after the flooding or is everything semi back to normal?

He was referring to Columbus and getting one last blast of PE.

Well . . . . . It was out loud thinking. A scene that was originally meant to Columbus has not been shot yet and there was a wink wink from a person that COULD know when I mentioned it. It would not take the entire operation to set up camp and it would not take up any streets IN Columbus.

So I'm just putting it out there.

World Series of Poker.

Remember a long long time ago when a reader (Tiffany) mentioned that her boyfriend was in a WSOP event? Well - he ended in 390th place out of 2500. Tiffany broke even and shopped a lot in LV. 390th is not bad at all for the first time in the event. Congrats!!!

Marcella update

As planned my friend and I took the 5:55 train down, caught a cab and headed towards Wrigley field.

Basecamp happened to be across the street from where the cab had let us out. After talking to Becky (who was already where they were filming) we made our way to the set. Becky got a chance to actually see him act out the scene several times... we had just missed it. They wrapped soon after and of course Becky was much more on top of things then we were.

After contemplating her sudden disappearance, we ran off in the direction of base camp. As usual, Becky knew what she was doing ;) Thank God we had literally ran. We arrived just as Jerry was collecting things to be signed. I was able to get both the Rolling Stones (with him on the cover) signed as well as the article printed a few months back comparing both John Dillinger and Johnny Depp.

After about an hour or so off socializing, Johnny came out a little before ten (correct me if I am wrong on this). My goal was to get a picture with him, and I succeeded. Of course I was looking at the wrong camera in the picture, but hey take what we can get right? Johnny seemed much less tired then Friday/Saturday in my opinion, although I know he still had a long day. Someone said they started at 6 this morning. Fun night and I know Becky was especially excited about getting back to Milwaukee at a decent time.

KrisX - we could use your expertise in how to put stuff up at Amtrak in the best way.

Brewers. A lot of people got down on the Brewers early in the year, they seemed to forget that this is a marathon, not a sprint.

With that said the Brew Crew have the best record in the Majors since May 20th going 22-10 and are only one game away from St. Louis in the loss column for Wild Card.

The Cubs are in for a tough stretch of games in July while the Brewers have it MUCH easier. I would not be surprised to see a real race near the end of July as the Cubs pitching staff is suffering what the Brewers went through last year. There starters are not getting to the 6th inning and their bull pen is getting tired.

As for the Brewers. Their Starters are awesome. In the last 26 games Starters have a 2.92 ERA with 20 quality starts.

In the last 20 games

Fielder is hitting .324
Weeks has a .370 On Base Percentage
Branyon has a .870 Slugging
Counsell has a .390 OBA

And the rest are hitting above what they had down the first few months.

it's going to be a real interesting rest of the year.
