Wednesdays FUBR Computer

I logged on this morning and I get an error saying my computer can not load my profile because I do not have enough disk space. How much do I need for my profile??? I would think 1 gig would be enough.

The Server Consolidation is going wonderfully. From what I read in the Wisconsin State Journal this consolidation is only like $100 million over budget. Only 9 times the original estimate. Well down. !! Of but the email consolidation was only $13 million, only 5 times the estimate so that is much better! Excellent.

I have seen this so often. Once things get totally FUBR and everybody is saying STOP, cut your losses, they can't because it will make people look bad like they don't know what they are doing.

SIGH!

We had 2.38 inches of rain yesterday. I remember watching the local weather people and all were saying scattered hit and miss showers for yesterday. I was looking at the radar and TO ME it looked like basically an all day rain. I saw nothing scattered about it.

So last night I had Bob Lind-lier on and he explained that it was not HIS mistake but the models missed an upper air disturbance. Bull Shit Bob! You are the weather genius, look out the frapping window - look at the radar, make your own decision and stop hiding behind your "models".

The Columbus City Council has agreed to paint the Clock Tower. Well, they agreed to PAY someone to paint the Clock Tower. It needs it. It'll cost about $10,000 but Alice Schmidt has chipped in $9,000 from the last two years of Columbus Area History Calendars.

When you see these wonderful calenders for sale pick one up. The $$ goes to a good cause.

My computer is acting up so I only have one more thing.

So we have all heard about the wonderful new Dallas Cowboy Stadium of the Gods. And yes - it is amazing.

However - for only $29 a ticket you can be be one for 30,000 Cowboy fans to have a Party Pass which gives you crowded concourses, blocked access, and long bathroom lines and a chance to watch the game on a big TV. Of course many of the 30,000 did not get to see the TV because those tickets only gave you access to certain things inside. There was tiny lettering saying that there was a chance you would not be allowed INSIDE the stadium.

According to deadspin "naturally, the swarm of Texas-sized asses clogging the entrances, concourses, concessions and seats belonging to actual ticket holders created such chaos that the fire department gave up trying to control them and officially declared jungle law.

Here is what $29 can get you if you are a Dallas Cowboy fan.



Cowboys and public safety officials had to stop trying to control the flow of people into the stadium because the crowd was becoming angry. According to the Dallas News "Many people with standing-room-only tickets quickly became hostile and threw plastic bottles and pounded on glass doors.

Americans Team! phhht! What a crock!
