My basketball experience

So it looks like the citizens of Wisconsin will not be getting what they are not paying for. The Department of Corrections can not fill vacancies because people actually get more money on unemployment then to work for State Government.

As balderdash said in his comment "From this point forward the public sector will have a very hard time competing for jobs so you will get what you pay for. I know this as I worked both as a private contract to the state as well as a state employee. I also have left public service for the private sector gold."

A high up suit of Family Services said "why would anybody want to work for Government, lower pay, bad working conditions and no benefits. State government will be hiring the the bottom feeders in talent to run multi million dollar systems. Hope nothing goes wrong because all of the knowledge is gone that created those systems"

You know - If I had a choice between Bush and Walker to run Wisconsin? I would take Bush in a second. I was actually pro Iraq war but anti how it was run and I thought Bush was a buffoon but at least he was not outright flamboyantly corrupt.

ANYWAY - I went to the Wisconsin basketball game last night and man was it exciting. At one point the game was on the line at 5 to 5 but then the Kangaroos went cold and shot 21% and Wisconsin snuck out with a 77-31 victory.

The thing that got me was just how boring the Kohl Center really is.

Kohl Center


Yea - it's sort of cool on the outside and it does have that ultra famous glass squigglier works on the walls in one area but it's basically a cement building with no real redeeming photo opportunities.

HOWEVER - after I slept on it perhaps I was just not feeling it last night.  There are some shot's I would take if I went again.

  
Perhaps it was the fact that the crowd there and the game as it was was more like watching a opera with polite applause at times.  It was so exciting that it looks to me like the most thrilling times for me to take photos was during time outs!  WHAT UP WITH THAT!!!

BTW - the shot above?  ULTRA WIDE ANGLE LENS BABY!!

Hydro Street Brewing - STILL having problems getting the hood up for the grill.  It's like the lynch pin, everything is waiting on that to be completed so inspections can take place.

I doubt anybody will read this until Monday when people go back to work.

so have a wonderful Thanks Giving.
