Hunger Game of Thrones!

WELL - I'm certainly glad THAT week is over. It took almost exactly one week from system shut down to systems running as expected (last night). I purchased Papaya tablets to aid digestion and that seemed to help a bunch to get things running smoothly once again.

I'm going to try to make this a politics free zone since it seems it is now GAME ON for redundant political advertisements. We not only a Presidential Race which is pretty decided already, but the GOP bickering for nominations AND the RECALL's so it'll be non stop spin for the the next 8 months.

However - one tiny thing I have to bring up is the fact that while Walker is lawyering up with some of Wisconsins most expensive lawyers (which he boast's is all from his personal money) the feds (who he is is lawyering up against) are labeling this little inquiry, a RICO Investigation.

In case you don't know what a RICO investigation is. RICO stands for "Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations". There was a loophole you see that has been closed. For instance. If you ordered a hit on a guy and the hit man was caught, BEFORE, you would not be guilty. Now since you ordered the hit you are as guilty as the hit man.

You seem the implications? When what's her name, the woman Walker personally hired, although he claims he did not have a clue what she did 25 feet from his office, pleaded not guilty, she HAD too. If she took the bullet and said guilty, HE would also be guilty.

If the RECALLS don't work, he will be lead away in hand cuffs at some point anyway. All these people with "I Stand By Walker" signs in their yard can stand by him in jail!  Freaking corrupt SOB!

Mowed the yard yesterday, March 25th. The yard looks GREAT. I had the mower up at it's highest settings.

One thing I learned while working up on the square in Madison is that yard grass is awesome lush, soft and barefoot worthy when you mow at the highest settings. I can not see why people scalp their yard down to a 1/4 inch. Makes no sense at all. It burns the ground, feels scratchy and you actually mow more often. So it's more work, looks bad AND feels bad.What is the upside?

Did I hear that DUC Computers has close their Internationale offices in Columbus? I didn't tell you that a couple weeks ago I was driving by and saw a guy in the store. So I slammed on the brakes and walked in. Brad Frye says "Hi I was just thinking about you, I need your phone numbers" and yada yada yada. I asked about my computer and he said I could pick it up tomorrow. I said when (not really believing him)and he said let's set up an appointment. sigh.

I said OK 10:00. Next day I'm there at 10:00 and SURPRISE! He's a no show.

Well the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection called me the other day and asked all sorts of questions, asked for copy's of the checks and they are building a case. I hope he has not disappear. It was all on a very "need to know" basis but this investigator seemed to have it together.

Working on the 2012 Antique & Classic Boat Show poster which OF COURSE, will be on the weekend when EVERYTHING in the world is happening. It seems that August 4th and 5th is the BIG BIG day for all events! DJs dad has a big big tribute at Miller Park in Milwaukee on the 4th, I HAD a large art fair on the 5th, the Classic Boat Show is on the 4th, The Great American Time Machine Festival in Columbus starts on the 4th. Hydro Street has their Beer Fast on the 5th. sigh

Hunger Games

Well, not a bad 1st weekend with $155 million. I went to the best place for reviews, The Golf Forum. I wanted to see what Republican Males were saying about the movie (golfers are a high percentage of conservative Republicans) and while most said the movie was good they also said the book is SO much better (of course)!!

I'm in book two of The Game of Thrones and know that the HBO series is right smack on the book. Season Two starts in a week and from what I have read it does depart a little from the book - HOWEVER - double the huge budget, more blood and more sex, wow, can't get better then that!!

I'll have to wait on The Hunger Game book. Amazon is just over the top with reviews so I can't get a good idea on it.

Have a good average Monday
