Tasteless in Columbus

I'm sitting here with no taste buds and no smell buds and eating my oatmeal. YUMMO!! Talk about a wonderful event!! I feel better, STILL have a dry cough and I am tasteless (there insert joke). ANY DOCTORS IN THE HOUSE??

In other news - pretty exciting morning here is Wisconsin, thunder, PLENTY of lightning and flooding rains. And this is just round #1.

Doing some quick calculations we had about one and one half inches of rain in the last few hours.

Columbus is 3.99 square miles so Columbus had about three hundred forty one million, three hundred thirteen thousand, eight hundred thirty two gallons of water dropped on it. Isn't that amazing?

On this day in 1968 Robert Kennedy was shot. If any of you ever have a chance to see the Special by Tom Brokow about all the events of 1968 you really really should watch it. It was a turning point in American History.

June 3rd was Anderson Coopers Birthday. Lot's of Birthdays in June.

Columbus has a pretty cool celebration coming up next weekend. It's called the Columbus Carriage Classic and features horse drawn carriages from all over the MidWest. Sort of like a Civil War Reenactment without the solders and guns and war but with more woman and children and buggies.

I guess horses would be the only thing in common actually.

Plus huge amazon woman. (sorry, I couldn't resist)

Man - my ears are clogged - I can actually hear my brain working.

But seriously - it's a pretty interesting group of events lasting Friday,Saturday and Sunday (13th through 15th).

There is a parade of sorts also.

I'll have to see how many carriages total there are, the website is a little lacking in facts and figures (I WANT NUMBERS - LOL). I know Todd just sits around most days wondering what to do and dusting a little (I think he said something like that when I saw him at Julies Java House).

Todd & Cheryl Frey started Colonial Carriage Works in 1993 and have over 200 carriages. Before we moved to Columbus I didn't even know places like this even existed except on Amish farms. I went into their store in Columbus and was floored . They have some seriously cool rides. I wish Blake our Corgi would pull one, I'd buy it. BUT - he is more into riding.

I'll remind you of the CCC next week.

A Brewers note.

The bullpen has allowed four earned runs in its last 35 innings pitched.

hmmm - now my ears are ringing.

My body is like a carnival ride today - I never know what is coming next!

OK - I have nothing more to say.
