Cup of Joes and Bouncing Bombs, the perfect morning.

.

I'm not having a very fecund day when it comes to brain power so bear (bare?) with me as I meander around sifting sand through my fingers looking for a trace of an idea for todays blog.

Did you see the Viking game last night? No wonder Favre has such a big head. The national headlines read "Favre of old emerges, torches Texans".

What? When did that happen? I saw a lot of safe dink and dunk passes, illegal blocks which injured the guy and him getting sacked 2? 3? times and hitting the ground 3 more times. I'm not going to get upset when I see him do well, I know the demons will come out sooner or later and Minnesota fans will have their "Favre" moments!

I see the fires in California are getting "angry". But even with an "angry" fire some of those crazy Californians are, well, being crazy. Like those guys that tried to ride out the fire in their hot tub? Bad idea! As the fire fighter said "the hot tub provided no protection whatsoever."

Lesson learned.

Then there is that article about troops returning to America with poor driving habits. They are still dodging road side bombs, driving in the middle of the road and busting through intersections without stopping.

And of course is the Udey dam debacle. The loud supporters of SAVE THE DAMN DAM because a large chunk of 100 year old cement is so pretty we want to spend $372,000 to fix it. But now the price for destroying the dam has dropped $50,000 to $170,000.

I think the Air Force listened to me and a few sidewinder missiles could take out the dam in just a few seconds. OR OR - better yet a British bouncing bomb would do the trick.

On a side note - the cost of sending out the 1000 random ballots as suddenly increased by $50,000, offsetting the $50,000 saved and somehow bringing the save/destroy option back to even and another vote is on the agenda.

Main street Gallery is having an open house Friday Sept 11 to show off the new digs. Refreshments, INCLUDING popcorn will be served. For a fun story ask Kim about the freaky untold history of the wagon.

This year is a special year for Survivor as it was the one I was going to be on if it was not for Public Enemies. Well, I was going to apply again and I'm sure, THIS TIME, they were going to pick me for the show.

So since I was going to be on the show I'll be living my "show experience" through one of the contestants and after much personal reflection I found the guy that most shares my life experiences. Russel. uncanny ain't it, he could be my brother.

But - I'll wait until after the 1st episode before I lock in my Survivor selection. Join me each week as I talk about what "I" did on the show and my totally unbiased thoughts about me.

The cast of Survivor Samoa.

And finally - Today is the day I put up eight canvas images at Starbucks on the Square in Madison. Come on down and check them out and have a cup of Joe. In fact you should order a grande joe and see if the barista has a clue what you are talking about.

barista = a professional who is highly skilled in coffee preparation with a comprehensive understanding of coffee.

yea - ok.

May the holes in your net be no larger than the fish in it.
