Lists

Everybody makes lists. I tried to look up "lists' on wikipedia to see who made the first list but all I got was a list. I'll have to conclude that Craig made the first list.

DJ made a list last night continuing the art of list making and I hope that when the big FLASH hits us and we go into nuclear winter we will not lose the ability to make lists because I feel lists are what separate us from most animals which have opposing thumbs!

I mention lists because I found a list which is so true it's scary. You tell me if this lists does not have a ring of truth

1. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when
you realize you're wrong.

2. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when
I was younger.

3. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

4. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

5. Was learning cursive really necessary?

6. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on Hwy 51. I'm
pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

7. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you
how the person died.

8. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of
tired.

9. Bad decisions make good stories.

10. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment
at work when you know that you just are not going to do anything
productive for the rest of the day.

11. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue
Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

12. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it
asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report
that I swear I did not make any changes to.

13. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I
know not to answer when they call.

14. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

15. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or
Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

16. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

17. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and
hunger.

18. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod
and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

19. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up
to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers
and sisters!

20. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get
dirty, and you can wear them forever.

21. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car
keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the
Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3
feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!

22. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874
and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100
years for men to realize that their brain is also important.

And that is today list.

The Brewer Starters in September had an ERA of 2.87 and in the last 20 games the TEAM ERA was 2.79. Carlo Gomez had an OBP of .434 Prince Fielder had a slugging Pct of .281 OUCH! Escobar had an on base Pct of .154.

Remember the Bank Bailout? How 70% of Americans disapproved of it? While I was all for it? It was like finding a Bob Banker a hunter in the woods who had shot himself and was bleeding out. You see him and say, "what a fool" but ya gotta save him. But your buddy Ernie Foxpublican is wringing his hands saying he thinks it best to leave him and the wound will heal on it's own.

All you have is a dirty rag and Ernie says don't use it because he might get an infection and all of Bob Bankers kids will be forced to take care of him all of their lives.  So you say, I'm in power now and I will wrap the dirty bailout rag and save his life.

WELL - seems that rag was not so dirty after all and in fact it looks like America will actually MAKE money. There was no infection at all and the kids are fine, all has been paid back (except for AIG) and America is   financially viable.

If Ernie Foxpublican was in charge we would have at least 25% unemployment, there would be zero savings and retirement accounts as all banks would have failed and we would not be getting out of a so called recession but we would be in a very real depression.

Sometimes, while you might not agree with everything Obama is doing, sometimes, it's good to have a SMART President who is not afraid to make a tough decision.

TARP had it's problems for sure and did not always do what it was meant to do but there is solid proof that TARP saved the world from financial meltdown and cost the American Taxpayers basically nothing.

Stuff that in your pipe Fox News and choke on it.

I shot this on the way home from Green Lake. Just before I passed the manure spreader.

Have a safe weekend and if you are on Tower drive Saturday, Elwood and I could always use some good dirt.

Peace out
