Mystery Solved

I tell ya! "A Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book One" is an awesome book. Few times in my book reading life have words had a physical effect on me. There have been a few times when I reach the end of a chapter and while the events were not exciting the words and how things transpired made something in me move. . . . .or it could have been that pizza I ate.
------------------------------

The Columbus Fire Department and the Columbus Police Department have let the citizens of Columbus down this week. First the Fire Department tells a developer it's OK to burn brush for 4 days south of Cbus. Who cares if there is smoke drifting into peoples houses 24/7 for 4+ days straight. After all the Chief does not live there. Who cares that when you wake up a 4:00 in the morning you see flames from an unattended fires.

Then the Police Department decides on a whim there will be no parking near the elementary/middle schools. Of course they don't care about the city residents who park on the street and now must find new places to park.
---------------------------

On the brighter things. I have watched way to many Brewer games this year and I have noticed behind the batters in the front row was a woman who was keeping pitch by pitch scores. She always had the same exact seat. Now I'll admit that the woman in question was rather good looking. The thing that got me was that she seemed to always be alone and at every game. Different people were always next to her. Who was she? A players wife? Someone working for the Brewers? She was always very "into" the game.


Mystery solved.

Adubya did some research and it seemed other people had been wondering the same question. She is referred to as "Front-Row Amy" on WisSports.net. According to WisSports.net "Apparently, she has had season tickets for three years, and comes to the games by herself. She was in the third row the past few years, but was able to move up to the first row this year. She also commutes from Oshkosh for the games...and the clincher as far as convincing me that this is "our girl," she said that likes to be there alone, so she "can focus on the game and keep score."

Her actual name is Amy Williams(42). She is on Twitter, where she describes herself as "the most passionate Brewers fan you will ever meet."

She also says there that she loves to dance and work out.

Here is a Twitter post - guess she is not a Cub fan

Last night of golf was last night (odd sentence there).  Hit the ball well, didn't score but I was making contact with authority (for the most part).

Big day in sports  Brewers Badgers and Packers.  I put $10 on the trifecta.  Brewers to win, Packers to cover 4 and Badgers to cover 35.  If all of those come in I with $56.

It's a very very silly bet but how often can a person play all three games! 

Don't worry about the Brewers.  They are playing like a NORMAL good team now, can't expect them to win 75% of all their games.  If they win today (they are huge favorites) the Cards have only gained 1 game.   Heck, if the Brewers lose all 6 games tot eh Cards they are still up by what 4.5?

Stay cool tonight!
