Big Saturday Night

MISSING - did anybody record Missing last week?  the debut was on at midnight because of the basketball tournament.  The PROBLEM is that Missing was missing a track,  the word track.  All I get are background sounds and explosions but there are no words.   Anybody else have this problem?  is it a DIRECT TV thing? WKOW problem?

Spring is getting close. The Brewers are starting to send players down in spring training so that always means warm weather is sure to come soon!

What? it's 59 right now? The average High is 44 while the average low is 24 so we are 35 degrees above the average low with only 3 more record high days to come. Then the GREAT COOL DOWN happens and we will only be 20 degrees above normal this coming weekend! brrrrrrrr get out the winter coats!!

Tomorrow should be the warmest day of the group so far hitting the middle 80s. Don't worry, there is no actual cold weather to speak of in the next 10 days. There is just nothing to move this ridge of high pressure off of us and most models are starting to raise the temps for next weekend.

The one good thing (among many) about this weather is that it's great for carbonating beer which needs to be near 70 degrees.

Speaking of beer. Hydro Street Brewing has my Kentucky Common on tap. It turned out great. Getting lots of compliments from strangers. It's like a dark Heineken ale. Came from a recipe from the 1900's. Seems a little . . grainy like if I had used an English Maris Otter barley as the base grain but it must be from all the flaked grains. It was a mess to brew and the mash was more like oatmeal.

Speaking of Hydro Street Brewing. I tasted their Belgium Pale Ale at a big event in Columbus and it's pretty darn good.  Lori Compas is running against former Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald and Hydro was the beer of choice. Pretty good Pale Ale I thought.

Large and excited crowd at the event and I need to get more non-trick out photos ready.  I have to work on my journalistic approach to photos.  

 Who would imagine that on March 17th it would be a beautiful summer night!

What I like about this shot is that you can see Venus and Saturn on the left side of the photo. Venus is on top and Saturn is below.

Afterword DJ and I stopped in at Hydro and the Driftless Bluegrass Band was playing. I tell yea - this is the closest you can get to the pubs and bars on St.John USVI. Very relaxed and informal. Awesome atmosphere!  All they need are a few dogs roaming the tables looking to get head scratches.

Lori Compas came in with her war council later on that night.  The big thing was that a friend from high school was the DJ for the event.  I had not seen him in about 30 years and the last time I saw him he had hair not unlike Gregg Allman but maybe a little longer!  We were at HSB until about 12:30.

Speaking of RECALLS

I see some people saying that Walker never had a clue that there were shenanigans going on and he had no clue that his staff was using tax payer money.  hmmmmmm  Let's look at some facts  . . .

From the beginning . . .

At Marquette University, Scott Walker was disqualified from running for Student body President due to corruption in his campaign that Walker proclaimed he knew nothing about.  REALLY?   They  literally disqualified him from running for student body President, yet Scott Walker was totally oblivious to the corruption undertaken on his behalf, just ask him.

As Milwaukee county Executive, County workers were working on campaign activities, while clocked into their taxpayer funded jobs.  Meaning the Walker administration was forcing taxpayers to pay for his re-election activities, yet once again, Scott Walker, "integrity intact" , knew absolutely nothing of the criminal activity taken on his behalf.

Kelly Rindfleisch, personally hired by Scott Walker, without the knowledge of then Chief of Staff Tom Nardelli, and an individual who was granted legal immunity in the pay for play legislative scandal in Madison around 2000 that brought down Dem Majority Leader Chuck Chvala,  and  Republican Speaker of the Assembly Scott Jensen, to work in an office 25 feet from Scott Walker's office, yet Gov. Walker who personally hired Kelly Rindfleisch, knew nothing about her criminal activities on his behalf?

At every stage in his career, scandal and criminal activity has followed Walker, yet once again, he is totally innocent of all charges.  He has hired two criminal trial lawyer experts because he is so  innocent.  Yea - OK.  LOL

Latest polls have Santorum crushing Romney in Wisconsin and Romney crushing Santorum in ILL.  I can't wait to be inundated with advertisements!
