Hide your Children, It's a Polar Vortex

Well, first of all let's all hope Dennis Rodman, who has taken a group of ex-NBA players to North Korea to give Kim Jung Un a birthday present . . . LOSES!!  We all know what happened to Kim Jung Un's Uncle right?

NO NO NO it NEVER happened. Kim Jung Un's uncle was never thrown to 120 starving dogs!  Excuited yes, eaten. no.  The story about this first broke in Wen Wei Po a Hong Kong newspaper which is basically like the Nat'l Enquirer of Hong Kong!

Still!!!  Rodman would be smart to lose  #NBAonCrack.

OH - did I mention that it was cold?  It's 7:39 in the morning and I have -16.8 and still falling. Should fall for a few more hours.   I WISH my weather station was working for the internet but alas, my Win98 machine has become a dust collector and my actual weather station has the wrong plugs for a computer built in the last decade. 

I decided this morning about 4:00AM to look into upgrading.

Yea - 4:00AM.  I was wide awake.  You know - when you wake up and your brain is just doing too much thinking.  Well I do have a cure and it has worked 100% of the time.  1 aspirin and a gulp of milk.  I believe the aspirin thins the blood just enough to allow the triptophan in milk to put you to sleep.

Or it's a placibo.

ANYWAY - it's freaking cold.

Polar Vortex's are nothing new.  They resemble Hurricanes almost and are normally in the arctic, however sometimes they break apart.  The last time we experienced one was 2009.

An example is if you take a pot on the stove with suds or whatever and stir it in one direction.  In the middle would be the cold air in the arctic a vortex of extreme cold.  But when you stop stirring the spin slows and it breaks up into little eddies.  This is what has happened. The spin slows, breaks up and slides down the side of the earth.  The good thing is that these do now last long.

 
Here in Wisconsin we will be in the middle 30s by Saturday.

This is NOT like a arctic oscillation which is like a Yamaka of cold air on top of the world that slips down.  These can take a while to fix themselves. 

So hang tight, feed the birds.

OH - I saw White Walkers this morning (only Game of Thrones people would get that).

Downton Abby - for ANY Downton Abby fans - check out this spoof that stars Lady Mary(Michelle Dockery)

Packers - well, what comes around . . . . . .  Last week the Packers won because Julius Peppers took an inside route to Rodgers and Rodgers escaped to win the game because Peppers did not hold the end.  This week Jarrett Bush of the Packers took the inside route, didn't hold the end and Kaepernick escapes and basically wins the game. 

But what lost the game was that the Packers only had three quarters of offense while the 49ers used all four quarters. 
--------------------------------

Wisconsin Badgers  LOL.  Well, now - talk about a BIG game getting a "oh yea the Badgers" on TV stations.  I have to think that the Iowa coach learned a lesson last night.  Don't physically threaten the ref's during a game.  There player fouls our guy and he just goes BERSERK!!   Not only do our guys, who are losing 41-39 get two free throws, but ALSO FOUR MORE because of two technical fouls!  All of a sudden its 44-41 and the #4 team in the goes on to beat the #22, BY FOUR POINTS!! 

---------------------------

And finally - my NBA systems are 156-116  +28.4 units. Has to be one of, if not the best, in the country.
