If Jerry Jones owned the Badgers, and What Is Up With Pluto

If Jerry Jones owned the Badgers what would he say about the outcome of the game Saturday night?

"It was a moral victory".  As promised, I told ya the Badgers would cover the spread!  Piece of cake!

This blog will get a tad more boring now that I'm officially an unofficial official. I can no longer take jib jabs at people and speak my mind with no filter like the old days. I'm putting on my filter cap and will keep things pent up inside my brain now.

No one has been contacted in anyway about the election so no one actually knows if anyone has won,  but I'm assuming that the 16 absentee ballots have been counted and tallied with no major surprises.

I was at Enerpac Friday and be warned, back into their stalls. It's a safety thing. Talk about an international feel to a place.  I was only allowed into the public area but was really impressed with the look at feel of the place.  Can't wait for tour.  I don't think most people really understand how big this company is in world wide operations.  

I think something I'm going to try to do is perhaps have an article in the newspaper spotlighting all of the larger (and smaller for that matter) businesses in Columbus, maybe once a month or something.  Might have to cut back on photos of people giving big checks to other people.


I mean I bet most people don't even know what American Packaging does which is really outstanding.

What could possibly go wrong. 

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

The jobs report came in Friday for the U.S. and it was interesting as the economy added 192,000 jobs in March, the 42nd consecutive month of growth.  However, total payroll is still 400,000 below what it was way back on January 2008 which is mostly state and local government employees. 

The problem is the U.S. has grown by 14,000,000 people.

The 192,000 is pretty consistent with how things have been growing at a slow but steady pace but previous months have all be revised up a little.  Slow and steady.

Last (or the month before last month)  month wages ticked up 9 cents which on one hand seems good but on the other have increased that inflation worry.  In March we ticked down a penny so it is easing the worry about inflation and in the last 12 months wages are still up 2.1%.

The number of Americans WITH jobs grew 500,000 but unemployment held steady.  The number of unemployed workers grew which is actually a good sign as it shows that people are actually starting to look for jobs again (sounds like spin but it's not).  The number of “discouraged workers”is down 13% this last 12 months.

Gotta love numbers!

In case you missed it, Pluto is no longer a planet.  So take your kids science books out and make the correction.  It's a DWARF Planet now.  I mean come on. Pluto is smaller then our moon and our moon has FIVE TIMES THE MASS of Pluto.   Pluto is half ice, if we move Pluto closer to earth IT WOULD MELT  . . . AND . . . . . grow a tail.   Planets do not grow tails!  Pluto is basically a comet because comets have tails.  Pluto is just sitting around so no tail.  It's a lazy icy comet.  

Make the corrections in the school books and move on.

I walked around taking photos of Downtown for an application the town is applying for and I've only looked at like 5 of the photos so far here is a cool one.
