The Edge of Tomorrow

Let's just get to the actual facts and do away with wild rumors floating around the internet. There are absolutely zero talks about contracting out the Columbus Police Department so you can stop the phone calls. It would take a LOT more then a comment to contract out. Probably a referendum and so forth, who knows.

WITH THAT SAID - feel free to call me as it gives me the opportunity to inform people of the reality and embarrassment of the City's financial situation.

So when you see on facebook and get emails that the City Council is talking about contracting out the police department so we can have better roads, step away from the computer and stop running around with your hands in the air. You are being fed a bunch of hooey and you should no longer trust where you get your news.

Thousands of years ago, cats were worshiped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this.

Sofie thought that was funny.

Did you know cat urine glows under black light??

Went to Webbers to get tires Friday - WHAT WAS I THINKING! I completely had a brain farted. I had been putting off getting tires until we were close to snow and then all of a sudden I NEED TIRES.

So I thought I would get there early before they opened to be close to the front of the line. As I drive up at 7:15 . . what??? are they having a town meeting?? I put my name on the list and I was in the middle of the blue sheet, not so bad . . . wait . . . that is the second sheet?

Long story short. I went out to my car and watched a movie (NOT Edge of Tomorrow) AND a TV show on Netflix on my iPad and I was half way down the list.

The odd thing is that you become friends with all these people. It's a pretty amazing wait. I mean I'm standing there 3 hours in and a woman stands in line and is told it will be a 4 to 5 hour wait. The woman says "OK, I'll be in my car". WHAT????

When my name was called to see what kind of tires I need, I still had a hour wait. When your name is called because you car is ready people high five you and slap you on the back congratulating you.

In at 7:15, out at 11:30.

My plan was to go to Duffy's but he would need a day at least to get the tires and I needed them tomorrow.

Watched the worst movie title of all time. The Edge of Tomorrow - Live. Die. Repeat. I LOVED it. If you are a game player this ROCKS. Great plot, great acting, very exciting. Very well done and not just repeating what you saw already. 93% of people on Flixter who wanted to see it gave it 5 stars which is unheard of ratings.

Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise are pretty darn good.
