ZERO PERCENT.

This being near the 60th time we have come to Door County we pretty much know what to expect.  NOT THIS TIME. 

Early October it's always amazing fantastic color time in Door but this year.  ZERO PERCENT.  We were talking to Mathew the fish boil guy and he was also commenting on the lack of color this year. 

We sort of know Mathew because his father was the guy that brought fish boils to Door in the 50s and my parents new him.  We started going to fish boils in the late 50s and my dad who seemed to know EVERYONE was friends with him.   Dad was a Mason and had a knack of talking to everyone and anyone, a trait that I seemed to have picked up.  I remember dad flashing his ring a few times when the family was in some sort of distress. 

ANYWAY - no color.  Not one speck.  NOT complaining though.  This is scene from our balcony as we wake up.  

Yea - we had a fish boil last night.  AS always - really really good. 

 Mathew also owns Caseys BBQ in Egg Harbor. The guy probably hates fish after doing this 10,000 times.

I'm not going to get into this whole gun thing.  Even after Las Vegas America is near an all time low in gun homicides.  Sorry my liberal friends.  OH - gun suicides are near an all time high. Take away guns and suicide deaths drop like a rock.  Bottom line - More guns = more deaths.

What happened in LV is nothing new. America is not changing  There have been mass deaths for hundreds of years.  in 1873 150 African Americans were hanged. In 1949 13 people were killed by a neighbor. 8 concert goers were killed in 1903. 

"If we focus on mass shootings as a means of understanding how to reduce the number of people killed by guns in this country, we’re likely to implement laws that don’t do what we want them to do — and miss opportunities to make changes that really work. Gun violence isn’t one problem, it’s many. And it probably won’t have a single solution, either."

Although the killer DID own 42 guns with a few AR-15s

I'm sure our lair in Chief is breathing easier now that we are not focused on his FUBR Puerto Rico mess he wants to just go away.

Ever think about tackling Eli Manning? You next chance is coming if you are a LACharger.

Five teams have less then a 5% chance of making the NFL playoffs.  Cleveland, San Francisco, LAChargers,  NYGiants and DA BEARS.
