NO Beaver Dam - just say no to trees

The mayor of Beaver Dam wants more trees in their downtown.  Does she realize that those trees could randomly fall over and hurt a child?  Does the city want to take on that huge responsibility? 

And what about the leaf problem filling up their recycling center 's which will have to be expanded.

NUTTIN' BUT PROBLEMS LADY!!!   Do not try to beautify your downtown.  INSTEAD, invest that money in cement for parking lots for big box stores.   One square of cement will last much longer then a tree that will be dead within 2 years!

HOWEVER - if you do plant trees make sure you plant them correctly and remember - cement last longer.  ======>

But in reality - isn't this a cool idea?



Notice those bricks!  Yea - that is why we did not ant bricks

So the Series is over and my opinion is that the LA Manager over managed. Yea - he had a clue but I really liked the Houston Manager who knew about sabrmetrics but also understood sometimes you need to go with what is working.   When a starting pitcher is taken out with a 1 hitter and that hit was a home run . . . it's not a sign that he has lost it.

One of the reason I do not believe you can bet on baseball (I have tried for 40 years) is because baseball is a random game with random events. It's why you play 162 games instead of 16 or 81 or whatever hockey (that niche' sport) plays.

Using a bastardized version of the Pythagorean Theorem  even a game between the very best and very worst team in the American League the best team has only a 71% chance of winning the game. 

In collage football (one of the worst lopsided sports in America) Ball State is playing Eastern Michigan, not close at all to the best or worst teams E.Mich as a 92% chance of winning the game.

BUT - I digress.

Great series.

But the real controversy is Carlos Correa asking his girlfriends hand in marriage after the game.  People are all in a tizzy because it should be a special day, not linked to the 7th game of the WS.

I say look - the one thing he has worked for all his life, the very very best day possible, the top of the pyramid, and his one thought is asking his girlfriend to marry him. His #1 thought was about HER. 

Pretty special I think.

So it's OK for our President to grope woman and brag about it but not for actors?  I'm so confused who can and who can not grope a woman now.  If the Conservatives say it's OK for the President to grope and molest and brag but not actors . . . .who is right?  Well, the people in charge of our government say it's fine, grope away.

And don't give my that bull shit excuse that "Well, Clinton did it"  BETWEEN TWO CONSENTING ADULTS!!           

So now - Conservatives say sex between two consenting adults is bad, but a President that gropes woman and brags is, just locker room talk? (which I have never actually heard in a locker room).

Seriously - guys do not talk about groping woman, we don't talk about woman at all, we are too shallow for that. We talk sports, not women!  But then again, we're not rich and powerful and can grope woman at will (like our President).

I have no problem with Republicans when they are in office.  I don't like their faulty economics and social rules (groping is allowed if you are a President) but it's their turn. "We" have a turn and now it is theirs.  But Trump is not a real Republican. He is a con-man who has put other con-men in office and 70% of the country see's this and 30% are just lemmings who will buy snake oil if it will make them rich.

Sickn's me.

Here is a first world problem.  Our waste dumps are in trouble because Americans no longer eat leftovers.  23% of our dinner food gets dumped.

A study by the American Psychological Association sstates that 59 percent of Americans consider right NOW the lowest point in the nation’s history.
