HA - saw this this morning and was SHOCKED - but not surprised. LOL
DJ spotted this - because you were interested in . . . .

SO - once again I have things going on in the morning that messes up the morning blog - sadly getting a plumber to attache a gas line is not one of my problems - OH - the problem is GETTING a plumber to come to the house (no one seems to want too) so THAT schedule is not a problem. We have had a new gas stove ready for deliver for 3 weeks now. BUT - no gas line.
Today is the DMV calling. I need to switch licence plates on cars as a new car is in my very near term future. The old AWOOO with 253,000 miles will become my "truck".
The left blinker does not work 100% of the time and since I could get pulled over at anytime by the CPD who have no problem pulling people over for a broken blinker and I really don't want to spend $300+ on a blinker (yes, they cost that much AND I have to take off the steering column). So I'm
literally afraid to drive my car in Columbus.
++++++
ANYWAY - Packers won - not a surprise actually. Wisconsin football won (big deal) and fell in the rankings but come on - rankings are a popularity contest, nothing more and totally meaningless.

Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the NBA is scoring with 31.7 points a game. And with new PG Bledsoe driving to the basket will help the Bucks a ton taking pressure off Giannis.

Speaking of water and light. Did you see Linden will raise their water rates 210% and DeForest 57%. People complain about Columbus Water and Light rates for water. I ask them "so how much are you paying per 100 cubic feet of water" and the answer is always - "I don't know" so . . . . how do you know it's a lot? Maybe you just use a crap load of water?? ($3.50 per 100 cubic feet for the first 1,250 feet). Let's get some facts here. OH - "how many cubic feet of water do you use in a month" "ummmmm, I don't know". YEA!!!
It's MUCH easier to complain (look at the GOP).

Speaking of the GOP, Alabama's Roy Moore, the latest devote Christian that loves fondling little girls. 30 people who knew him in those years thought it was common knowledge that he would hang out at High School football games when he was in his 30s and go out with high school girls. But nobody would mention it since he was pretty powerful.
OH - he can't remember. Yea - like guys can't remember girls they had sex with in their past. He can't remember dating a 16 year old girls when he was in his 30s? OH - he remembers DATING them but not the sex part. Yea - THAT is believable.
*********************
The SF 49ers and the NY Giants met up yesterday. It was the very first time 2 teams with a combined 1 win as late as week 10 met. AND - the game was telecast to the two biggest markets.
In the Packer game The Bears had one of the worst challenges ever that went from maybe a touchdown to actually losing the ball. On that one play the chances of the Bears winning the game, according to Win Probability dropped 20% ON ONE PLAY.
Of the top 50 winningest schools in NCAAB and NCAAF the number one school? Wisconsin - As it stands right now — comparing the harmonic mean of the basketball and football teams of those top 50 schools — the University of Wisconsin is currently the best two-sport school in the country.
Greg Gard took the men’s basketball team to the Sweet 16 last season, and Paul Chryst’s football team is currently 9-0 and ranked No.8 in the College Football Playoff rankings.
************************
Remember that 2 man Montana company that nobody gave a contract too but somehow they were awarded a HUGE contract (that nobody approved) from Trump for fixing the energy problem in Puerto Rico?
They were charging $319 per hour per lineman to do the job. OH - each lineman only got $42 an hour, the 2 heads of the company got the rest. So much for trickle down economics right? OH - those two gave a lot of money to the GOP.

New York State is the cigarette smuggling capital of the world. They add $4.35 to each pack of cigs in tax for a total of $5.85 for a pack (how much is a normal pack here??) Well, the States figures it lost $895 million due to black market sales.
*****************
There was a test at an ER - men and woman went to the ER and rated their pain on a 1-11 scale. The average was 8.6. After taking Tylenol and ibuprofin the average pain dropped to 4.6. After taking Tylenol and oxycodone the average pain was 4.4. NOT a lot of difference. . . except with oxycodone you still feel pain . . .but don't care.
Instead of looking to arrest people with barley legal pullover and searches I feel our police department should be proactive and not reactive - visit schools and educate the children. Do something that actually works and educate the children that are still able and WANT to learn from adults.
Speaking of pain. My 3rd root canal seems to have failed. SEEMS root canals only last 30 years.

Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross had an undisclosed financial link to 75 ships that carry oil around the world. Seems he thought that should be a secret to the American people.
*****************
WEATHER - I don't see any 50s in our future. I do see a CRAPPY Friday and a windy cold Saturday. Should have peaks of sun all week and upper 40s and a big cool down and sunny NEXT week. Highs in the low 30s IF we get to 30.
Cheers
