Andy Traxler / Star Man

It's been a long time since I got excited over a space launch but yesterday was an different.  Watching the Space X Heavy Falcon take off almost had me giddy and THEN watching 2 of the 3 boosters land in unison was unbelievable . . no really it was . . I thought I was watching a computer animation but then - - IT WAS REAL!!

For anyone that missed it check this out.  What is exciting is it sounds like a basketball game with the cheering at the control center and watch the boosters come back and land about the 9 minute mark.  Amazing

So - after seeing that people are wondering where the 3rd booster went.  Obviously not where it was expected to land. 

BUT - in an exclusive photo never seen before I believe Columbus will have a new attraction and I think our Tourism committee has a bunch of work to do. TAKE THAT SUN PRAIRIE!!!

 

I believe the next course of action is to get a big bed sheet to drape this Space X erection to hide it temporally if  they come looking. 

SADLY there will need to be a million dollar road reconstruction project underneath the booster and a few cars were vaporized on landing and they are suing the city, much to the delight of our City Attorney, Paul Yes and No Johnson, who was seen wringing his hands in glee.

The ultra humorous thing is this is a real image from space



The tip of the rocket had a dummy (or is it Jimmy Hoffa) in a space suit in a Tesla with David Bowie playing an endless loop traveling into deep space for the next few million or so years.

I mentioned the other day that "I" had discovered peanut butter and bananas are an amazing combination.  Well, I did not discover this.  Actually alderman Andy Traxler (get traction with Traxler) was the one that enlightened me to this combo.

It is because of this that I an fulling endorsing ANDY TRAXLER, the Trax Man for alderman District 1. He will be in a primary in a few weeks  VOTE FOR ANDY.  Get out and vote.

Here is a fantastic production from JT (City) and Jesse (cable) with Columbus WI news - Bravo guys.  Watch The Dark Store Loophole part.

980 News with JT & Jesse - February from Columbus Wisconsin on Vimeo.

And the theme song of Parks and Recreation, one of the funniest shows that used to be on TV is hilarious.  There are so many similarities with that show and Columbus.   If you have never watched the show check it out on Netflix.

In the unbelievable weird things to try to make a boat load of money on, there is VelocityShares Daily Inverse VIX Short-Term shares.  This is some weirdo thing that you can bet on market volatility, or lack of actually.

WELL - as we all know the stock market has been on a wild ride for last few days - exactly what people who invested in VelocityShares Daily Inverse VIX Short-Term shares do not want.

Their shares fell 93% the last few days wiping out $1.9 BILLION in peoples money.  OOPS!   Well, that little thing is no longer a viable process and was disbanded.

Sounds more and more like Obama's former Attorney General Eric Holder will run for President (or is it King now?)

And of course Trump wants a full military parade so America and pump it's chest and show off all of it's power like Russia does.


As for weather?

I think most of the snow will land Friday morning but there will be a strong line between snow and no snow so the ol' a few miles north or south will mean a big difference.  Stay tuned.  Just not a lot of moisture in the air.  A lot of snow never hit the ground last night.

Monday a warming trend develops and we get NEAR average.  almost 30   mmmmm warm.

Cheers
