Columbus received 3.5 inches
Portage 2.8
Wisconsin Dells 2.0
Madison 4.9
Beaver Dam 3.1
Whitewater 5.0
Milwaukee 4.0
Going into a quiet period for a while now - should see a good amount of sun that will help our roads melt a little so the few people that complain about the impassable roads in Columbus will calm down. Yea - some people were literally complaining about winter roads. They have never lived in Madison. You want bad winter roads, live in Madison.
Should be cool until Tuesday when we start a warming trend to get to average. But look at it this way, average will feel GREAT!
Gus The Weather Dog loves the new snow.

I have a class mate in Pyeongchang, her son is on the bobsled team. She sent this wonderful photo of some of the great food that have there. These are literally called penis fish but are a spoon worm. YEA - that makes it MUCH more appetizing.
She said the Opening Ceremony was not really cold at all.

So the stock market is taking a big dump, an actual 10% correction. This has happened 131 times in the market history and 56% of the time after 3 months later the market is above where it started. Just a blip but one that could have been avoided if not for the over zealous trillion dollar tax break for the rich in a REALLY REALLY bad time in our economic cycle.
They are fixing something that was not broke. You can't take an economy that is running smoothly, dump some gas on the fire to make it go REALLY fast to gain votes and expect nothing to happen.

sports
The Eagles have the most drafted players in a championship team since 1993. Their drafted players have the highest weighted draft value since the 2000 Ravens with 6 of the 9 starters on their front O and D lines drafted in the 1st or 2nd round.

Cleveland Cavs and the Bucks. Don't look now but in the toughest division in the Eastern conference the Bucks were 2 points away from going into 1st place. But the Cavs pulled a game out in over time.
Bucks still 1 game behind .

Celebrity Big Brother (sort of a sport). I vowed not to watch this show but ended up watching it. Well, ratings are high and watching Omerosa dish out info about the White House is interesting and disturbing. Her being a Trump groupie and all but seems the tide has turned.
One guy asked her who she was (boy band front man) and she said she was a star on The Apprentice. He then asked who she was an apprentice for?? LOL THAT WAS FUNNY. Hhe has no clue who she is.
The Amazing Race - love this show as it goes where travel shows do not go. They spent time in small towns in Zimbabwe. OMG. what a rush. This year all of their contestants are super competitors in real life and it's been a fun ride so far.
*************
Kansas has six candidates running for Governor that are 18 years or younger. Seems there is no age restriction. REMEMBER - Columbus had the youngest Mayor EVER in the United States at one time.
20% of schools in Kansas only have school 4 days a week. GOP budget cuts to education has forced this. WELL DONE. Who needs education anyway. More education will only show people how wrong their ideas are. Better to keep kids stupid and voting like their parents did.
60% of all Obamacare sign ups came from States that voted for Trump. Again. Just keep voting without thinking or even knowing the consequences. Sort of like Wisconsin dairy farmers now seeing the error in their ways.
Orange Juice sales are up for the first time in 5 years. When was the last time you purchased a can of frozen OJ concentrate ??? So - is OJ a con job as a "healthy" drink full of sugar? or a cure for the flu!
A former Navy Seal that killed Bin Laden called the Trump military parade a "third world bullshit". Seems he went to a NCO and talked to Marines who all said they would never walk in any military parade unless a tank was dragging the President behind them.
Seems everyone in the White House knew Rob Porter was a wife beater but didn't care.
OH OH - got tickets to see Brit Floyd at Red Rocks. Of course we COULD see them at the Overture Center but Red Rocks is so much cooler. We will have to LIVE Facebook during the concert . . in June.
There was an article "The most famous movie that was made in every state - Wisconsin? Dawn of the Dead. Really? $59 million. Public Enemies $97 million. AND GET THIS - this actually JUST HAPPENED.
I got a text as I was typing the word "Public Enemies" from Street Light man that Micheal Mann talks about Public Enemies in Jay Leno's Garage. So weird. creep actually.
Have a great weekend - maybe see some of you at the Club House auction.
Cheers
