It helps when your daughters house is inside base camp and they have a hose hooked up to her house buying water.

SO - here is the scoop given to me by a reporter about that Beaver Dam apartment and why they had to burn it down with all (or most) residents personal belongings still inside the building.
The explosive's that were found are set off by friction. When the FBI had that controlled explosion to get rid of the chemical it splattered into adjoining apartments and thus . . .if you went inside to collect your stuff you could accidentally set off more explosions.
They burned the building because at 1500 degrees the chemical becomes inert.

Recently there has been news that Russia is trying to hack our power infrastructure. No worries at Columbus Water and Light. "We" are like Battle Star Galactica and are off the main grid. Plus I can't see Russia too concerned over Columbus WI. . . . . . . . . or are they!

Then there is Space Station News - who knew that a year in outer space changes your DNA. I guess it does. Well, there goes THAT plan! I like my DNA.

Biggest movie of the year that millennial's are all waiting for because this reality is a lot closer to THEM then it is to us old guys! Still - I need to see this
"Ready Player One" looks pretty darn good. Plus - any movie that uses one of my favorit all time rock bands Depech Mode
The funny thing is that tweets and comments are all dissing EA Sports the horrific gaming company that is ruining all video sports games by putting out untested products.
"The villains are basically EA. They want to control the game and add micro transactions."
"Holy Shit if EA take over the Oasis"
And of course people that read the book are horrified as they ruined it. I have not seen many movies that were BETTER then then book.

Speaking of sex scandals - it seems the parties are reversing their views as Democrats turn more conservative and Republicans turn more liberal.
RIGHT NOW - 82% of Democrat's believe Trumps extramarital is immoral while 52% of Republicans believe it is immoral.
In 1998 77% of Democrat's thought Clinton's extramarital was a private matter while 28% of Republicans thought it was a private matter. Sort of reverse. Seems there is some hypocrisy going on here. Just sayin'

I want to point out that it sounds like I am anti-police force which I am not. Anybody that will give their life to save mine . . . . . . sell, that is dumb anyway but still. I respect them for the most part . . . .not ALL the time but . . . . .
AND LITERALLY as I am typing this Detective Smith from Birmingham is trying to contact me - NOW WHAT!!

Weather - besides the East coast getting ready for Nor'easter #4 (LOL - totally sucks to be the east coast) here is Wisconsin we are getting really lucky as a good size storm system will slide by south in the middle of the night and we won't even notice it.
Beautiful weekend coming up with light winds and a ton of sunshine. A cool week ahead AFTER the weekend and could get messy next weekend but this being spring things are moving all over the place so who knows.

baseball math question - a common idea is do not steal a base unless you will WIN 67% of the time.
HOWEVER - what if there are more then 0 outs.
Man on 1st 0 outs you will score 41.6% of the time
Man on 2nd 0 outs you will score 61.4% of the time
So it makes sense to steal, 20% difference right?
But what about if there is 1 out - the numbers are 26.5% and 39.7%
and with 2 outs 12.7% and 21.6%
I have yet to figure out exactly the percentages I need to use for chancing aggressive running as taking an extra base (like from 2nd to 3rd) has the same issues
