Columbus is in the bulls eye and with the right conditions we could get 6+ inches of rain if the line of storms trains over us. 2 inches is certainly a probability. This is a big deal event and with the ground already saturated that wind could be devastating to many trees in Columbus.
Not trying to sugar coat it but just saying all the right ingredients are there. Bring in any patio furniture.
Madison is shitting bricks with most of the Isthmus preparing to close from floods and the dam nearing it's breaking point. Lake Monona is already the highest in recorded history. Already many roads are underwater in Madison making travel into the city a clusterf*ck (as Elweed puts it).
BTW Elweed's condo where he works and takes care of the gardens is completely sand bagged. The only good thing is he gets free bussing to work as many roads are closed.

Anybody have suggestion on deck builders? The one we were going to hire is booked for 2 years. Ours needs repair, replace and augmentation.

Speaking of Russia. The Russian government is raising retirement age for man from 60 to 65 and for woman from 55 to 63. HOWEVER - remember that the average lifespan for a male is 67 and for woman 77. In America I'm assuming the retirement age is 67 for both sexes (unless woman are keeping a secret) while the lifespan is is 76 for men and 81 for woman.

Something I keep forgetting about the Cubs and Brewers. Both teams have built their rosters to be the BEST when playing at home. The problem is both teams ball parks are opposite for the OTHER team.
Milwaukee has the best ballpark in the majors for left handed home run hitters while Wrigley Field is the WORST ballpark for left handed power hitters (on anything but the very very best beautiful days) OK OK San Francisco is worst on ALL days for ALL ballplayers.
Chicago is better for right handed power hitters then Milwaukee. So when the Brewers go to Wrigley Field they have a distinct disadvantage.

Today The Golf Club 2019 comes out with even BETTER ball dynamics. Now play out of the rough will be more realistic. In TGC and TGC2 when hitting out of the rough you could still put spin on the ball to stick the green. I guess that is not the case anymore and it depends if you have a good lie or bad.
So many improvements to a game that was already fantastic. I swear (and others have said this on forums) that TGC2 has helped my putting with visualizing breaks and what the ball will do. Now I need to lern to hit the ball.
OH - with that said - I'm in the playoffs in REAL golf - who knew. We shall see if The Oaks is open tomorrow with all the rain coming.

Foxxcon gave the UW Wisconsin $100 million. I have never been against Foxxcon. I have been against our government giving charity and paying for their employee wages to get them to come to Wisconsin.
Like all industry there is collateral wealth that happens around all new industry. I just hate bribes with MY money.

remember - Gus the Weather Dog has his own facebook page and is non-political.
and seriously - why does Starbucks get free advertising in the media. PUMPKIN LATTE IS NOT NEWS!
Watched Avengers Infinity War Part 1 in ULTRA HD and Dolby Atmos and it was GREAT.
Also watching Man in the High Castle which is one of the better Sci Fi shows I have seen. It's an alternate reality series on what it America would have LOST WWII. But wait . . . . . did they? Some found films say we actually won the war. What's going on?
Check out the trailer for Season 3 - AWESOME
