So - lets get to it - RAIN
Columbus received 1.37 inches of rain and I'm waiting to see what Waste Water submits. They always seem to get a little more them me.
I've been a member of CoCoRaHS (Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network) for 12 years now. I can remember when an inch of rain in one day was rare and a big deal. NOT NO MORE! Portage had a little less then 3 inches dumped on them and are now nearing ONE FOOT of rain in 48 hours.
Waupun is literally closed do to devastating damage. No one is allowed to enter the city with trees down everywhere and no power at all through out the city. So many roads are out in Wisconsin it's tough to go anywhere. Columbus has had about 6.5 inches of rain in the last 8 days. But don't put away the sand bags just yet.
We have 3 days off of rain and then ALL NEXT WEEK starting Saturday - rain. 7 days of scattered thunderstorms and 2 to 3 more inches of rain. Temps near 80 and falling off to cooler temps.

Darvin - I have a few acquaintances that I have a love/hate relationship. With that said - I cannot think of a better person to be on the downtown beautification committee then Darvin Frye. Just sayin'. A LOUD cheerleader and someone who can push a square peg into a round hole by shear force. Bravo Darvin. I'm a fan (at the moment :-)

James Street Pizza - I'm not sure they expected to sell out 70 pizza's in 15 minutes with an advertised soft opening. Perhaps not advertise a soft opening next time. Makes it less soft (obviously). People on social media were complaining about "things are different in Columbus I guess" and they had never heard of the term "soft opening". WHAT? ONLY OPEN FOR AN HOUR? WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS!
REAL opening Friday.
HOWEVER - in a twist where we did not expect the unexpected - Amy's brother is pictured in the middle. DO YOU KNOW WHO THAT IS?
It's CHICKEN GEORGE - from Big Brother Season 1 and ALL-Stars. OMG! IT'S CHICKEN GEORGE, also know as George Boswell.
Season 1 was one of the worst because it was the only season the viewing audience voted. Back then psychologists were REALLY worried about people locked up in a house with nothing to do for 3 months and zero news of the outside world. After 3 season I stopped watching for another 3 seasons until they fixed the show. It was all social dating hook-up sexy show and very little actual strategy. Just cliques voting out other cliques. I believe "we" have watched every episode since they fixed it with actual game play strategy**.
**NOW - each week one person through a physical or mental competition wins "Head of House (HoH)" and puts 2 people on "the block" to be voted out. Then in another physical or mental competition the winner of THAT can remove one person and the HoH has to put another player up.
Voting takes place live and then a new HoH is established. During the week players scramble to get on the winning side as alliances are broken and establish. There is not much to do in the house so they just talk strategy. Cameras are on each player 24/7. They can not do ANYTHING (almost) with out the public seeing and hearing EVERYTHING (almost). When I hear people say "scripted" it is literally impossible.
Anybody that has ever played the board game Diplomacy would LOVE Big Brother. In fact there was an article in The New Yorker 5 years ago about how Big Brother is watched by more "higher IQ" TV watchers then any other non-scripted show on TV. I obviously bring down the average.
ANYWAY - Chicken George in season one took care of the chickens and got the nickname. George has been voted the most liked player in Season 1. He came in 5th but that was when the audience voted. NOW - the people who get kicked out vote an who gets the $500,000.
See - that is why this game rocks. You back stab and vote people out BUT, you still need them to vote for you to win $500,000. A very delicate dance.
