Sand bags available today

The Columbus DPW will have sand bags available from 10 to 3 today for all that need them at the Old Countryside building on James street (odd way to say the name of the old car dealership).

WHY?

Because we are expecting a LOT of rain on the coming week.  By Sunday night we should have another  2.50 inches of rain but it does not stop there. Expect another 2.50 inches during next week.  There is a front that has stalled near the WI/ILL border and it ain't moving. We will have storm squalls moving in and out of the area for the next 7-10 days.

Temps will be around 80ish during that time and today will be the last sunny day for a long long time.

A Madison sports talk show that never talks about sports were discussing favorite movies, the one where you can watch it over and over.  My fav?  Easy  Patton and Signs. I can and have watched those two movies over and over.

Just sayin'

I made a mistake in my last blog.  I called the Downtown Beautification committee a committee. it's a TASK FORCE.

Microsoft has a new rule for companies that provide hardware and so forth to them. They MUST provide 12 weeks of parental leave.

Meanwhile the President who says are economy is doing GREAT canceled all raises for Federal employees that were promised.  He also announced he will hold a campaign rally at the very say time as McCains funeral so he can also get more TV time (he did not say that last part).

I HAVE to think that a guy that LOVES being talked about is pissed off he can not be seen or heard at a National event and Obama will be all over the news.  Nothing worse then a black man stealing Trumps thunder.

Lost in golf as a wild card for teh championship.  In my life I have been in 5 playoffs for 1st place in leagues.  The first 4 times I played well and my partner has let me down.  At least this time we both played poorly.  OH - I made some of the best chip shots (bump and run) in my life but let down one to many times. I was 4 over my normal average and my partner had his worst round of the year.

The new virtual golf sim came out TGC 2019 and WOW - as one person on a from comment. it really makes you sweat.  This isn't some arcade grip it and rip it anymore. 

If you are bored and want to see the newest golf sim here is a guys first round - the main thing is the right side where you see the swing feed back which is so important.  I really does make you sweat!

and for my Big Brother fans - WOW - so you HAD two sides of the house. One side grouped together and call them selves Level 6 (there were 6 of them) and the other side clique had 5.

Here is the thing. Level 6 is very organized and the missfits are just dumb.  For 3 weeks in a row they had the power to kick out a person on the Level 6 team. Yet for 3 weeks in a row that accidentally kicked out their OWN team.  It's been hilarious.

Level 6 was like a football team. huddle up, make a decision and stick with it.  The other side was like cars after an ambulance goes by!  Chaos.

It's been a great year!
