Walker vs. Oatmeal - who will win.

So here is the thing - Last night I irritated my eye taking out my contacts. Then as you always should do, I was messing with my eyelid and noticed a tiny zit (or something). My inner Macgyver takes hold of my Crest Complete and puts a dab on it the zit (or something) - WHY? - because non-clear toothpaste is great for zits (no really it is).

HOWEVER - 10 minutes later my body temperature has melted the toothpaste into my eye with it's minty freshness.  And then my face is melts off.

Luckily all is fine this morning.

The Brewers shut out the Cubs for the 3rd straight time. The last time the Cubs scored a run against the Brewers was the 11th inning 28 innings ago (they scored 5).

************************

Tony Evers, who has the personality of a bowl of oatmeal will run against Walker.  Last time Tom Barrett which I likend to milk toast took him on. Why do Democrats always pick the most boring person available. 

The ONLY way Evers can win is if there really is The BLUE WAVE.  So far I have seen no cracks in this wave but without it. No hope.

I will back Evers 100% against the anti education good old boy Trump loving clown in office now (too far?).

MEANWHILE - Waterloo AND Fall River (the town who hates their children's teeth by banning fluoride - idiots) voted YES to a huge school referendum so all the communities around Columbus have voted YES to new schools. 

The Columbus school board, meanwhile, has more focus groups and meetings to go with the 3 years of focus group, meetings and non scientific useless surveys.  Analysts paralyses has set in. 

Three years into a new business plan and where are we?  More focus groups and hand wringing.

Seems Marine worms are eating plastic on beaches. The problem is they can EAT the plastic but not actually digest the plastic. What they are doing is making the plastic smaller and just pooping out tiny plastic.

What would Larry David do (Curb Your Enthusiasm).

We went to Dotty Dumplings and had a GREAT waiter . . except . . . everything we ordered we got a "You Got It" reply.

"What would you like for drinks"  Coke "You Got It", Tea "You Got It", just water "You Got It".

Wait We DON'T got it.  We SHOULD get it but we don't got it yet! 

I THINK it was some memory trick. He did not write anything down and I noticed at the next table a "You Got It" was after everything he would not write down.  It was like storing a file in your brain for later access.

When you leave a room to get something and totally forget what it was until you go BACK to the original room is a way that your brain is trying to work efficiently.  It closes a file in one room and opens another in a different room. That is why it happens. Go back to the original room and it opens that file again and you remember.

WELL - I pulled the plug and purchased my FIRST Harry Potter movie.  DJ and I have not seen 1 second of a Harry Potter movie and neither of us have read a page of any of the books.

We were at Play It Again and I got a Blu-Ray of the first HP movie for like $5.  I've heard it's good.   Now we will try to get Elweed to watch it with us.  He typically falls asleep after a big Saturday dinner and a movie.

NOTE - now that I am not on City Council I will change his name back to his 50 year old nick name.

TODAY - scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon starting about 4:00.

Speaking of weather - Gus the Weather Dog needs to come out of hibernation. We went to the Paoli Art Fair and literally people can up to Gus  "It's GUS THE WEATHER DOG" I kept hearing.

REALLY?  I need to figure out how to make money on this. LOL  it's what I do.

Started in kindergarten when I sold Creepy Crawlers, then in middle school I sold toothpicks with cinnamon on then (got in trouble for that one).  I'll skip high school and later online black jack when internet casinos started being a thing.  Easy $1000 a month in bonus's. One online casino would double your money each month if you played ONE hand of black jack.  It literally was free money, made $500.   Then Texas Hold'm before it got popular in America (3rd world players were really bad online)  . . . I have 40 Hold'm books if anybody wants some.     

Then photography before everybody had filters on their phones.

I have a crap load of Ken Griffey Jr rookie and minor league baseball cards.  I got a bunch when I traded my Mark McGuire rookie cards for Griffy Jr.  12 year old never saw it coming! 

I gotta find my next money maker trend.  City Council was not the financial wind fall I was hoping for.  I do make penny's on this blog - CLICK ON THOSE AD's I get 1/10 a penny every click.

I found this online but can't seem to find any link to ME.  No money in it.


And OK - while I was looking for the above image I came across this one. WHO KNEW someone would take a photo from above the complex!
 

************************

Golf is getting a Tiger Woods bump.  Every sport needs someone to get people excited to boost the sport.  When tiger came in 2nd at Valspar in March NBC had it's best golf ratings in 5 years.

Since then - Masters, up 14%, The Open Championship, up 37%,  PGA Championship, up 69%.

++++++++++++

Big Brother - don't know the ratings but this is one of the best season in a while. Real strategy from good players.  Now that the annoying people have been kicked out it's game on.  Awesome mind battles and blind sides. 

There was an article in The New Yorker a decade ago. Some guy was forced to watch Big Brother and write about it just to see the draw and he was surprised that it was fascinating and addicting. 

NOT like dating reality shows. Actual game theory and some pretty complicated game play.  Literally a thinking mans game show played my 16 characterers. 

I think that is what turns people off AND makes the game so interesting. They watch 1 show and believe these people are "fake" but no - they are real (and strange) humans with big personalities playing a game where they have to kick people out AND get their vote at the same time.

Moving on

*************

that's it.  Have a great day
