Way too much coffee this morning

Watching the Super Bowl last night was like watching a Packer game in November when it's 70 degrees and sunny but you HAVE to watch the game . . . and the Packers lose.

The only good thing about the game was I won $10 by betting the Pats even up.  Seems like a no brainer/easy money.  Since Tom Brady has been QB the Pats have covered the spread 59.8% of the time in over 300 games.

The Rams offense SUCKED.  Only the 2nd time in SB history that a team has not scores a TD.   In fact if you are looking at analytics, the two biggest plays in the first half, as measured by "win probability",  the two biggest plays that helped your team win  . . . were both punts.

THAT, my friend is excitement. 

What the NFL has to do is get more offense into the games by not allowing the wide receivers to be covered and disallow the QB from being rushed OR tackled.

SO! the NFL has two of the greatest Playoff games ever in which nobody talked about the games and only about The Play.  THEN they have the worst Superbowl and nobody wants to talk about that! LOL

Watching the game last night was my one chance to see DJ in the last 4 days.  She had baby sit all day and all night Saturday into Sunday afternoon and is now baby sitting AGAIN today.  It's like work!  She is totally missing ALL the fine weather we had this weekend.



MEANWHILE - we have been making decisions about our new deck.  The plan 3 weeks ago was for them to start the construction last week.  WELL, it SEEMS they did not want to work outside at -20  and in 2 feet of snow.  Michael F. Simon Builders - WIMPS -  So the project was put on hold for a tad.

BUT WAIT - all that snow is gone now and the weather is going back to regular winter.  Maybe we can get that deck built before spring after all.

In Politics - Of course we all have seen that Trump has spent 60% of his working hours watching TV in the White House according to official documents.  But the people who voted for him believe this is OK, it's what they do also so . . . . .  They wanted a President that talks like them and is a businessman . . .  JUST like them. 

You know - when I vote for a President I want somebody MUCH MUCH smarter them I.  I don't WANT somebody like ME!  That would be a disaster.

I see Trumps Scotland golf courses (built  with Russian borrowed money) is having their financial documents subpoenaed as he is making a profit which is illegal while he is President.

Movies took a hit this weekend with the worst box office in 19 years FOLLOWED by the worst Super Bowl . . . .in 19 years?

Seems if you eat breakfast you eat on average 260 more calories in a day then people that do not eat breakfast . . . Well  I could have told you that!!    If you take 13 different controlled trials, eating a breakfast does nothing to you health except adding more calories.  Seems it does not matter WHEN you eat.  Even the "never eat before bedtime" is false.  Of course a triple scoop of ice cream before bed is probably not the BEST thing but fruits and nuts an berries right before bed is actually a GOOD thing.

Got blood?  Want to sell it? (not to me)  1.9% of all exports that the US has is blood. Most developed countries in the world do not allow you to sell your blood.  THUS, they buy it from Americans.  It is how we are secretly invading other countries.

My blood as too much coffee in it.

Looks like Columbus lost it's Water and Light Czar to another company.  To bad.  A real loss I feel.

Of course who would want to have that job when all you get are stupid complaints.  There was a woman saying she moved away from Columbus because water was too expensive?   Really? That was the reason?

She said with her, her husband and child they were being charged $95 a month for water.  REALLY?  If you take away the fixed charges DJ and I have $15 a month in water bill with two people.  She was $75 with one extra child?

I looked at our bill  A pretty steady $39 a month in water bills WITH the fixed charges.  But she says she pays $23 month in Beaver Dam including fixed charges.  Thus she moved away.

 I think not!

NOW it seems all the "science" behind Gatorade is a bunch bunk and GREAT marketing. There has never been any actual tests on whether the so called "electrolytes" actually WORK as advertised.

The one study had people fasting overnight and half the people were giving water and the other half Gatorade.  The  Gatorade group did much better.  WELL YEA - put sugar into an empty stomach and of course you will have more energy.

In fact they are finding people are drinking too MUCH water which is lowing the sodium in their blood to dangerous level.

NOW - it is found that - wait for it . . . .you should drink when you are thirsty.  Don't drink a ton of water thinking you need MORE then normal. You don't.  Sports drinks are 100% marketing with no real science behind their claims.  An illusion of causality.  Drink when thirsty.

Gatorade added sodium, phosphorus and potassium and called it electrolytes which only means molecules that produce ions when dissolved in water.  Not a big deal. But a GREAT selling point.

Cannabis - my Canopy Growth stock has been zooming lately . . . along with all the stock market.  Obviously everybody is rolling in the money as it's been a year?? since the huge tax break.

I read an article with a headline "Will investing in Canopy Growth Make you a Millionaire".  The answer is . . .maybe if you invest $200,000 right now.     

DAMN IT!

I got in at $24 and it's $49 at the moment.

I gotta stop typing.
