Shoulder, Trump, poop, weather, butterflies

SO - I have moved into a new stage it seems.  My shoulder no longer hurts chronically!  YEA and I had a good nights sleep.   HOWEVER - It's still frozen.  I can move it back and forth (like walking swinging) but standing with arms at my side the total I can raise my arm up is literally about 12 inches from my leg - and THEN the pain goes from 0-8 in a second.  DON'T DO THAT.   i'm in lock down mode LOL

Easy fix I have heard - just a big ass shot into shoulder . . . I hope.  Seems certain things are swollen which makes my shoulder unmovable.   Oil can  oil can.

MEANWHILE - the temps are dropping like a rock.  If you have not been outside it was 63 at 7:30 and by 9:30 its 47 and going down.   CAPTAIN WE CAN'T TAKE IT MUCH LONGER!    The birds are freaking out with chipping.

We should be down to 32 by sun up Saturday with a wind chill of 24 degrees.   The Badger game will be VERY windy and a wind chill of about 35.

A SLOW warming trend after a high of 42 sunday way way up to  63 by next Saturday.

DJ and I are really enjoying watching our 3rd game of NHL hockey game even though we have watched the Minnesota Wild lose all 3 games.  HEY - it's the only team we can see on TV FOX-WI.

Watching players and then looking at their Hockey BLAST cards is really fascinating.  I actually have a clue what these guys can do.   Sadly we latched on to a loser team LOL

We all know about sin tax. Taxes on cigarettes, pot  alcohol and so forth.  It makes billions for states (34 billion actually).  The problem is what happens when it actually works and people smoke or drink less.  All of a sudden states get less and less money.  DAMN - It's working! 

Many States are making MUCH less money then 10 years ago even when the tax has been raised.

Maybe we need FUN tax. . . . .no no . . .shhhhhhh!

Love the new Under the Clock Tower program for Columbus.  Did you know that Columbus has a vision of a 3 acre butterfly farm and a river walk?  I know Mayor Thom has been talking about this for a few years using the land next to Columbus waste water.  This is a GREAT idea!!!

Speaking of waste water  - In Australia researchers researched 22 different waste water plants covering 21% of the nation. People in wealthier areas consumed more fiber, alcohol and caffeine, and used fewer tobacco products and illicit drugs. Richer people also used fewer antidepressants, according to a detailed analysis of their poop.   I don't want to be on that team if scientists

The type of antidepressant used varies on income. working class neighborhoods used more desvenlafaxine, while amitriptyline was linked to a higher education.

here is an oddity - according to the book Red State Blues - States that have gone from a Democratic Governor to a Republican Governor have actually INCREASED the size of their government even though they have cut funding to education. What HAS happened is States with Republican control have had huge effects on social issues, guns, abortions, gay rights, and education all while spending MORE.

And yet another book out called “All The President’s Women: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator”   43 new woman (besides the 2 dozen old ones)  have come forward saying they were groped by Donald  (you can get away with anything) Trump.

“What emerges from the authors’ reporting is a portrait of a serial predator who hides behind wealth and institutional power to frequently harass and abuse women.”

But we all knew that . . . except for a large number of Bernie supporters that thought Hillary was FAR worse then Trump.  I still blame Bernie . . . and I like the guy.

Nuff said.
