Brewers / TKR / Porch awards and video

To reply to "M" about Chernobyl - YEA - I'm watching this like one episode a month.  When I get just TOO HAPPY I watch another episode.  And it's all about pets for me.  It seem I do not care about humans dying but cruelty to animals gets to me. 

The trans continental railroad would never have been completed if I was in charge as they just worked horses until they died and then tossed them off the cliffs. The movie "All Quiet on the Western Front" was unwatchable because of the horses.

can't wait for episode #3.   LUCKILY I we have The Crown and The Marvelous Ms Maisel this weekend.

WATCH OUT - SHE CAN MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION

Our AWARD WINNING PORCH is the featured project of the month and they put a video on You tube

Then for anybody interested a complete rundown of the entire project - check out this big article.


And let's not forget they started the demo at -10 wind chill in a snow storm.


MEANWHILE.

It seems I need to have a tooth extracted BEFORE my January Knee.   Yea - I have a cracked tooth that they have wanted to pull for a few years now but WHY - it never hurts . . .BUT - all of a sudden they found an excuse and I need to have it gone BEFORE I get a new knee.

It seems the bacteria in your mouth is the exact bacteria that can cause a new knee issues.  It can flow through the blood stream and collect in the knee.

ANYTHING ELSE I need to do BEFORE Jan 2?  sigh!

HEY - if anybody wants to see a really good animation of what a total knee replacement actually does without the gore - check this out - SADLY I cannot find it on You tube but only on facebook.  It's pretty cool!

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

Climate Change forecasting.  Of the 17 major models from 1970s to 1990s that predicted how warm the earth would get with CO2 concentrations, 14 correctly predicted how warm the earth would be at this point in time.  Only one ran hot and two ran cold.  This is amazing as 40 years ago we did not have as good as technology as we do now.

SADLY the GOP still refuses to except real science and would rather depend on the many You tube scientists that debunk Climate Change.

It seems conspiracy theories are popular and most likely embraced by those who are, shall I say, less academically inclined.  While at the same time they vote for government officials that share their misinformed views.  ODDLY those same government officials are the same ones that are anti-education.  Coincidence ? 

BTW - 16 house Republicans are retiring this year. When things look bad they jump off the ship. This does not count all the ones that are looking for new jobs.   In 2018 there were 23 Republicans that "retired".  This is twice as many as Democrats.

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

Brewers - a study found that the Brewers are the #1 team that would REALLY be helped by a high price free agent.  For instance - losing Grendal REALLY hurt.  Without Grendal the Brewers have a 14% chance of reaching the playoffs - WITH Grendal that goes up to 32%  - HOWEVER -  The White Sox getting Grendal does not help them at all on reaching the playoffs.

The take away is it seems the Brewers are  the bubble team that is one major player away from really contending.  Other teams are on the bubble but need more then one major player.

If the Brewers signed

Anthony Rendon they go from a 14.7% chance to a 39% chance
Gerrit Cole 35%
Stephen Strasburg  24%
Madison Bumgarner 21%
