This is a long one - take the weekend to read it LOL

Been working on something that will get a little more readership then this little blog - thus - the lack of blog this week. 

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

I wanted to bet $1000 that there would be a mention of a Sheboygan burger place in the comments but I could not find a bet on Five Dimes.  Where is this mythical place?  Or a name?  :-)

One year ago next week I made a wager of $10 that Joe Biden would win the Presidential Election at +315 (bet $10 to get $41.50 back or lose $10).   Pretty much wrote that one off a few weeks ago.  NOW it's once again in the realm of possibility.  A Biden bet now would be +160. A bet on Sanders is +1200.

Biden is -500 ( Bet $50 to get $60 back, or lose $50) to be the Democratic candidate,  Bernie is +450 and the last woman standing Tulsi Gabbard is +20000. ( Bet $10 on Tulsi and win $200,010 back or lose $10).   SWEET!!! 

Five months ago I made a $5 wager that Liz Warren (my fav) would win the election at +350.  I wrote that one off.

Five years ago I bet $10 Clinton would win.  Well, she did win the popular vote . . . . . .but not the election.   NOBODY can say a woman can't win - remember  - she had more votes then grifter conman President Woman Groper.

Stacey Abrams is the favorite to be Bidens running mate   Tammy Baldwin is +450.

Speaking of primaries - This whole thing will be over before Wisconsin has a chance to vote. In fact the Democratic part will be over before April.  I can't see a path for Bernie now ESPECIALLY since the youth vote did not come out as expected, but even if they did Biden carries the black vote by a HUGE margin.    Florida with be Bernies death blow - MARK MY WORDS

QUOTE OF THE DAY comes from Mike Bloomberg - "in my businesses we have a saying - In God We Trust, everybody else, show me the data".

Looking for a fantastic oil change place?  I've been to MANY over 50 years and Take 5, across from Wal Mart is FANTASTIC.  Yea, ever hear that before for an oil change place?

I have mentioned that they FEEL like they hire x-military and I see on their web site that military and veterans get 25% off.   You never get out of your car.  You drive in, they hand you water and if you have dog doggie treats.  Then with military style they check and double check everything on your car . . . no I really do mean double check. It's quit a process.

The place WAS a fly infested shit hole last year when I went but new owners have really turned the corner.  BRAVO for an oil change where I leave NOT smelling like oil.

Here is a group that was at The Majestic a few year ago that I missed because  of a vacation - they are classified as   Symphonic metal, celtic metal, gothic metal.  The LEAST scary group of this style that I love.

ANYWAY - I'm trying to get my thought juices going with the above stuff nobody cares about.

A press release from Pence and the White House JUST told me that this Coronavirus thing is a political problem and NOT a real health issue.  It's all overblown and the President has told us all the statistics from around the world are fake and misleading.

Meanwhile the stock market is on a freaking yo-yo.  We had family that was going to visit us from Texas next week that canceled and might come up over the 4th of July . . . if we are not all zombies by then. 

It's good to know that the guy that did not believe AIDS was a real thing in Indiana is in charge of the pandemic response team now.   It's also a good thing that all the people that have actual knowledge were fired and political friend and buddies were put in charge. with zero experience.

Congress passed a $8.5 billion funding to fight the fake virus. Trump wanted $2.5 Billion.  Only Rand Paul voted AGAINST the money.

WOW - anybody watching Survivor?  The latest challenge on Extinction Island left everybody crying from pain and exhaustion.  Even a cross fit trainer.   An 10 hour physical challenge left the group totally depleted.

GREAT season so far.

******************* 

I took this as we were cleaning the refrigerator and it seems people were dissecting what we had in there. . . . so were we LOL

My knee has been a little bitch today with pain spikes that last 2 seconds.  hmmmmmmm   Still taking 4mg of prednisone and taking 1mg off a month so I'm still a few months away. 

The GOAL is to make it through the summer.   I have Meloxicam that works GREAT so on my "off" days I take one and it works for a week. I've taken 3 in the last 4 months.   I golf on Wednesdays so I think I'll take one the morning.

BUT - some pinching style pain today sucks.  That whole bone on bone thing.  CT scan is in May.

Sophie is always ready to pose for a photo.

Rookie Draft starts Sunday in Strat-o-matic - I get the 12th pick and am HOPING I can land Eduardo Escobar 3B.  But if not then Hanser Alberto is VERY tempting.  He plays for Baltimore, a horrible team so he will always get playing time AND no batter in the last 100 years that had 200+ At Batsand  hit lefties better with his .398 batting average.  BUT he sucks vs. RHP  and is a horrible fielder.

BUT I digress - so many things to consider.

An average black bear, in a year, will leave 3500 pound of salmon carcass in the woods as they eat most of the fish but leave that much rotting which gives woods much needed nitrogen.  In fact 75% of the nitrogen needed in the woods come from salmon and herring.  But the woods get help from seagulls and birds that drop calcium rich shells of discarded shellfish.

Every thing works in unison . . .except for American politics

AND FINALLY - A new Tom Hanks movie that looks GREAT! (aren't that all? - no - A Hologram for the King - not that great)

WE WILL BRING HELL DOWN FROM ON HIGH!
