Queens Gambit and facemask one day sale

The first bit of news nobody cares about is my SOM team won the NL Championship and it's on to the World Series. Yelich has been the star in the 10 games played (4-0 sweep vs. Richmond and 4-2 series over Middlesex ).  Yelich as 3 doubles and 4 HRs, and 12 RBIs and put the dagger in in game 6 with a 3 run HR.  

We now play Lawrence in a strange World series as MY ballpark - Cincinnati is the "pitchers" park as the other team has Washington.  It's going to be a very high scoring Series.

 Lets see - what else. Having a bird feeder attracts a lot of pigeons and I think one is really fast.  A Belgian racing pigeon was just sold for $1.9 million as racing pigeons have become a large niche hobby it seems.  I believe the pigeon is half his speed (maybe a quarter) and I'm willing to part with him for only $250,000.  

anyone anyone?

Quebec, just like California has passed a "law"?  saying no gas powered vehicles can be sold after 2035 in the provence.  Only electric. They are investing $6.7 Billion in the next 5 years into electric cars and combating climate change. 

MEANWHILE the acting President in hiding has opened up pristine alaskan territory to gas and mining companies to the highest bidders just to give the finger to President elect Biden who will not be able to rescind the bids.  

As Howard Stern a former friend to the Acting President in hiding says  “For once do something good for the country, calm down your fucking loony hillbilly friends, and tell them you lost the election and you’re going to help the transition,”   

There is new bubble technology for oil tankers that shaves off 10% of the fuel used. The device, which is near the bow, generates a carpet of millimeter-sized air bubbles that lubricate the ship on it's outside.

Sounds good . . . we shall see the unintended coincidence in 10 years. 

OH - if you have not seen The Queens Gambit iob NETFLIX - WATCH IT!   It ts GREAT  Seriously!! 

Amazing acting - characters so real and every chess game is real.  The chess community LOVES it and you do not need to know chess.

Illinois has canceled laying off 350 State employees as they are reaping the rewards of a boat load of money from legal cannabis.  

We visited (but did not inhale) the dispensary in Beloit.  Of the 30 cars in the parking lot I bet 25 were from Wisconsin. 

New Jersey legalized cannabis and White Castle Tweeted a congrats and reminded people they have 29 locations in NJ. 

Wisconsin is one of only 7 States now that have cannabis as totally illegal.  We are the backward state. 

A study found that sativa seed flour is a natural anti-obesity agent . . . at least in mice. So if you have a fat mouse make them some brownies out of sativa seed flour. 

BTW - there are two main families in cannabis.  Indica (In Da Couch) which makes you relaxed and Sativa which is called a "day time" weed as it sparks creativity and is more of a uplifter.
