The SAGBRAW surprise

 What the hell. Columbus is going to grow in size by 10% the next few days and the Chamber has done sort of nothing to reap the rewards.  

The Spectacular Annual Great Bike Ride Around Wisconsin
August 7th - 13th, 2021

I have ridden on SAGBRAW and GRABWAR and RAGBRAI six times, worked for the organization and started a bike club in Columbus and I find out about this by accident yesterday morning?  SIGH.  Columbus could have done so much to help out and help people make some money.

It seems some restaurants know about this (probably only the Chamber ones) and there could have been so many things that could have happened.  Think if we had the farmers market near Firemans Park or food trucks for the hungry. They would have seriously snarfed up food and beverage.  Carriage rides around town showing it's history. These riders are looking for NON-bike things to do.  When I did rides getting to a town and looking for things to investigate.  Is the Columbus History Museum open?   does the farmers market know about this? 

I contacted our Mayor . . . . first thing she said was "when are you out of Facebook jail"  LOL  

sad!

The Columbus Senior Center is hoping to change it's name to the Columbus Activity Center since the building is used for many many things in Columbus.

remember my 2 week power ratings?  Still going strong.  The Brewers were doing great until Covid took down 33% of the team and 50% of the pitching staff.  I said a week ago if the crew can just stay afloat for 10 days . . . so far  3-3 since Covid hit with two of those losses directly related for Covid.   No bullpen. 

Here is the last 3 weeks of daily power rankings

Facebook jail ends VERY soon, actually sooner than I thought . . . a few hours.   OH - I have so many things to say.

This is for all my female friends:

"Mansplaining" is really just short for "Man explaining."

You're welcome.

OK - Done with Killing The Mob - next book up is  "After Dunkirk"  Seems like a lighthearted romp through WWII France escaping the Germans.

WATCH OUT FOR BIG STORMS after 5:00 tonight.  Sadly I think our neighbor has been on vacation and all his south facing windows have been open with our 4 inches of driving rain we have received since Friday.

Cannabis Science and Health

A review concluded that "cannabinoids may be used in eczema, acne, pruritus, and systemic sclerosis treatment" and that CBD "may enhance hair growth via multiple mechanisms."

Otherwise - I have nothing.
