Quick Questions and Notes

We are officially in a drought.  Really.  Brace yourself for the price of everything to go up.  Don't know if you believe in global warming or not, but obviously weather patterns are changing.  This just may be the new normal.

Glad to see we are back to the political tv commercials and robo calls.  There has to be a heck of a lot of money in politics.  Rich people trying to get jobs that pay a pittance of their net worth?  I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but jeez.....

Just a couple of weeks until the start of the Olympics....I like winning as much as anyone, but I think I liked it better when we sent amateurs instead of the pros.  Of course it's all about the medal count, right???

Been paying attention to the Tour de France?  Yeah me either...

I have had enough of the "Penn State Scandal".  People should have done more.   If they knew they should have confronted Sandusky.  Parents need to communicate with their kids.  Be suspicious!  Sandusky is guilty, stick him in with the general prison population and be done with it.  I don't care for child abusers....

Read an interesting article in Sports Illustrated  about a football player at University of Virgina.  Went on a hunger strike trying to bring attention to people needing a living wage.  The thing I found interesting was about how colleges and universities basically "own" their athletes.  How some observers said the athletes are often smarter kids, but that they see them passing up classes that meet on Friday afternoons and missing out on other things in the college experience.  I know college athletes, from having a D1 track kid here to a D3 baseball player.  I hope they aren't missing out on things-----and hope they are able to stand up for others and issues they may believe in.

Saw a thing on the local news where they have Biking in Briefs here on a monthly basis.  Some folks need more clothes, not less.

So who's next with the "Call Me Maybe" video?  Cookie Monster good, Dolphin cheerleaders better.....

Hope you enjoy your Friday the Thirteenth--three of them this year.  Happy Bastille Day as well......
