Couple of Things On My Mind

Just got back from spring break and had a great time.  I said it before and I'll say it again.  Thank you DD Eisenhower for the interstate system.  It sure is easy to get around.  But there are areas where things are in disrepair.  Need to take care of the bridges and tunnels or they'll be shot.  I also got to thinking about when I was a kid and traveled with my family.  We used to eat at places called Eat, or Mom's or Bob's.  Now it seems all you see are chains.  I understand people like to know what they are going to get, and I understand the economics of the thing.  But I still like they local restaurants.  Ate at a couple in Florida, and Stew took us to a place called Uncle Bills in St. Louis.  Food was real good, atmosphere was interesting.  What I'm getting at is if you get the chance, don't be afraid to support the little guy, while you still can.

What is the deal with North Korea?  Just exactly what is it that they want?   This guy is turning out to be worse than his old man.  And he is starting to seem crazy enough to do something that we are all going to end up paying for, one way or another.

Coach Rice of Rutgers seems to be quite the guy.  Pushing the players, throwing balls at them, he is probable lucky one of them didn't go off on him.  The thing is the AD and president of the university have known about these incidents since at least last November.  See ya boys, they'll be gone.

I think all the people trying to get the Supreme Court to rule on gay marriage are wasting their time and energy.  They should be going after members of Congress!!  One senator's son comes out as gay, boom--he changes his stance on the subject.  I think it's up to seven or eight who have changed their position lately.  They are tripping over themselves to get on board.  I just hope they don't have to lose a child to gun violence to address the gun issues...


So spring is here (allegedly), and that means the baseball season has arrived!  And with it we have astronomical salaries, PED investigations and rising ticket and concession prices!  And you know what?  People don't care!  Television ratings are up.  Attendance is around 75 million or so a year.  We don't care what they make or what they take, we just like to watch them play.  Unless it's the Marlins......

Well that's gonna do it for now.  Hang in there, things have a way of working out.....
