RAIN - MOST EVER!!!

Posted on 8:21 AM by Unknown
According to the Wisconsin State Climatology Office "Wisconsin has established a new record in 2010 for the average statewide summer rainfall:18.65 inches. This top rank is based upon summer (June-August) data for the past 116 years.  The old average statewide summer rainfall amount was 16.24 inches set back in 1980."

Here in Columbus we accumulated 22.74 inches of rain in those months with 29 dates of measurable rain.  

"Summer temperatures averaged a bit above normal, particularly at night, due to abnormally high humidity levels.  The combination of these conditions produced energy for frequent heavy rains, strong storms, and an unusually large count of 40 tornadoes, with only four of them reaching the damaging EF2 level. This large number is nearly twice the modern normal number, and ranks 2010 as the third most active summer in recent decades."

Hmmmmmm - there it is again - tendon pain.  I think I know what the problem is.  I'm not playing poker THAT much - seriously - maybe an hour a night.  But last night I noticed that my index finger on my left hand is placed on the 1 for a raise and my left two fingers are "comfortably" stretched at an odd angle . . . .like a Vulcan.  I think I must be stressing my hand - I'll have to watch that.

BTW - played like a dumb ass - NEVER lose your stack with top pair!  DAAAA!   I'm down to winning 94 big blinds per hour.  I also lost a HUGE HUGE HUGE hand when a guy hit his miracle 10 on the river for a set.

ANYWAY - Ironman is setting up next to my work and I have to decide if I'll do it this year.  2.6 mile swim followed with a 112 mile bike race and finishing with a 26.2 mile run.  I have not actually worked out or anything but I have a few days yet.  The event is Sunday, I wonder if I could golf after I got done with the race.  hmmmm     No - no I don't think I could - I better not do Ironman as I have a golf outing Sunday.

I see the course record is from some guy from Australia - NOT EVEN AN AMERICAN - that makes my blood boil - I'm shaving my legs at break - maybe I WILL do it.!
 ---------------------------

FOOTBALL!!!!  Football Outsiders - the Bill James of Football prognosticators have come out with their projections.

They say Chicago will actually win more games the Minnesota. Packers 6th best in the NFL and 2nd best in the NFC behind Atlanta.  Packers have the 6th best offense, 14th best defense and 28th best Special Teams.
---------------------------------------

Just curious what you guys think of this.  It's a rescue photo from a 1 mega pix camera.  I can't blow it up any larger then 8x10 so I thought I would matte it and frame it.  Just curious on thoughts!



And this morning I was drawn to a scene on the square - I just liked the lighting . . but then I took out the color!   hmmmmm  maybe I like it better colorized.


Looks like an old postcard - I wish a 1940 car would have driven buy at that moment - NO LUCK!

Actually I have this as my background now and like it larger. The more I look at it . . . . . 



------------------------
That's it - I actually have work to do!

Have a great game tonight - GO SAINTS!
