Caring for Caydence

----------------------------------------------------
Not actually a video but a couple National ESPN announcers talk about their experience in Madison.



----------------------------------------------

Columbus (and Madison and ALL towns) are goign to be hit with a new expenditure.  The government has mandated that ALL street signs (like YIELD, STOP and so forth), must be changed to a new, better reflective sign AND the letters will no longer be ALL CAPS!!  They say that with America getting older and eye sight failing it is easier for reads NOT ALL CAPS!

So STOP signs will be Stop signs!   COLUMBUS will be Columbus.   We have 5 years!
------------------------------------------------

Getting far behind on TV, with Stargate Universe AND Caprica both starting their season  I'm getting a backlog on my DVR.  Plus several good new shows, Hawaii Five-O, Detroit 187, The Defenders all on at 9:00 they get recorded for earlier viewing which bumps other shows to new dates.

I'm finding it hard to find time to complete my bartenders license training. 

----------------------------------------------

How do you keep a Dallas Cowboy out of you backyard? 

Put up Goal Posts!
-----------------------------------------------

Pretty Boy Floyd was shot in a cornfield on this date in 1934 and in 1962 Americans were freaking out as it was the beginning of the Cuban Missile crisis.  Remember Fall Out Shelters?  Duck an Cover?     Actually the crisis started on October 15th but today was the day Kennedy started the blockade.  During the next six days, the crisis escalated to a breaking point as the world tottered on the brink of nuclear war between the two superpowers.

Can you imagine?  Here we are today worrying about global climate change and back then it was freaking all out nuclear war.
--------------------------------------------------

Getting excited about results from my NBA Handicapping adventure - I'm going through the 2004 season (I don't have a clue how teams did) and results are pretty nice - if anyone is going to Las Vegas late November - let me know!

It's all I got! 

Cheers
Rod
