Potentially Historic Storm heading our way!

Gotta hand it to the weather dudes. They knew there was a big one coming 10 days ago. They were not sure of the timing but I could see this gleam in their eyes that something BIG was on the horizon. So - we're getting two storms actually - the one today is a 4 to 7 inch storm an then the main event starts Tuesday afternoon. There should be a break about noon and then this large warm moist air mass tumbles north smashing into an Artic blast with...

Packers -3 - Take the Bet!

Congratulations to Andy for bowling a 300 last night! You can not finally give up bowling. I had a 299 once but it was way way long time ago before they perfected round balls and oiling patterns! ------------So everybody is planning their Super Bowl parties but I must warn you. According to the news THERE IS A LACK IF STRIPPERS!! Yea - typically strippers start flocking to the Super Bowl City but it seems Dallas is having a problems. As for myself I'm planning to bring a grill in and put it in my buddies cubicle and grill up some brats next...

SUN - I NEED SUN!

Remember Baltic? The dog that was rescued at sea on an ice flow?  Here is the rest of the story on YouTube.------------------------------------Seems the population of Columbus is continuing to climb. According to City-Data dot Com the population of Columbus in 2009 was 5,055, up 12% from 2000. This is an increased rate of growth from previous decades as in the 90's the growth was 10% and in the 80's a mare 1.2%.This is probably due to people...

Cheers

I'm sort of surprised that Green Bay is a 3 point favorite. I don't believe they deserve that much . . .favoritism. I have to think that since they seem to be the hot team everyone is talking about more "square" money is going on the Packers so the linesmakers have to adjust the actual line.If the Packers were not "my" team I would be putting money down on the Steelers to cover that 3 points! I just feel that the one dimensional game of Green Bay is in for a long long day. Yea - they can win but their offense will have to NOT play as poorly...

Peanut . . . .Peanut butter AND JELLY!!

WOW - what a game. The Badger played a near perfect game yesterday and for the very first time in Wisconsin history a guy scores a triple double (double digits scoring, rebounding and assists). But forget that - I can not WAIT for the football game tonight - GO PACKERS - I HOPE THEY WIN! WHAT?  it was yesterday? Are you kidding me?   MAN - why did I not turn the TV on at the liqueur store! STUPID STUPID STUPID! ---------------------------------OK - seriously sweet game! However - I can almost guarantee our house had the weirdest...

CBS News coming to Columbus . . .sort of

My plans never seen to work out.Wednesday I felt weird all day - like I never really woke up. Then BAM Wednesday night the COLD hit me and I was down for the count. Still at home today and on a scale of 1 to 11 where 9 is my typical health day I'm at about a 5, 1.5 better then yesterday.So my buddy in Barbados will have to wait for THE REST OF THE STORY.The big story is that I was contacted by the producers of CBS News/48 Hours (they found the blog) and they are asking if I have access to any 8mm films or home movies of Columbus around the 1980's.I...

Police Department - please leave a message at the tone.

I'm probably the only guy that will get this but one comment I read about the Packer game was: "Aaron Rodgers needs to bump up the difficulty to All-Madden" THAT is funny! There have been many many playoff games for Green Bay in the lasy 90 years and the Packers have had many really really good Quarterbacks - but NO ONE has ever had a better game then Aaron Rogers and I will say this right now . . . Ted Thompson! you are a genius! I was never a BIG doubter but I have questioned you on several occasions and . . . I WAS WRONG!! For a team to...

Rants

I would not get TOO excited over James Starks running last week. I feel all it does is make the Falcons more aware of the running game. I doubt Starks will be that much of a factor this Saturday night! For one thing last week he was going against a team that was intent on stopping the pass - they had no idea the Packers actually had a running back on the team.and when you look at Starks numbers - he really was not all THAT good! He had 57 yards on three runs and the other 19 runs he averaged less then Jackson. But - it does give the Dirty Birds...

RIP Dick Winters

Hero: a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. I don't want to sound callus but a lot of times when I hear of a famous person passing away I say "oh ,that's too bad" and sort of move on.  But every so often I hear of a passing and I'm actually moved!  Hearing that Dick Winters passed made me very sad.   Major Richard "Dick" D. Winters was a United States Army officer and a highly...

I've been a little distracted by work lately and once I get into programming mode it's tough to get into random drivel mode again. -----------------------HOW 'bout dem Packers!!OK - on that last pass of the game who had visions of a NIGHTMARE happening! I think it's funny how all of a sudden the talking heads are talking about "the balanced offense" the Packers have! Yea - we knew that all along - who cares about that Lynch guy that the Packers...

WOW - I thought I published this!!

I have to laugh at the Democrats at times. Walker came out which his mighty plans to save Wisconsin (one of his plans I thought of a year ago and brought it up to the Columbus CDA and was told it was illegal).Then I year Niel Hyman from CH 3 in Madison give an editorial comment (I really like Niel actually) and I hear Democratic pundits say the same thing."Mr. Walker, we have had many many smart people working on this problem for years with little progress, don't expect to come in and make it happen with the snap of you fingers". Well . . . ....

It is a Great Day for Castration

I can't believe that I woke up this morning - looked at my cell phone and I had a text message from Brett Favre!! I'm afraid to open it. -----------------------------------------14 years ago today a little puppy was born with a litter of all other puppy's who became  big time champion show dogs.  But one little puppy was left behind as he was a shy little runt that when he ran his right front paw would flail out to the right which was...

The Genius of Scott Walker

This Red Wing Black Bird thing really has me interested. They are estimating about 3000 bird were found dead. Lots of theories but all have huge holes. First of all there were 5+ loud BOOMS but no one knows where they came from. Nobody has come forward saying they had firework and to me it sounds like what they are describing are sonic booms (which are way way cool).Then they say they were scared and ran into a hail storm or lightning but - no...

The day the Black birds dropped from the sky!

The big non-news item is that this week the new Grocery Store for Columbus will be announced! I don't know WHY it's such a secret. It will be located out towards Fall River I believe in what used to be called The Industrial Park area. If I had to make a guess I would go with a Piggely Wiggely because I like that name. I can't see it being a Roundys store . . .just thinking out loud. -----------------------------------------Why does Down Syndrome get the shaft! We are on the verge of revolutionary human clinical FDA trials for medication to...
