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 raise learning, memory and communication in Down Syndrome. Yet our government funding is lacking. There are 400,000 Americans with Down Syndrome yet only $18 million are funded for DS research. 500,000 people have autism and it gets $132 million and MS has 400,000 and gets $132 million!
Why does Down Syndrome only get $18 million!!
How can you help?

Of course the REAL thing you are wonder is . . .why does your toilet water bounce up and down on windy day!!
The answer? It's your vent stack.
A vent stack allows sewage gases to vent to the air outside your house rather than bubbling up through your sink and toilet, and allows air to pass through the pipes, which ensures that waste water drains smoothly.
When the wind blows over a house, the air pressure changes because of the "Bernoulli effect". The Bernoulli effect says that pressure becomes lower when flow is faster. It's this effect that sucks loose objects out the car window when you open it while driving (when DJ was a kid she always thought SHE would be sucked out of a car if she opened the door going fast); it also creates the lift that allows an airplane to fly. As the wind blows over your house, the Bernoulli effect lowers the pressure at the top of the vent stack. This creates a slight suction throughout the plumbing system, which pulls against the water sitting in the trap in the toilet bowl. As the wind strengthens and weakens, it produces more or less suction, which causes the water in the bowl to slosh.
There ya go!!

And as for the Tea Party - seems they are all pissed off at the Republicans (you just can't make those guys happy can you - it's almost like they are just a bunch of angry people)!
All the representatives they backed were passed over for leadership positions in the 112th Congress.
The Bush tax-cut deal went through which pissed them off!
Republicans who supported President Obama's nuclear weapons deal with Russia aren't to popular and Don't ask, don't tell.
Nothing is going right for this small band of merry band of angry rebels!

And you have all hear of that Red Wing Blackbird kill off haven't you? Over 1000 dropped from the sky dead all at once. Anybody watch Flashback on TV? Yea - it's happening.
But seriously - no other birds? And all had some sort of physical trauma? Have you ever seen these odd little stories that seem sort of harmless but you think this COULD be the start of something? Remember this date a year from now! The day the Black birds dropped from the sky!
Cheer Up - It's Monday!
