Who needs a coat! mmmmmmm Spirea! YUMMO!!

Posted on 7:21 AM by Unknown
A pretty picture - I tried this with a frame - I like it!

 

This is a good size for computer backgrounds
---------------------------------------------------------
At 6:45 this morning it was -18 degrees in Columbus!!

I just cannot figure out people I see when coming to work. The are standing at a corner with a little black leather coat holding there ears shivering like, OH MY GOD NOBODY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE COLD TODAY!.  Do they not understand the concept of winter? Do they not know where they are?

If you are going to be drastically under dressed for -10 degrees you can not get any sympathy from me!

Then there are the bunnies in my yard!  I guess I know WHAT THEY LIKE.  Spirea! Three days ago I saw for the first time little bunny tracks that were so cute.  I saw more yesterday and this morning I went out to put more bird food in the feeder and WHOA!!! Little poops all around my Spirea which were eaten down to the snow level.

I guess along with the Burning Bush which I was told tastes like Filet Mignon to rabbits, NEXT year I'll guard the Spirea.

Las Vegas did not love the Super Bowl. While Vegas did make money on the normal wagers (53% on the Packers and 47% on The Steelers) what totally killed them was that almost all of the Parlay bets were Packers -3 /OVER 45. There seemed to be a lot of Parlay wagering. BUT - as always they make a bundle on all the prop bets like who wins the coin toss and so forth.

Brewers are 12-1 to win the World Series!
---------------------------------------

Ready for higher food prices? Blame corn. The price of corn has almost doubled in the last year mostly do to ethanol. 24% of field corn goes to creating ethanol. Ethanol costs more per mile to run your machines and cars which is being passed on to consumers!

What I found confusing was that in Wisconsin we had the perfect corn year! Farmers said it was PERFECT!! Yet the National corn reserves are at a 15 year low!

Watched Justified on FX last night with Timothy Olyphant.  If you were a Deadwood fan the opening credits, I swear, were produced by the same guy that did the credits for Deadwood!!  Same exact style.  Plus Timothy plays ABOUT the same character as Bullock!  Very interesting show!  It's a little . . . out there with violence.  NOT a Network show!

Cheers
Rod
