Gravity Waves, Brewers & Sarah Palins Easter Celebration!

Posted on 6:11 AM by Unknown
First - a COW photo.


 -------------------------------


Seems Wisconsin experienced something that rarely takes place.  A very powerful Gravity Wave.  At least that is what they are telling us. (I'm thinking aliens).

The roof of a day care was lifted off the rest of the building and deposited  . . not on the building and it was a fair weather day for the most part.

A gravity wave is rather unique.  What happens is that air is not unlike water (although much lighter)  and when something happens to disrupt the atmosphere it acts like a big lake of water.  So somewhere an alien through a big rock into the atmosphere and it created ripples like in a lake.  The ripples zoomed across Wisconsin and was so strong it lifted the roof off a building.

Think what it could have done to  golf ball!!

Here is what a gravity wave looks like from space.


And here is an awesome time lapse of a Gravity wave

Or - it could be aliens with anti-gravity technology!   Oddly I'm reading a book called "Saucer The Conquest" by Steven Coonts which has a mad scientist on the moon that has an anti-gravity generator beam and is threatening world peace if all nations don't comply.
-----------------------------------------------

Brewers - I've had a chance to watch most of the games the Brewers have played and this is a MOST interesting and exciting team.  So interesting that other teams are watching the Brewers as they are redefining how you play the game defensively.

While most teams have defensive shifts on a few players the Brewers have MANY shifts!  Even 5 infielders and 2 outfielders, or 4 outfielders and 3 infielders at times.

Is it working?  Well, best defense in the league at this point.  The last 2 games against the Phillies they were giving a clinic in defense (not so much in Game one) !   Gomez was catching everything in CF with is blinding speed (I think he has extra speed as he is rested from because he never gets on base).

The Brewer pitching staff has been outstanding.  Once Cory Hart comes back the offense will be MUCH better. Let's just hope his fly balls keep going out of the park.  I'll have more on teh Brewers in my Brewer blog at Grinders Warehouse.

Ryan Braun has signed basically a lifetime deal with the Brewers.  This will allow us to follow a future Hall of Famer his entire career!!     But in the funny side.    The Brewers, while doing GREAT defensively and being ULTRA aggressive on the base paths had a letdown of biblical proportions.

Everything that could go wrong did and Braun was at the center of it - SO to make up for it NO ONE was going to stop Braun from scoring on this play!   watch Ed Sedar face when he puts up the STOP SIGN for Ryan on this play - TOO FUNNY!!

Rest in peace Madelyn Pugh Davis. Madelyn was one of the writers (along with Bob Carroll Jr) for I Love Lucy and passed away at the age of 90.

This happened on FOX a few days ago.

The other night on FOX, Sarah Palin said to Sean Hannity, "Happy Easter Week, Sean." He responded, "And, Happy Easter Week to you."

Here's one important thing: it's not Easter Week. Any practicing Christian knows (or should know) this is Holy Week. And, it's not a "Happy" Week -- it's the most solemn week in the liturgical calendar. This is, after all, the week Jesus died. Seriously, this is as basic as it gets in Christianity.
-----------------------------------------------

FOX estimated a raucous crowd of 50,000 was on hand when New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson announced his run for the President of the United States.

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

I'm hanging out waiting for our new washer to show up!   I got a call from Sears asking for "Mr. Melotrod"   Seems the computer did not recognize the ","  in Melotte,Rod  so I'm not Mr. Melotrod.


Have a great weekend!
Rod
