I am getting into BIG BIG trouble with THIS post!! RANT!!

Posted on 7:29 AM by Unknown
I'm turning into grumpy old man - HEY YOU KIDS - GET OFF MY LAWN!!

WELL YEA - DAAAA.  MOVE THE SIGN! 

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

If I could buy stock in one word - I would by stock in "occupy".  It seems to be the hot word these days and it should be cheap.   Take a look at Google Ngram which tracks how many times a word is used in books and "occupy" has been on the decline for 140 years!!!    I'm going to buy a lot.


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

I like NASCAR but I don't follow NASCAR but I hear that they are making it harder to draft in this weekends race by messing with the cooling systems.  You start to draft and your engine over heats - that is so cool how they can play with engines like that.

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

A lot of people are all worried about the Brewers and losing Fielder.  Me?  I'm actually looking forward to next year.  The Brewers will be a BETTER team I believe.  Fielder is leaving, not like Attanasio or Melvin are leaving and from what I have read Attanasio had a very very good year in business.   And in regards to Roenicke being out coached.  Let's see, how long as LaRussa been a coach?  LaRussa has WON 2,566 more games then Roeincke has actually COACHED!!
---------------------------------------------------

OH - this weeks Bridgejumper games.  2-1 last week   6-3 overall this year and 458-297 lifetime ATS.

"C" games
Take Minnesota to cover +8 over the Packers
Take Jacksonville to cover +9 over Baltimore

"B" game

 Take St. Louis +13.5 to cover whoever they are playing.

For entertainment ONLY!!!  
  ------------------------------------------------
And finally - had an disagreement with the police chief over the Cbus HUGE crime bust of a teenager with 19 grams of pot (in Fall River actually, it took two police departments to catch the guy). The dude will go to prison for drug trafficking.  Hey, as some people on facebook have been saying  19 grams of pot means you are out of pot!   19 grams is a misdemeanor and a $200 fine in Minnesota - a misdemeanor in Illinois, a misdemeanor in Michigan, a misdemeanor in Iowa,  a misdemeanor in Indiana but the Cbus police want to send a teenager to prison for 3.5 years and a $10,000 fine.  

The Columbus Police Department is doing a fine job for the most part but sometimes it's almost like they are trying to justify  their existence by being hard. 

Columbus is a wonderful community, low on crime for the most part but as the Chief said. People smoking pot become violent and developmentally disabled AND smoking marijuana leads to larger crimes.  In fact the quote was "Robberies, thefts, burglaries and violent crimes are often associated with illegal drugs."   And then he said what of someone overdoses " . . . . . . .sigh! 

Well, what about the drunks walking the streets downtown at bar time. Oh wait, binge drinking is not illegal.   I guess THEY are OK.  Whoever heard of alcohol making someone violent anyway.   And seriously, has anybody EVER seen someone that has just gotten high become violent?.   I know when I was in school (many moons ago) I was surrounded my high people and never saw one person turn violent.  EVER.

I wonder how much that big bust of 19 grams cost the tax payers of Columbus.

Now I will wait to be pulled over for having my sticker on the wrong side of my license plate  LOL   I'm done ranting.  I'm not anti-Columbus Police.  I'm anti-hard nosed police in a friendly community. Especially when they don't even LIVE in Columbus.   I've met Columbus Police, I've helped them pick up hundreds of papers they dropped on the road my accident and I'm  99% on their side on MOST things.  They are a good group for the most part but chest thumping because they took down a 19 gram teenage drug cartel and ruining a teenagers life?    . . . . . . . sigh

peace out

OH - I finished reading book 1 of The Game of Thrones - WOW - what a fantastic ending - OMG!!!  Best book EVER!!    On to book 2!
