I'm pretty sure all Americans can do this! But in case you are a little rusty maybe you need to practice up a little. ---------------DJ had a procedure yesterday - a VIRTUAL colonoscopy and I believe a normal one is better. At least you are put to "sleep" (3 words dogs and cats don't really appreciate). OH - there are still things that go on back there in "virtual" ones. There is no free lunch. Of course you are never really "asleep". In reality you are wide awake, you just don't remember any of it, which...

We had our house checked to see what it would take to have a solar water heater installed. Pretty cool stuff and with so many tax credits (about 40%) it would be only about a $5K investment. Payoff time would be about 9 years and then basically free hot water for life (we could water our lawn with boiling water if we wanted too and it would cost us almost nothing . . . except for grass seed for the next year). We would...

WELL NOW - we seem to be pulling away in the rain race. 1.34 inches yesterday.Of note is that last year has finally taken last place. The interesting thing about last year was not the lack of rain during the summer but the drought was caused by the lack of snow melt that replenishes the earth in spring. --------------------------------------------Heard something in HOT Brewer broadcast last night that was disconcerting in a funny...

North Korea “The stream of stagey propaganda stills depicting Kim in an overcoat, staring grimly into the distance like a dinner-theatre performer in the role of MacArthur, leave unclear whether he is part of a performance he does not fully control.” From “The Korean Crisis: Kim’s Dangerous Game,” by Evan Osnos.The rest of todays blog is at NEWS from Columbus...

This is for sale at a Costco in the UK. I will ask for one for Christmas.A life size race simulator. -------------------------------------I'm planning on a new beer to brew in the near future which will be my first attempt to do a process called First Wort Hopping. It's an old process that was actually forgotten until the middle 90s and I believe Ale Asylum uses the process to make their hoppy beer smoother. Not that they would...

I decided to take a chance and sit Braun down thinking...

For Columbus happenings check out MelotteforCityCouncil.org ***********************************Forty years ago today Southern Wisconsin received 15-20 inches of snow with 50 mph winds. The interstate was closed for two days.Sadly(1) this did not happen this year so the Brewers were able to lost five straight games. On March 26th I predicted the Brewers would not win 80 games this year. I did not know that after six games...

What doesn't break you only makes you try harder . . . .or something like that.A watched pot never rings!----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Someone took our snowman. We had a plastic snowman on our front porch this winter. A few weeks ago during that last big blast of winter, DJ and I got home and looked outside at the weather and there was our snowman rolling across the...

Anybody that knows me knows that I wear my emotions on my sleeve and yea - I was pissed. More at myself actually for felling . . . pissed.I don't believe you can fault me for feeling angry though. If you lose an election OF COURSE you are angry, if you are not, perhaps you should not have run. I felt I was a better choice - obviously. I believe the voters made a mistake. Does this sound arrogant? Probably but if I thought I was NOT the better choice . . . . why run. LOL Seems logical. Dave Bomcamp is a...
