Stopping NHL concussions…

Well….after two of our stars on the Wings have been put out of commission by hits to the head this season, I think there needs to be a re-think of the penalties that are levied when these things happen…and a flash came to me this morning how to stop these dangerous hits right in their tracks…it’s pretty simple really…the person causing the injury should be suspended until the injured player comes back…in the case of Frantzen’s injury where the dirty hit to the head has put him out possibly for the rest of the season…the idiot who hit him would be suspended without pay for the rest of the season and if he can’t come back, that’s it for the guy who hit him….and the same thing would be effective for the idiot who punched Hank a few games back and put him out for two games now and possibly many more. I think people would stop these intentional dirty plays if the cost was high enough….there is no place for this kind of crap with the bigger, faster players that are in the NHL now who can end a career with just one hit….

February 24th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…I did make a little cash so I can buy groceries this week and that is cool…slept okay again last night and it almost seems that it is a good pattern that is repeatable…had dreams, too, with Kevin Spacey in them and that was really weird but that just meant I slept well enough to get into REM….I am feeling a little better every day but still have the after effects of the flu..or it’s allergies, either one has left me stuffed up but the energy levels are coming back and that feels good…and I was good last night and that has a big part to play in it so I’ll keep that up until later in the week….not much to do today…have some errands to run this morning but that is about it….the kitchen needs cleaning, too so I think I’ll make that a goal…more later….

Okay…this is a filler…

Well…it has been another day where I thought I was going to make some cash but didn’t and that was a little disappointing…and with the temp only getting to 10 today, it is another mind numbing one that I am struggling to get through…it looks like this will be the coldest Feb on record in Michigan….and, don’t tell me that climate change is a hoax since it has been cold…I just want it to be over and get to normal again…still feel a little crappy today but I know it’s the aftermath of the flu so I can live with it….I was going to watch the Wings game tonight but it doesn’t start until 10 so that won’t be happening…oh, well…I just hope the car starts in the morning…it did at 11 below this morning so 3 below should be easier….hope so anyway…

Working on some stuff…

Well…I know I haven’t been too topical lately and I am going to blame it on the flu and the fact that there is not a whole lot happening in politics right now…I think I’ve written this one before….there is one disgusting thing that happened this week in that ole Rudy Guiliani opened his mouth and exposed it for the sewer that it is…questioning if Obama loves the US or not…and the sky rained down with the dog whistles of racism that have marked the past 6 years from everyone on the right…not one of them disagreed with ole Rudy or even said anything that this kind of crap is out of bounds…going along with the blatant undermining of US foreign policy that is being done by Boehner…I would ask the question “why do the repubs hate the US so much?”…doing everything in their power to hurt the institution of the presidency across the world….and not caring about the damage they’re doing….that, to me, is not the love of country that the right is always going on an on about….and I think we on the left need to shout this every time you see one of these idiots talking about it…geez…

February 23rd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…didn’t have to but it is still a little depressing when I waste a day doing nothing….slept crappy again but who cares? It was damn cold this morning and I was happy that I did go out last night and run the car for a while so it would start this morning…it was 11 below when I went out but it started, barely, and that was a good thing….it was much colder than forecast and it looks like later in the week is going to be just as bad…at least I know I don’t have to go out at 3 am to do a start so I won’t…not much to do today…going to get a bunch of resumes out and start gathering the tax stuff so I can get them in…more later….

Some sports…

Well….as you can see, these are a little fillery but I have to do something to ensure I meet my goals for the month…I wish I was getting paid for this so I could blame it on my boss forcing me to do it but that’s just not true….I wish it was….there was a race on today that was a bore until the last 20 laps or so…and that’s out of 200 so it really did live up to my name of “Napcar” instead of Nascar and I did get a nap in even though I didn’t need it…a bad bit of news came from the weird Wings game last night where one of the Stars punched Hank in the head and now he is out for a while…I hope that idiot gets a suspension and a big fine…no place for that crap unless both guys are going in a fight….I won’t talk about Man U any more since they are losing to everyone and won’t make the Champions League again next year….not sure what their problem is but changing the coach didn’t help….anything else? Nope, not for now….

I hate the cold part two…

Well….seeing that I am 4 behind for the month and I’m running out of month, I thought I’d bitch about the cold again since it is going to be cold all week with no end in sight….so, I guess I’m back out to start the car again tonight since it is supposed to be 6 below again tonight and I do want the car to start in the morning….glad I filled it up sat morning so I can burn another half tank this week just letting it run…going to need an oil change as soon as it gets warm….I’m just glad I don’t work outside in the cold….I am in hunker down mode and I do have to stop thinking about it…it it wasn’t for the car, it would be okay…well…I’m done bitching for today but I reserve my right to do it again thurs when it hits 8 below….

Dinosaurs never existed?

Well…sometimes when I’m reading, I come across articles that makes my jaw drop at the abject stupidity of people in this modern age…and, it happened again this week when reading about a religious group whose sole purpose is to stop the teaching of anything about dinosaurs in all US schools. I am still laughing at the reason for this lunacy…that these people think dinosaurs never existed; that they were a hoax that was hatched in Victorian England and that every scientist since then has been in on the hoax. Now, who would spend a minute of their time on something as stupid as this? I guess it’s just another incidence that says the world is just going to hell…that people think scientific fact is somehow negotiable with the opinions of the ignorant masses having as much weight as well proven theories….shaking my head again….

February 22nd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done so that was good….slept okay even but still feel a little slow today but the coffee should help that….the Wings won one in OT last night by the score of 7-6…a weird game but lots of fun to watch and it looks like they will make the playoffs for the 24th year in a row which is just so cool…I do have some work to do around here again today since the paper mountain is going to topple again if I don’t pack it up and put them out so that will be a goal for the day….not much to do today…going to watch soccer and the race but that is about the extent of my plans…don’t even have to cook today since there are leftovers that need to be used….more later….

This country has gone crazy…

Well…just got the bathroom done and was reading and came across a gem that I just had to comment on…in Georgia, there is a state rep who has a list of the most important problems facing the US…guess what his top concern is? Human jellyfish hybrids…yep, this idiot, Tom Kirby thinks that the possibility of human hybrids is more important than jobs, or crumbling infrastructure, or income inequality…and he is writing a bill right now to “get out ahead” of this major threat to the US…yep, that last part is sarcasm…where the hell do they find these morons? And, who votes them into office? Man…I am shaking my head….
