What a weekend...

...for sport lovers in Wisconsin, that is.  Brewers have their first playoff games since 1982, Packer Sunday is always big, and the Badgers play Nebraska for the first time since 1976.  Hopefully the same winning result will be with us this time too.  Guess maybe a big pot of some kind of soup or chili would be in order for the weekend.  The Badger game is being made into quite a big deal.  Supposedly 5000 Nebraska fans will converge on Madison.  Besides safety issues there will be a bigger police presence on the lookout for scalpers.  Game ticket prices are only $49 and there's rumors of some charging hundreds.  I know this goes on everywhere but I think it still stinks.  Greed shows it's ugly face at times like these. 

The wind and rain have finally stopped but the temperature isn't anything I like.  Only 52 and I prefer 70 at least.  Oh well, it is Wisconsin.

Sad to say there was a school bus/pickup truck accident locally this morning.  The news says 10 hurt, 5 adults and 5 children.  No word on how serious so far, but they did call on ambulance from our dept. to assist.  Praying no injuries are serious.   Jack just came from the fire station and said there was also a house fire early this morning.  A total loss.  Prayers for those people too.

Have any of you seen the AT&T U-Verse commercial where the two parents are trying to decide which kid gets to pick the program.  They praise the little girl over the little boy and say "on the count of three say which child you love most" and both pick the girl.  It just makes me sick.  This is how kids lose theri self-esteem and either just give up or turn into bulles to compensate.  AT&T should be ashamed of themselves.

Well I guess that's just about enough rattling on today. 

You all have a wonderful weekend.

  2. Congratulations to the Brewers. Cardinals pulled it out of the bag to my surprise and everyone else's.

  3. It's supposed to be near ninety a time or two this week...I don't think I've ever witnessed something like that...nobody beats our cold and snow and it usually comes early...go figure. That's sad about that terrible accident. Nothing worse than children being involved with something like that. AT&T has been a source of trouble for us here on many levels too...goodness! On that happy note: have a great day!

  4. It is a big weekend. I know my husband will be glued to the TV, and I'll have it on so I can keep a handle on everything, but I can't just sit there and watch for hours on end. Let's hope we're winners all the way around.
