Random Thoughts 15: Crystal Clear 2021 Edition

2 ISR forums, that cumulatively, have 80k posts and have been going on for 4.5 and 3 years. And they contain very little actual content, just arguing and ******** back and forth.

With probably 70k of those posts being between twins and 2-3 trolls who get banned and keep retreading. I venture in for the comedy so some are mine, but I don’t know how they can argue the same things, every day from 6 am to 2 in the morning. And I mean EVERY DAY.

Most places don't acknowledge today as a day off. Only reason I am off today is it is a furlough day.

Ah. Well, it's a fed holiday, so if you're a fed, it's a day off. No mail today. And ISU has had it as a holiday for years.

It may have recently changed but when we were living in KS just a couple of years ago grocery stores were still not allowed to sell full strength beer/wine and certainly not liquor. I think there may also have been a not before noon on Sundays rule as well.

In 1980, we moved from Manhattan, Kansas with it's blue laws and state run liquor stores to San Francisco, California, where they had generic liquor in the grocery stores (I mean the "original" generic stuff...with black & white labels...might be before your time). Talk about your basic culture shock!

That generic beer kept me from drinking as a teenager for a few years. Took one of dads and couldn’t even choke half it down.

My buddy Kyle in Madison is trying to find us 2 tickets for Sunday's NFC Championship game at Lambeau. If anyone can find them, he can.

I don't get the Uber eats commercials with Patrick Stewart and Mark Hamill. I could get it if they had some sort of cinematic rivalry but I can't think of anything.

Star trek versus star wars or are you being facetious?

I didn’t know it was Mark Hamill.

I thought it might be, but I was lost.

Think they're going for Star Wars vs Star Trek. Make more sense if it was William Shatner instead of Stewart.

Found a peanut shell inside a piece of wood while splitting. It was solid on both ends but there was a cavity in the middle so a squirrel must have dropped it in a crack and the tree grew around it. Could be decades old.

I've never been but if I ever do it'll be a game early in the season when it's still warm.

Lots of people around here missed you - take the slow steady road back to health.

Maybe that's what it's supposed to be. Shatter would make more sense if that was the intention. I could even see Hamill and James Earl Jones.

I've been to 2 divisional playoff games at Lambeau - the 2014 game in which Dez didn't catch the ball, and the 2016 game where Rodgers threw the Hail Mary to Cobb right before the half. It was 3 degrees at kickoff for that game.
