I Like Being A 'Hick'

Many people consider those of us who live here in the UP of Michigan to be unsophisticated hicks. The UP is considered backwoods and not worth nearly as much as big cities are. It's really funny because the people who feel this way the most are those who lived here and have now moved away or the CHILDREN of those who have moved away. Sometimes I think they are just jealous of those of us who stayed here instead of leaving for the 'bright lights, big city' and are comfortable and happy with our laid back, more simple lifestyle. There HAS to...

Ted Kennedy

I was very hesitant to write about Ted Kennedy primarily because he is a well written about topic both in astrological circles and non astro circles.But on Friday when I watched the memorial I was struck by one thing. I just kept FEELING Jupiter.Ted's indulgences, yes, but also a largeness in general to his spirit. Many people talked about his unexpected...

A-Rod has mad stick-ball skillz

When I was younger, one of my favorite pastimes was playing stickball. Nothing better than going out into the street and swinging at a rubber ball with a beat-up stick pretending that you were Rod Carew.In the above clip, current New York Yankees Jerry Hairston Jr. and Alex Rodriquez are shown playing stick-ball with some local kids in the Bronx. All I have to say is the New York Yankees have probably already signed that eight-year old to a contract.(Courtesy of Pinstripe All...

end of the rainbow

Well it's a cliche, but it isn't called the Rainbow Coast for nothing. It may be obvious but it finally hit me recently that the Rainbow Serpent is actually present in the rainbows we see. Even more interesting, is that here on the south coast is the only place I have seen the end of a rainbow, not once, but many times - on the sea, painting a tree...

Fantasy Drafthelp: Matt Berry's latest advice

FDH has been fairly critical of Matt Berry over time (if you listen hard enough, you can hear a solitary, frustrated voice from the Bristol campus yelling out, "More than a little critical, fellas!"). And true, some of it has been in over-the-top ways, which we have admitted in retrospect in ways that lesser men would not. We're stand-up guys like that.Having said that, our animus has stemmed from the ways that the man with the biggest megaphone in our industry has represented all of us -- a responsibility which, like it or not, he has. Our recent...

Senator Inhofe: "We're almost reaching a revolution in this country." The Left has attempted to portray the Town Hall protestors as "astro-turf." No doubt the insurance companies and Fox News have played their part ,but these are real people with real (if misguided) concerns. But they represent some 20-25% of the country. From the polls the percentage of Americans who support a "public option" may actually have risen from some 66 to 77% of the country. We won and they lost. Obama ran on universal health care. The 25% have every right to express...

Hopeajämien dyykkausta jälleen

Mike Vick Preseason Debut...Meh

Michael Vick's debut with the Philadelphia Eagles was on a scale of 1-10, a meh. He had a solid game going 4/4 passing for 14 yards and a 1 yard rush. However for most people it was a rather dull appearance; since there was no Sportscenter highlight play, near-riot outside the Linc, or Michael Vick "sacrificing" a dog to the NFL Gods. It was pedestrian to say the least. The one thing that we did learn from this is that Michael Vick can still play the game of football and looks to be a force on some level during the Eagles run to the Super Bowl...

The Pittsburgh Pirates continue to build a “Brick House”

Let’s be honest, there is not a lot of reasons to watch Pittsburgh Pirates baseball games in August. Outside the chance to visit PNC Park and the possibility to watch Albert Pujols hit a moon-shot, not a lot of upside about going to a Pirates game.However, I did come across this clip of a Pirates fan named “Big Yellow” getting down to the docile tune “Brick House.” Fans love to get onto the big screen and shake their money-maker. I guess they now know how strippers feel.(Courtesy of Rum Bunt...

I have no simpathy for this scum bag.I did a little soft-shoe dance, and offered the grandkids an extra helping of chocolate cake.

The Saga Continues

All summer long I have been reporting on the work that has been done on the street in front of our house. It isn't done, yet. And we really have no idea WHEN it will be--could be this week, could be November. I thought I would take one post and write down all of the work that has been done up to now.The first thing that happened was that the road was dug up so that water and sewage lines could be replaced. Of course, after this was done, we had areas of the street that were 1-3 inches lower (or more) than the rest of the road--it made for an...
