It was a pretty great
Olympics with a magnificent finale. About the only thing that wasn't
professional was some of the reporting. By the media. The Final Tids
POINTS SCORE WAS Russia,107, Canada 85, Norway 80, the USA 78,Germany 70
and Switzerland 68.
Do restaurants have"House Specials" to make me feel guilty if I don't order it?
I see where our Gov
Chafee-Lite has just signed an executive order which would establish a
Climate Change Task Force. Climate Change Task Force! I have this vision
of at the sound of a storm warning, thousands of RI'ers to the western and southern boards, standing cheek
to cheek, left leg back, right knee slighhtly bent, hands up, palms out,
trying to push away winds and rain.
As one reader reported
after yesterday's scintillating World Golf Championship Match Play where
Jason Day Beat Victor D in a 23 hole final, "That got my juices
flowing!" Wow!

A lot of
people muse about all of the good work that can be done for society with
the millions earned by Celebs and athletes. I mean more than keeping
the high priced auto industry and diamond mine workers in employed.
There is probably a little more good going on than what we hear. But
super novelist JAMES Peterson is doing something for his money for some
of the people who helped him get it -- book stores. JP his taking a part
of his fortune and helping the little book stores around the country

I Like This Kid, Department:
I seven year old boy I know pretty well used a little logic on his dad .the other day. The father who repeatedly was trying to get the boy to slowdown on eating snacks and sweets and drinking soda, would often say, "Don't eat that crap",. Don't drink that crap". One day the boy woke up after a night of thinking and went to his dad. "Dad," He began, "If I got up one morning and went to the bathroom and pooped on the. Floor, That Dad, would be crap!" So, Dad,, Don't call my desserts crap".

Mikaela Schiffrin will the new USA sports darling until; she marries Tiger Woods.
While the NFL gets nuttier,
the NBA may be making some sense. New commish, Adam Silver is
seriously considering getting rid of the One and Done rule in College
B-Ball, which is diluting the NBA, and NCAA. Of course, two years of
studying may produce two results: One, the players may find they like
college and stay longer; 2. They may need psychiatric treatment after all
of that brain drain and be useless in the NBA. All in all, I hail Silver
for the thought. It's one step to getting real again, something sorely
needed in the country. Also, only a handful of the kids who jump to the
NBA ever make it. Maybe, just maybe, the extra year will start kids on a
path towards learning for a future other than basketball.
I'm sure that sliced bread
was a pretty sensational invention years ago. But may be it's time for
an new standard going forward upon which to measure greatness. Better
than the Smart Phone. Nah. Better than solar heat? Nah. Better than Victoria Secret. I've got it --
Better than Velcro. That should stick.
