Wednesday

I got an email overnight that @isuckatgolf is now following me on Twitter.  What that means is that there is an Internet auto-bot out there scrolling for the phrase, "I suck at golf", which I included in a tweet on Sunday.  You are never below radar.  Remember that.

Speaking of trolls watching everything, some Fox and Friends hosts got in trouble with an off-hand comment casually thrown out to summarize the Ray Rice disaster.  "Take the stairs."  Neither the public, the press nor the feminist activists saw any humor in that comment.  Goes to show, there's usually no upside to any gratuitous aside on any issue of controversy.

Could Goodell lose his job over this one?

3 and 3.1 are Couple of the Day.  Here they are in a nice shot on Wally Day at South Shore in Lake Tahoe.

We've had some serious rain this week.  Probably somewhere in the area of 3-5 inches.  The storm on Monday night got so loud and close that I considered going to the basement for safety.  There were a couple of thunder caps that had to have originated on my roof.  Needless to say, my sleep pattern was totally messed-up and work yesterday was a bear.  Ya gotta get your sleep.

Speaking of rain, this wasn't the best week to be in Phoenix.  Here you have water over I-10.  They don't have the drainage for rain, so when it comes in, flooding is common when they do have a storm.  Of course, there are real brain surgeons driving those cars that think they can get through a little water over the road.

Some key questions of the day:

1. How many viewing parties are being organized for the Big O's speech tonight?
2. Why are they having a FIBA basketball tournament?
3. Why are they sending NBA players to the FIBA tournament?
4. At $350 a copy, how many Apple watches will be sold in year 1?
5. Anyone care to go to Indy to watch ND-Purdue?  Why?

This has been a big week historically for Iowa and Iowa State football.  Not sure for this year.  Iowa has struggled to two wins.  The 'Clones are 0-2.  The game is in IC, so I'm going with the home team.  The line in Vegas is the Hawks giving 10 and 1/2.  I say they win, but won't cover.

All for today.  What day is it 3?
