Out of nowhere, I just saw that Mr. Penske, who was suppose to buy Saturn, isn’t. No warning. No rumblings. I guess I’m a fool for sticking with them for 16 years. And of course my dealership’s site has absolutely nothing about what’s going on.
I am VERY unhappy.

Bears rack up another win

This Jay Cutler guy’s performing pretty well. I love the dramatic last minute wins (too bad we didn’t have that at Green Bay.) Hope the Bears keep it up!! Love to see ‘em win.
Tired…

I’ve been too tired to come up with something fascinating for this thing. I’ve been dealing with contracts and estimates and contractors and reluctant co-owners. I’ve been going through my pop’s books (many, many, many) and dealing with a computer that seems to be having memory problems and is overheating this past week – grr. And to [...]
A driving rant…

So many possible topics here, so little time. I’ll just focus on one that I’ve noticed a lot lately and is really getting to me. It seems that right of way on major arterial streets does not exist anymore (maybe it never did, or maybe it did for one second…) I can’t count how many [...]
Looking forward to…

Whip It, which opens October 2 (I’d add a picture, but it could vaporize tomorrow – grumble) Ever since I heard about this movie earlier this year, I was curious. I like Drew Barrymore (also directing the movie), I like Ellen Page, I like Kristin Wiig, and I love roller skating. Plus I like the [...]

I checked out the s***mydadsays Twitter feed, like everyone else. The pops really can come up with some gems. In a weird way, it’s comforting to see that other parents say some major wild stuff. My pop didn’t swear like the Twitter dude’s, unless he was really mad and damn or s*** might come out [...]
Kids think the darnedest things…

Parents are worried that their kids will be brainwashed by listening to Obama’s speech next week to the schools. Hopefully, he will not be infusing his speech with some blatant political views.
My thought – regardless if it’s a Republican or Democrat President giving the speech, parents and kids, regardless of the parents’ political leanings, can have [...]
Obsolescence…

Finishing the final cleaning of my dad’s stuff (a “few” years late) has really brought home how his life stuff doesn’t fit the 21st century (sometimes it had some trouble in the 20th!) Pop was known for being old fashioned, not enjoying the library computer that his coworkers tried to get him to learn. But stuff that 20 [...]
