Still limited

No posting today.

Like I said, limited posting

'tis the season for, "Man, I got a lot of shit to do!"

Here are a couple of links:

• Some people not only idiots, they are also assholes.



• Great googly moogly.



• Key line in this story: "The rat was discovered over the ocean."

The Bruins blew it.

The Bruins were up 3-1 over the Canucks last night and they couldn't hold them off. Swayman did his best but the Bruins defense was a seive, letting the Canucks take 22 shots at the net. Offense wasn't much better, taking 42 shots at the Canucks net and only scoring 4 times.

Regulation ended in a 4-4 tie. The 3-on-3 sudden-death overtime period also ended in a 4-4 tie. It was the shootout that the Canucks won and the game ended with the Bruins losing 5-4

They picked up the one point for the regulation tie but that didn't get them back into a playoff spot.

They are back at it again tonight, facing off against the Senators. Puck drops at 7:00pm and a win would be a good thing.

The Patriots are in Baltimore to play the Ravens tonight and a win will secure a playoff spot for them.

Their injury report for tonight has six players on it with only one listed as out. The other five are either questionable or unknown. Hopefully that means they will field both a strong defensive line and a strong offensive line.

The Ravens are a .500 team so they have their weaknesses but they are no slouch. Tonights game is not a guarantee for the Patriots but it's nice to see that almost every so-called "expert" is predicting a Patriots win.

I italisized the word almost in the previous sentence because some of the so-called "experts" are saying the Ravens will win simply because if they don't win, they'll drop below .500

Kickoff is at 8:20 so my watching time will be pretty limited.

Wasn't "Zohar" the name of that creepy fortune telling machine that was at every tourist trap in the world?

I'm pretty sure this article is saying gun control doesn't work and in my opinion, it isn't wrong.

Controlling guns does nothing if you are not controlling the nutcases that use guns to kill people. Nutcases don't care what weapon they use.

We need to stop looking at people with mental health issues as people with a cureable disease and start looking at people with mental issues as people with mental issues. If it is determined that those mental issues involve an inability to recognize the difference between right and wrong, we need to control those people.

In my humble opinion, we need to categorize those people as criminally insane, like we did prior to the 80s. Not knowing the difference between right and wrong is why we have these mass murders, not because of guns.

Here are some links:

Sometimes you get lucky

I am not a stock broker. Hell, I'm not very good at doing anything with stocks. My investments are run by someone who pays attention to things and makes sure I don't go broke.

Having said that, I'm kinda proud of myself...

Back in June, I noticed a small trend in the market and thought it might be a good idea to buy some particular stocks. The stocks I was thinking about buying were Bank of America, Western New England Bancorp and Ford Motor Co.

Since I suck at investing, I decided to not buy the stocks but I really wanted to see if the trend I saw was real so I created a fake portfolio on google finance.

Turns out I probably should have bought the stocks. Twenty six percent is a pretty damned good return.

The Epstein files have been "released" by the DoJ:

That is a screen print of the first page of a 119 page document that is completely blacked out.

Why would they release 119 back rectangles and claim they are part of the Epstein files?

The Bruins are playing the Canucks this evening and they really need to win.

Puck dropped at 7:00 and right now it is 1-1 after the first period.

Here are some links:

• Does anyone else find it a bit odd that Epstein files are disappearing?



• I guess we're stealing oil now.



• Bezo's gave a girl in a wheelchair a ride on his penis rocket.

A loss

The Oilers beat the Bruins last, pushing the Bruins back down to third place in the Atlantic.

Their next game is tomorrow against the Canucks. Puck drops at 7:00

We are 56 days from pitchers & catchers reporting to spring training and so far, the Red Sox haven't really done anything to improve either their lineup or their infield.

I really hope Breslow isn't sitting around thinking that maybe they have everything they need for a successful 2026. I'm hoping he's sitting around thinking they need to fill the gaps in their lineup with hitters who don't just hit home runs but also move the runners along with doubles or triples. I'm hoping he is also looking for an infielder who can not only make an accurate throw but also makes quick decisions about what to do.

They need help and they only have 56 days to get that help.

We only lost power for about one hour this morning. It went out around 9:30 and came back around 10:30.

Seems a tree came down on some power lines and took out our entire neighborhood.

With the wind blowing between 30 and 50 mph, I'm thinking that one hour outage wasn't terrible.

• In my opinion, UpChuck Schumer is an arrogant prick. Having said that, I can't help but wonder if he isn't wrong.



• We're just poking everybody.
