We have a pump

The washing machine repair guy must have used some magic or something because a new washing machine pump showed up at our house this afternoon.

It was immediately followed by a text message from the company saying they see the pump is in and they have scheduled the repair guy come over and install it tomorrow.

To be honest with you, if tomorrow ends with us having a repaired washing machine, I'll be a happy guy.

Apparently it does not take much to make me happy...

The Bruins had me very concerned when the islanders went up 2-0 in the first period. But then they got their shit together and ended up beating the Islanders 5-2.

They are still in last place in the Atlantic division but they are no longer in last place in the Eastern conference.

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

The Ohtani's and the Blue Jays played only 9 innings last night and the Blue Jays won, beating the Ohtani's 6-2.

This ties the series up at 2 games each

Tonight is the final game in Los Angles. Tomorrow they will travel back to Toronto where they will finish the series and one of those teams will be crowned World Series Champions.

If I recall, the good people of Toronto have a tendency to riot when things go poorly for their teams. Or maybe it's when things go well for their teams. I don't remember what the trigger is.

Either way, there is a pretty good chance we will see a riot in Toronto this week.

Key load of crap in this story: "I can attest that double poles are a priority for every community that I discuss."

I'm sure that the number one thing on the agenda for every town is the old double-pole problem. It's not school funding or cherry sheet imbalance. It's not taxes or unsafe roads/bridges.

No sir, it's none of those things.

The number one thing that towns want to discuss with the state government is having two utility poles next to each other...

Our state government is so full of shit I don't understand how any of them can form coherent sentences.
