I know

At 7:00 last night I realized that I had not posted any links. I also realized that this little corner of the internet isn't all that important and missing a day or two will not cause our society to cease functioning.

As for what's happening over the last two days, the Bruins beat up on the Red Wings 5-1 the other night and I managed to stay awake for the entire game. They are now at 8 games with 5 wins and 3 losses.

I'm still trying to figure who created a schedule where the Bruins and the Islanders have only played 8 games while almost every other team in the league has played 10 or 11 games. Seems a bit lopsided to me.

Tonight they are in Toronto to take on the Maple Leafs.

While I eat some dinner and then watch som hockey, you can check these out:

• Oh Canada.



• We don't pay cops enough.



• Key phrase in this story: "Always flush the toilet before sitting down in countries notorious for their snake population."



• Maybe they should wear masks.



• The author missed the perfect chance to ask the question, "Is the Pope catholic?"



• Who the hell drinks that much Bud Light?

Yes, I'm watching the Bruins.

They are winning 2-0 in the second period.

Not much to prattle on about. Here are some links:

• Oh Canada.



• Key phrase in this story: "...he said he wanted it back..."



• No thanks.



• It's shit like this that pisses people off.



• Key phrase in this story: "...taking her clothes off for no reason."

The Braves are the World Series champs

The Braves beat up on th Astros lsat night and made me a happy guy.

I'd be happier if the Red Sox were the World Series champs but I'll settle for anyone other than the Astros.

And yes, I'd even take the Yankees over the Astros.

For the record, pitchers & catchers report in just about 103 days.

I'd like to go on a rant about the current administration but too be honest with you, I've kinda stopped paying attention to them. They seem to be working hard to piss me off and paying attention to them causes me stress.

Goofy Joe and his ilk are working hard to implement sweeping "social change" (aka - increased taxes for unnecessary services) in this country and because of that, we are seeing a resurgence of republicans being elected.

I have a feeling that come 2024, I am once again be in a position where I don't like anyone running for president. Particularly if it's a toss up between Trump and Biden.

I'll probably have to write myself in...

...again.

I'm going to fall asleep soon.

You can visit these links if you want:

• That's a shitload of Big Macs.



• Ten years ago, this robot was sent to Mars on a two year mission.



• Only in Florida.



• I'm not entirely sure that eating tacos while living in a small sealed tube is a good idea...



• Not Florida but close enough.

Yes, I'm going to watch the World Series tonight

The Bruins are still off so I'm limited to what sportings I can watch. That means I'll be watching the World Series tonight.

Game 6 will be played in Houston and as far as I'm concerned, it would be great if the Braves won tonight. That would make them the World Series Champions with a win in Houston.

Having the Astros lose at home would be poetic justice.

Not much else to prattle on about tonight.

Here are some links:

• If this is true, this is huge.



• In my humnble opinion, John Eisenman is a hero and he should be awarded a medal.



• Turns out Buddy Crabtree made bad decisions.

Chalk up another win for the Patriots

The Patriots managed to hold off the Chargers yesterday and win the game 24-27. Jones was outstanding and the defense once again stepped it up.

Of course, it didn't hurt that the Chargers did not seem to very focused on the game. There was more than one occasion where a Chargers receiver ran a route but never looked back to see if maybe the football was on target. As a matter of fact, one of those failures to look for the ball led to a Patriots interception.

Next Sunday they will face off against the Panthers at 1:00. Both teams are tied in the standings at 4-4 so it should be a pretty good game.

⧫
The Astros avoided going on vacation last night when they beat the Braves 9-5. The Braves lead the series 3-2.

They are on a travel day today and tomorrow they will play game 6 down in Houston.

Yes, I'm still hoping the Braves win.

We had about 50 kids show up looking for candy last night. The majority of them were little tiny kids. And when I say little, I'm talking about kids between 2 and 5 years old. And those kids were on cloud nine because they were collecting candy.

The neighborhood kids that know us all showed up and giggled like maniacs as they showed off their costumes. The prevalent costume ensemble appeared to be "police officer" with "weird alien" a close second.

We also had 15 or 20 teenagers show up, traveling in packs of 3 or 4. They were all very polite and having a really good time. One group consisted of three boys and three girls. The boys were being typical teenage boys, horsing around and playing grabass with each other. One of the girls looked at me, sighed, rolled her eyes and said, "I apologize for them. They're boys."

All-in-all, it was a good Halloween with a lot of laughter and no problems.

No sports tonight so I guess I'll be watching my DVRs.

Here are some links:

• This strikes me as bordering on fraudulent.



• I'd bet good money they are called "HalloWeenies"...



• Seems to me that divorce might be a better option.



• More proof that our society has some incredibly stupid people in it.



• This is a long read but it does a good job explaining the possible reasons for the shortages and supply line issues.



• Only in Florida.
