Hostettler mounting campaign to change the name of Interstate 69
Hostettler mounting campaign to change the name of Interstate 69
This nugget was brought to my attention by Electablog. Apparently, the morality of America is in danger because of Interstate 69…..I get the possible undertones of it but gee whiz, I hate to think that Indiana’s biggest problem is the number of an Interstate.
Now true, if the Interstate is extended as planned to Texas or whatever, then it’s breaking the numbering system for the Interstate system. Fine, then have that be the reason. But don’t try to get public support from the sexually boring folks based on the significance of the number 69. The senator states that ‘It’s the moral thing to do’ in reference to changing it to I-63. He goes on to mention being ’snickered’ at while wearing an I-69 button. What the hell are you wearing an I - 69 button for? And what do you expect wearing a button that says I 69??? That’s like me being a chef with a t-shirt saying ‘I toss salad’. I’d be disappointed if no one laughed at my dumb ass!!!!
Brunell Benched
Hallelujah!!! It only took the first 10 weeks of the season for Mr. Gibbs to realize he had made a mistake. Now, I can look forward to Redskins games again, though the playoffs are a long shot, at least I can see what Patrick Ramsey can do in an offense designed to keep the QB healthy. This move should really be good for the entire Redksins team; the offense will have more than one option to moving the ball, the defense will spend less time on the field hopefully keeping them fresher (if they aren’t already spent from the time spent on the field with Brunell’s inadequacies), and the games should be a little more exciting.
I am a little worried that P-Ram’s first matchup is against a strong Philly team. But they will be playing on a short week so we’ll see……
.500 Road Trip
Road trip didn’t go as well as expected with a blowout loss to Memphis and a blown lead against Houston. Wins over Houston and New Orleans do little to make up for our play in the other games. In fact, the narrow escape in New Orleans turned out to be the potential sign of a problem with this year’s Lakers. After holding a 33 point lead in New Orleans, the Lakers needed several key buckets down the stretch to get a victory. The following night, they were simply blown out in the second quarter against Memphis and couldn’t come back. I don’t see this team as the kind of team capable of a comeback for the simple fact that a comeback means Kobe will become one dimensional….he gets the ball, he will shoot in a comeback situation. That’s not the way this team is going to be successful. Don’t get me wrong, the ball does need to go through Kobe but not only as a scoring option. We have looked our best when we can get multiple folks in double digits and Kobe scores around 26 or 27. This means the Butlers, Odoms, Mihms, and Atkins are getting their touches to which keeps the defense honest.
But back to the potential problem, in Orlando Friday night, the Lakers held a 37 - 21 lead after the first quarter. At halftime, the score was 57 - 55 . . . Orlando!. The Lakers cannot continue to give up big leads. The same happened against Houston as well where a double digit lead suddenly was no more. It’s almost as if the team relaxes on defense and stops running as hard. I’ll keep an eye out on this trend but I can’t promise anything as my once proven sports bar still has not ordered the NBA League pass…..
Men’s Fragrances
Why are men’s fragrances always named with some nature related theme? My soap is Old spice Mountain Rush. I don’t recall the last time I was in the mountains and said, ‘Now this is what I want to smell like!’ Women have fragrances like Strawberry Apricot Illusions….I have Forest Rain?
