The little township of Clintonville (northwest of here) has been experiencing loud “explosion like noises”. The explanation is “earthquake”. It gives new meaning the term “big bang”.
As I write this, son-in-law Tom is undergoing kidney surgery. He has skilled doctors. I know he has a large family support group. Obviously my thoughts are with him!
For those that follow basketball, our State has had two college teams “dancing in the national NCAA tournament. Both teams went into the weekend as part of the Elite 16. Not any more. Wisconsin lost by one point and Marquette by more. I have a bet with a family member and suddenly teams like Kansas and Kentucky hold the key to my winning or losing money.
I still don’t have my new chair. I was told it could come as soon as 10 days and we have hit the four week mark.
I have a friend who bought a 3-D 55 inch plasma HD television. It was purchased with 2 pairs of 3-D glasses included. When the set was purchased, the friend was told that the glasses were being shipped and would be available in several days. That was in mid-December, 2011. The “best information” at this date (3 months and counting), is that manufacturing for the glasses will begin April 18 and Panasonic should be able to fill all orders by early Summer. Think about it. A 3-D TV was bought for Christmas and it is going to take over 6 months to get the glasses. I know what I’d do with the TV set and it ain’t nice. My opinion is that 3-D technology isn’t ready for mass purchase.
Grandson Dominic is involved in a year around football conditioning program. He begins his Freshman year in high school this Fall. When I was Dominic’s age I was running around the streets of Plymouth playing basketball on the playground and getting into trouble. Times have changed.
All the blooming flowers will be buried in snow soon!
