A belated Happy Birthday to Grasshopper No.1. Hope all your dreams come true!
Grasshopper No.3 bought a Volkswagen diesel SUV several years ago. He boasted about the 47 miles per gallon. Four cylinders. Turbo. I understand that Volkswagen is under indictment for lying to the public about mileage. They face $6 billion in fines. What recourse does No.3 have? I guess like the rest of us, he sucks it up and takes the loss.
My money message for today? Save, save, save.
Your Mom and I got to see Grandson Mitchell play football Friday night. His Middleton Cardinals defeated Sun Prairie 42-13. Middleton remains unbeaten and rated No.6 in the State. It rained. Again! Mitchell is the only player on the football team to play “both ways”. He plays defensive end and tight end on offense. On the second play on offense, Mitchell caught a 14 yard pass for a touchdown. He definitely has inherited some of my family genes. Later that night, we were watching local Madison TV and the hi-lighted game was Middleton. Yep, they showed Mitchell scoring his touchdown. He is 6 foot 2 inches tall and weighs 200 pounds. He did not get that physical presence from me.
Today is the last day of Summer! Really?
Love,
Dad
