Grasshopper No.1 has shared Vudu online streaming of “Hell On Wheels”. Your Mom and I blew threw the first 3 seasons of TV programing but Season 4 is now airing and we have missed it. Apparently, Vudu has access to current weekly presentations. We are up to date! Thank you No.1
Tonight is Friday night high school football. Game time temperatures will be 45 degrees and wet. Do we like this game or what? Both Grandsons Mitchell and Dominic are in action.
As you know, I grew up with a baseball pedigree. One of the secrets to being a good baseball hitter was to “stand-in” on a curve ball. As a batter you need to discipline yourself because a curve ball starts out looking like it is going to hit you (the batter) and then it suddenly breaks away and goes over the plate for a strike. If the ball does not curve properly, the batter gets hit. That hurts. The result is most baseball players are not good at hitting a curve. At the Brewers game last night, a Florida Marlin batter got hit with an 88 mile per hour pitch because he couldn’t “get out of the way”. The hitter had facial lacerations, fractures of facial bones and some teeth knocked out (I don’t know about concussion). The question will be “does the Marlins player Giancario Stanton have the guts to stand in” when pitches start coming his way in the future? He will remember getting hit forever.
Finally it seems that to be successful with money, the TV series Breaking Bad is necessary viewing. Warren Buffett, “the Oracle of Omaha” had treatment of a cancerous prostate and was told by a friend to arrange for streaming old issues of Breaking Bad to fill the time while being treated. He apparently enjoyed the shows. His friend, Jamie Dimon, Chairman of JP Morgan bank has been undergoing treament of throat cancer. Buffett recommended Breaking Bad. Yep, Jamie enjoyed the shows also. These two financial gurus can’t be wrong. If you want to be financially successful, you need to watch Breaking Bad. Don’t say I never gave you a tip on money.
Harvest your crops soon. You might freeze your gourds.
