It is hard to believe that half the year is gone. The 4th of July weekend is ideal “lake, boating, and fireworks”. And then you blink and the Green Bay Packers will be starting the football season. Whoa! Slow down, you’re going to fast!
Things could be worse economically. You could live in Greece. All bank accounts are frozen. Each person is allowed $66 per day from an ATM (if you can withdraw before the cash runs out). You have to pay mortgages, rents, medical and food from the cash. All banks are closed for a week. If the country of Greece can’t figure out how to pay off their “mountain of debt”, it will get worse. My mother would have been a survivor. She always had a cash stash in a coffee can.
I’ve marked my calendar for the State Fair in early August. The food offerings include “Beer Battered Pretzel Coated Deep Fried Cheese Curds”. If that doesn’t suit your pallet, there are “Deep Fried Pickle Dogs” or “Bacon Bottom Porker pizza with bacon-weave pizza crust”. You get free prescriptions of Lipitor (cholesterol lowering medication) to unclog your arteries.
Basketball coach Bo Ryan has announced he will retire after next season at UW-Madison. He has named his assistant as a top candidate to replace him. There is only one replacement and he coaches for Virginia. His name is Tony Bennett. Think big Wisconsin.
I’m going to the Huckleberry Camp Ground in New London tomorrow night for the spectacular fireworks!
Love,
Dad
I’ll even let you shoot the opening SHELL!
