When I was a kid, my mom would buy canned Spam. She would slice it into patties, fry it in a pan and serve it on a bread. It tasted like a ham sandwich. I liked it. I guess you could call it “the poor man’s ham”.
The Carnival Cruise Ship that blew out it’s engine off the coast of Southern California lost all refrigeration and food spoiled very rapidly. It took 3 days to push 4500 customers back to San Diego. The Navy flew in Spam and Pop Tarts. The news media makes that sound like bad thing. I ask you, what is wrong with Spam. The 3 days became the poor man’s festival. Spam, Pop Tarts and all the liquor you could drink. Sounds like Heaven to me. Toilets not working is another story.
The Holiday season is approaching. While it is a time to celebrate, it produces a lot of anxiety. It causes people to get their undies in a bunch. My advice? Keep it simple, minimize spending and share “yourself”. Beyond religious significance, people sharing time is what it is all about.
Minneapolis is under a snow storm watch this weekend. The prediction is that they could experience 4-8 inches of snow. That means that we soon will get the same “sh–!
The main components of Grasshopper No.1’s kitchen are completed. I should have known because Menards and Kohler announced record earnings. Must be nice.
If the UW Badgers win this weekend, they will have two remaining conference games. They travel to Michigan on Nov.20. If they could “get by” the Michigan game, they will be at home for the final game of year against Northwestern. That would be for the Big 10 championship. I would face the dilemma of using our tickets to endure potentially lousy weather to see a historic game or sell the tickets. I guess I’ll have to see how it plays out. There are a lot of “ifs” in the championship scenerio.
Stay warm,
Love,
Dad
