JSS-- Thanks RL Carnival-- Drove 3 Miles-- Tony Romo and Bob Uecker Shouldn't Sing at Wrigley-- Favorite Animals Songs

JSS-- Just Some Stuff


1. THANKS ROUND LAKE CARNIVAL-- For the second time this year and 31st time (there was another two-fer weekend) in 30 years, the Round Lake Carnival's Bad Weather Hex continued. Weather was crummy all weekend with very cool temps since Friday until Sunday. When will they learn. Somebody needs to do something about that Carnival!!!


2. DROVE 3 MILES-- Speaking of somebody needing to do something about something, we have those wonderful lads and lasses at Big Oil who keep taking more and more money out of our pockets at the gas pump while they put more and more in theirs.

I'm doing my own little bit and really cutting back on driving. This past weekened I drove a total of three miles. None on Saturday and thre yesterday. Today, I drove 15, but multi-stopped: McDonald's for lunch, Home Depot, Aldi's, and Menard's.

Being retired, this is easy for me to keep mileage down. Unfortunately, even if most people did this, it wouldn't stop the GRBs from raising the price. There IS NO LONGER SUCH A THING AS THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND. Now, it's just the LAW OF GREED AND AVARICE.


3. TONY ROMO AND BOB UECKER SHOULDN'T SING AT WRIGLEY-- Quick, when is a qb from little old Eastern Illinois University better than a qb from big old Univ. of Florida. When the EIU guy is Tony Romo and the UF is Rex Grossman. Sunday, I watched the 7th inning stretch at Wrigley where they have guest singers for Take Me Out to the Ball Game."

Sunday, Tony sang at Wrigley, and the only thing I can say is, "Tony. don't give up your day job." He was horrible, but at least Root, Root, Rooted for the Cubbies and that is a lot better than we can say for Bob Uecker, who for a second time led the song and rooted for the Brweres, but hey, what can you expect.


4. FAVORITE ANIMALS SONGS-- And we're not talking about animals in a zoo, but the bluesy British Invasion band from the 1960s headed up by Eric Burdon. Bob Stroud, on hisSunday Rock and Roll Roots featured the top 13 Chicago Animals songs because of Eric's 67th birthday. If Eric is 67, that makes me ....

My top three songs by them are #1 Sky Pilot, #2 We Got to Get Out of This Place, and #3 Don't Let Me be Misunderstood. The number one Chicago song, why, "House of the Rising Sun" of course.

Just Some Stuff. --RoadDog
