Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

JSS: Things Going Downhill-- Christmas Music Already?-- Gas Drop-- Sox Fan in White House-- Who Were Those Guys?-- CMBAs

JSS--Just Some Stuff


1. THINGS GOING DOWNHILL--One thing about weather around Chicagoland. Don't like it, just wait a bit. After three outstanding days M-W, it has gotten bad. Who'd have figured catching rays OD and eating lunch outside. Rain most of yesterday, but at least warm.

Very cold today with wind gusts, rain, and even snow flurries. Next week doesn't look much better with highs in the 40s.


2. CHRISTMAS MUSIC ALREADY?-- Yesterday, on our way up to Donovan's in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, we tuned into Milwaukee's 95.7 FM which normally plays oldies. They were playing Christmas group and had been since the first. This continues until Christmas. That's pushing the season a tad. Feel sorry for their DJs. All Christmas music all the time makes Jack an unhappy lad.

3. GAS DROP-- It was $2.39 in Fox Lake and $2.42 (2.41.9) in Round Lake on my way to the triangle Restaurant in Grayslake to meet my buddy Kip. On the way back a few hours later, it was $2.37 in both. Getting better, but still aways to go. Plus, the election isover. Watch Out!!

4. SOX FAN IN WHITE HOUSE-- No more of that Texas Ranger loving stuff. We will have a White Sox fan in the White House. President-elect Obama is a Southside fan. His wife likes that team up north. Cubs?

5. WHO WERE THOSE GUYS?-- Ball State is the real deal. Ranked #16 on the national charts, the Cardinals put an old-fashioned whuppin' on my Huskies of NIU on Wednesday. We couldn't do much of anything on our way to the 45-14 disaster. And, we're not a bad team, having lost the three games before Wednesday by a total of 11 points and two of them last-minute losses.

Sure hope they get a BCS Bowl bid.


6. CMBAS-- This weekend, the Carolina Beach Music Awards are going on in North Myrtle Beach and Myrtle Beach, SC. That's one big party with some of the best music anywhere around. Maybe I can be there next year.
