How many of those Hollywood types that threatened to move from the United States have moved ? Here’s the answer, NONE ! It’s likely they realized that nobody was going to miss them

A Cheesehead has hit the Lottery ! A single Powerball ticket sold in Wisconsin was drawn last night. That ticket is worth over $750 Million

Here’s my 2019 Major League Baseball Predictions. American League Division winners will be Yankees, Indians, and Astros. Wild Cards to the Red Sox and Angels. In the National League, division winners will be Washington, St Louis, and the Dodgers. Wild Cards go to the Braves and the Mets. Yankees Win the World Series over St Louis. There it is, Play Ball !

I’ve documented both here and on the Radio over the years the abundance of wildlife I encounter on the way to work each day. Skunks, Deer, even a bear (maybe) but this morning a new species. A mule was standing right in the middle of Teague Town Road. It wouldn’t move either. Now I understand where “Stubborn as a mule” came from
