We Can Get Everything We Need At 3 Stores

I heard a report on the ABC Evening News tonight that we have twice the amount of retail stores in this country than we need. I believe it. I think we only need 3 stores in every city; Wal-Mart, Lowes and Ashley Furniture. That's it. That's all we need. If those three merged into one store than we would only need 1 store. Think of all the green space that would open up. Agree or disagree?

Now I'm Interested

I haven't been very engaged in the current NFL season, until now. The Bengals had their typical season but the Dolphins didn't. I followed Miami closely when living in S. Florida so I know how far they have come to make it to the playoffs. I never thought I would see Ricky Williams play again; much less play well. I'm pulling for the Dolphins to advance while rooting for the Vikings along the way too. I predict the Chargers win it all however. Ya gotta love the Lions. What happened to Tampa Bay?

KY Slips By FAU - 76-69

"I thought they played out of their minds," Gillispie said. "They just didn't miss any shots." A 48.2-percent accuracy (the best since Virginia Military Institute by a UK opponent) let the Owls control the tempo and make Kentucky play a possession-by-possession game. "Exactly what we needed," said Gillispie, who left unsaid the contrast to UK's recent bloodlettings against Tennessee State (ho-hum), Appalachian State (yawn), Indiana (zzzzz) and Mississippi Valley State (D.O.A.)Kentucky's size prevailed as Patrick Patterson's 27 points and 14 rebounds fueled an overwhelming 48-24 UK advantage in points in the paint.

Merry Christmas!

We Were There - KY - 102 - TN State - 58

When: 7 p.m. | Where: Rupp Arena
Meeks scores 32 - Patterson - 33

Looking Good....

In Kentucky's 93-69 rout of Appalachian State on Saturday, another chapter of lore was written when junior guard Jodie Meeks erupted for 46 points. He made 14-of-21 field goals, including nine three-pointers, and hit 9-of-10 free throws.
"On fire," UK coach Billy Gillispie said simply. "I've never had a guy score that many points for one of my teams. It was an unbelievable performance."

Two Hours of Ballet

Mary & I saw the Nutcracker for the first time last weekend at the Lexington Opera House. We were glad we finally saw it but I doubt if I'll be going back any time soon. Strange plot. The dancing rats kind of freaked me out a bit. And my hands began to hurt from all the clapping required at the end as the entire cast continued to come forward, bow, and demand applause. I didn't want to keep clapping but felt the peer pressure to do so. Two hours? whew...

If Only Rick Warren Was Gay.....

then the tolerant, diversity preaching left-wing liberals could agree with BO's choice to give the invocation at the Presidential inauguration.

I say "NO." She's never been arrested.

Support Your Country - Go Get A Loan

The Federal Reserve cut its key interest rate to a range of between zero percent and 0.25%, and said it expects to keep rates near that unprecedented low level for some time to come. It's an attempt to encourage people to borrow more money. So...do your part; dig yourself deeper into debt and help our country!

A Very Fun Win For Me! KY 72 - IN 54

The Indiana - Ky rivalry from years past has been tremendous. Pounding them in the ground yesterday was a joy to watch! The Cats played great the first half and built a 26 point lead at one point. The second half didn't have quite the intensity but that's to be expected in a game like this. The crowd was into it the first half when the game was decided. This team is definitely improving.

"I've Had No Contact With The Governor."

Barack Obama greeted Rod Blagojevich last week at the National Governors Association meeting in Philadelphia. Obama said he's had no contact with the governor but even David Axelrod, one of BO's chief advisors says BO & the governor spoke in November. Which is it?

Tonight Show Moving To 10:00pm eastern. Who Cares?

I really don't care because I have not watched a full episode since Johnny Carson retired in 1992. Apparently, this is a regular feature Leno does that I have never seen until recently.

Christmas Gift Idea - Under The File - "Why Didn't I Think of That?"

Golf Club With Dual Purpose: Iron And Urinal
Have you ever needed to use the bathroom during the middle of your golf game? Maybe, hit a ball into the woods just so you could sneak off and get some relief. Those days are over.  A urologist practicing in Florida has invented a solution for your troublesome bladder. It’s a golf club that duals as a urinal. This urologist kept getting complaints about men needing to use the bathroom while on the golf course. So he invented the UroClub. The UroClub looks like a golf club, plays like a golf club but has just a slightly bigger handle. That is because it s a container that can hold up to half a litter of liquid. The UroClub comes with a towel which hooks into the club for privacy and a very tight knob on top for preventing any spills.

Meet A Centenarian

I think it's fun to think about making it to 100 years old. (If you didn't have to worry about the money running out) I've never met a centenarian. Life expectancy in the United States has continually been on the increase with the advance of medicine and healthier lifestyles. In conjunction with this increase, the number of individuals 100 years old or greater, or centenarians, has also increased. According to the US Census Bureau:
In 2000, there were 50,454 centenarians in the United States, or 1 per 5,578 people, or roughly 18 per 100,000
In 1990, there were 37,306 centenarians in the United States. or 1 per 6,667 people, or roughly 15 per 100,000
When Forrest Wilson turned 100 years old last May, people asked how he has remained in such good shape. He said, “Living a good clean life, being a Baptist, and being a Republican.”
His advice for a long and happy life is “have a sense of humor” and “make friends.” “It’s easier to smile and make friends,” he says, “than it is to be a grouch.” Mr. Wilson smiles at everyone he sees in the Lois E. Harrill Senior Center in Boone, NC, especially pretty women, and it’s a frisky smile that sometimes seems to hide a secret or a sweet memory. He’s a regular at the senior center lunches, driving his Ford Tempo GL down from his Boone Mountain house off Highway 421 near Vilas after tending to his animals or other chores. He’s up at about 7 each morning and generally makes himself breakfast: grits or instant oatmeal, one cup of coffee, and two or three times a week he makes three eggs, sausage or bacon, and buttered toast with grape jelly or honey. His diet must suit him. He says the only time he’s been in a hospital was to visit. The only medication he takes is a half an aspirin per day. He grew up in Watauga County before electricity reached there and people got around by horse and wagon. Even after working with Blue Ridge Electric for 25 years–from 1946 to 1971–he jokes that he’s still not entirely accustomed to electric lights.
If I live to be 100, I would have to have at least 3 more knee replacements if they last 15 years each. Looking at it that way doesn't make it seem so fun.

Have Ya Ever Wondered...

I am wondering how many of the politicians involved in the auto bailout have received political donations from the United Auto Workers union. Think about it. They give the money to the auto manufacturers who in return give the money back to the politicians. It's the perfect racket.

Ky Beats A Team Many High Schools In This Area Could Beat - KY 88 - Miss Valley State - 65

KY gets out-coached - again - Miami 73 - KY 67 (And it really wasn't close until the last 5 minutes)

Billy's stubbornness loses another one for us. What happened to Harrellson & then Galloway comes in with 51 seconds? I just don't get it. I played basketball and have watched UK for 40 years and I just don't get it. Why didn't Liggins start today? Why didn't we press? BCG drives me nuts. He may end up bringing KY back to prominence but he's driving me crazy in the process.

A Very Memorable Christmas Gift For Me

Miami (The "U") at KY - Saturday - 5:30pm - ESPN

Should be a good one. I'm anticipating some trash talk from Chris G. (Big Miami fan who has roots in Louisville)

"Question....Hey...I Have A Question!"

If the government gives the "big "three" (as they have so cleverly marketed themselves) 20 billion dollars; what will they do with it? Correct me if I'm wrong but if people aren't buying their cars (mostly because the unions have destroyed the quality and the pricing of their products) that would mean the people who manufacture the cars would not be very busy on the assembly line. So would the money go toward continuing to pay people who are not really needed to manufacture cars no one is buying? Or would the money be used to pay off other loans which is borrowing from Peter to pay Paul which always has disastrous results? OK - that's two questions. Sorry about that.

Kiosk Harassment

I made a trip to the mall today and it felt like I was at the county fair. I had at least four employees at various kiosks yell at me when I was walking by wanting me to come over and hear their pitch. You think the least they could do is offer a chance to win a teddy bear. Leave me alone. I want to walk through the mall in peace. OK?

Ho Ho Ho!

YOU CAN BE A SANTA TOO!
