Rantings Diversified

Well I did it again.  I didn’t mean to forgot to post yesterday but I did.
There is a TV show I watch every Monday night at 2100.  It’s called American Pickers.  It’s on the History Channel.  It’s pretty cool.  There are these two guys who drive all over the country looking for what most people would see as junk but they then sell at their antiques store in Iowa.  It’s a pretty cool show and I like wasting an hour every Monday night watching it.

It was a long day and I’m beat.
The Springboks beat Fiji to win the USA Sevens.
That’s all I got.

What a lazy day.  I sat around and watched rugby football all day.  I first watched Wales beat up Scotland in the 6 Nations.  Scotland really looked bad.  After that was over I was blown away to find rugby broadcast on NBC.  WTF, was my first reaction to find rugby playing on American national TV.  Well the USA Sevens are this weekend in Las Vegas and there is minimal coverage of it.  So this afternoon I watched the USA lose to Samoa.
Rugby is good.

?
I’ve been staring at that question mark for almost an hour now with no inspiration to write in a logical progression.

It was a year ago today that we received the second of two 20 inches of snow kinda’ snow storms that we had within a week of each other.  I was just digging through some old photos and I came across this one.

This is a picture taken at around noon that day.  It was snowing so hard that it appeared to be night time.  Note the snow shovel sticking out of the driveway.  I wasn’t finished digging myself out of the first storm.
So as I complain about the fact we haven’t been above freezing in over a week I’m just glad that it’s not snowing again.

I forgot to post yesterday.  I didn’t mean to I just plain forgot to do it.

Well the Steelers lost and that sucks but now it’s time to focus on the important things in this world.
Pitchers and catchers report to spring training on the 14th of this month.  Everyone else reports a week later.  This means that Baseball season is not so far away.  The Phils have re-signed Cliff Lee and everyone else will be back except Jayson Werth.  This addition to the pitching staff can only help the Phils get back to and win the Series.  Check out how deep they are in the rotation.
This is going to be a great year.  I’m looking forward to it.

So after I got up this morning I decided to watch the local Sunday morning news.  Which I did at 0900.  Actually I just kinda’ half watched it.  I had it on and was putzing around the house.  Well along comes 1000 and I go to turn it off and I realized that Super Bowl coverage had started.  WTF?  It’s ten o’clock in the morning and the game doesn’t start until 1830!  I know that the Super Bowl is a big deal but cut me a break.  Eight and a half hours of pregame crap!  I mean… c’mon that’s a bit execessive.
The third quarter just started and the Steelers are losing 21 to 10.
Go Steelers!
UPDATE: Packers 31 Steelers 25

Today I was lucky enough to watch France kick Scotlands ass in rugby football.  Not that I’m a fan of France but they outclassed and out-played Scotland big time.  I am looking forward to the Ireland v France game next Sunday.  I hope the BBC carries it.  See that’s how I got to see todays game.  I now get BBC America on my TV.

I knew I didn’t want to go out today.  Brrrr, it’s freakin’ cold outside!
I don’t want to spend all my time here bitching about winter but summertime and sandles are much better.
Today I started reading, “War of the Worlds” by H.G. Wells.  Good book!  I’m only a few chapters into it but so far so good.
