Is it 3 PM yet? Update 8/14

At 3 PM the Aeros are supposed to publish the season schedule.
While wating with baited breath, I think I'll sound off on some things that bug me:

1. Obama Care - Americans are up in arms and let it all hang out at town hall meetings out shouting the pols present. While Mr. and Mrs. USA fret, our 'noble' reps in Washington have roaring good times traveling on "fact-finding missions" paid for... you guessed it, the USA tax payers. Would they give up their healthcare and pensions plans for Government care? You bet.. NOT!

2. What the h... piracy in the English Channel? Or hungry giant squids from the ocean deep?

3. Cash for clunkers? Really, looks to me suspiciously like those that could afford getting loans for new cars just cashed in while those that truly could not affort payments are still driving gas guzzlers/clunkers anyway! And who pays for all that? Yes... you are right!
He is not exactly Johnny Cash, but seems quite handy on the guitar-enjoy his
"Cash for Clunkers Blues"

4. More unemployment claims- and the government is optimistic?

5. When IS our esteemed PREZ actually in the White House and not traveling all over the globe or sermonizing in the States? Surely he must be good at delegating!

6. Athletes are meant to be kids' shining examples? Why do these guys and gals, after struggling to achieve fame and glory plus Millions, do these inane things? Is it the constant craving for exitement, having to demonstrate daring do, thumbing noses at the law and common deecency, having a 'Jack, The Ripper' mentality (Hey, catch me if you can!) and, most of all, counting on the 'indulgence' of the devoted (and blinkered) FANS and courts? I can't explain it.. it just seems obscene to me.. they have so much and waste it all! And upoate on Vick, he's back in the NFL and drawing millions.

Enough moralizing and complaining.


IS IT 3 PM YET ???

Whoopee, the AHL schedule is out and the comments are positiv. Just a few 3 on 3 games, the 'boyz' be here for Christmas, and off for Thanksgiving, plus starting off the season in Manitoba. Not such a backbreaking schedule as last season's.

And we are off for the next week or so. Blogging will resume after our return.
