Super Bowl Sunday Yulk!!!!!!

Well, it is Super Bowl Sunday, the unoffical holiday of football obsessed, face painted, food stuffing, beer guzzling lunatics!!! It is a day where winning isn't a matter of life and death, it is more important than that. At the cost of $2.7 million per 30 second commercial, just how many beers would have to be sold to just break even? How many to make the investment worth it? And we wonder why we have such a high percentage of alcoholics in the good ole USA. Whatever you do, don't run short on food or booze. That truly is the proverbial train wreck waiting to happen.

I tested with the Pinellas County Sheriff's department for a clerical position. Did pretty well. Then they tell you what they will need. Birth certificate and high school diploma. That is fine, I had the forsight to get those out of my storage unit in Indianapolis, before I came here. Then they lower the boom. They need my marriage license (that was 41 years ago) and a copy of my divorce decree (that was 22 years ago). What the hell!!!!! Why on earth would they need those things. I am not sure I even have my license. I do have my divorce decree. It is in one of about 200 boxes in my storage unit. That isn't all. They need every brush with the law you have ever had, including traffic violations. They want to know what and when. Holy Cow!!!!!!!!!!! What is up with that? I have had 4 speeding tickets in the 43 years I have been driving, but I can only closely guess three. I can't remember anything about the fouth except I am pretty sure there were four. They then give you a lie detector and since you remember everything subconsciencously, it will show deceptive if you don't list it. What a bunch of hooey.

Weather has been absolutely beautiful. Temps in the low to mid seventies. And unbelievable sunshine. Makes you just want to sit out in it and enjoy. Too bad it can give you cancer.

Hollywood Squares Wisdom: When asked, During a tornado, are you safer in the bedroom or in the closet? Rose Marie answered, Unfortunately, I am always safe in the bedroom.

Enjoy the Super Bowl commericals, they are the best part.
