5 Things We Know On A Sunday

  1. It’s Back To School Time. Kids today don’t have the joy of having the perfect Trapper Keeper, Bank Bag for pens and pencils and maybe later the clear binder where you could insert pictures and other things in it for the world to see. If you’re old enough, you might have taken school supplies to your classroom in a cigar box. Bonus points if you took the paper book covers and turned them inside out when you covered your books. Kids today. Man they’re missing out.
  2. It’s been since 2008 or so since we had a cat in our house. Now we do. Scout’s a fine cat-dog, working hard to fit in with the three dogs we’ve got. I’d forgotten a few things about cats. 1. The entire house and everything in it is there for their pleasure to amuse themselves. Whether crawling on it, pulling at it or jumping up on it, the house was built for the cat. 2. Cat’s have no intention of ever learning their name. Why do we name cats? Just call it cat and be done with it. 3. Just when a cat is on your last nerve, they have an innate ability to look innocent and sweet and make you not throw them in a lake. All cats can do this. Amazing.
  3. Top 3 Dairy Queen Blizzard “Flavors”. No. 3. Butterfinger. This one can be dicey. If the candy bar chunks are too hard, things can spin out of control. Teeth are in danger. But done right, high quality taste. No. 2. Heath Bar. I wouldn’t eat a Heath Bar on a dare. Put it in a Blizzard and I’ll have three. No.1. Do we really need to even debate this one? It’s, of course, the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard. It’s really why God created the Blizzard. He wanted the peanut butter cups to have a winter home in the dead of summer. You can enjoy other Blizzards, but this is the only one you’ll love.
  4. I’ve had the same digital watch ( nice Columbia) for nearly ten years or so. I’ve lost count. After all these years, I still have no firm grasp on how to change time settings on it. I just hunt and peck around until I get close. Sometimes on on Military Time and I just go with it. If you’ve got a digital watch and you think you really know how to set time, alarms and anything else, you’re a liar! It’s an impossible task.
  5. One of the biggest misconceptions most sports fans have, and it’s easy to understand given how folks are programmed by networks, announcers and writers, is that all professional athletes play for the Love Of The Game. They may love the game, but for most it is just a job. You have a talent, you maximize it to make money and you do the best you can for yourself and your family. No more. No less. You work anywhere you can, regardless of love for a City or region. You show up and you get your check. It’s a job and it’s how God has given you an opportunity to provide for your family. That doesn’t mean pro athletes don’t love the game. Most do. It does mean, they don’t love the game the way many fans do… Here in 2022, this would be helpful for some Golf fans to realize. 99.5 percent of the guys playing golf aren’t worried about legacies, trophies, history or ”the game”. They’re worried and concerned about making a living and doing the best they can for their family. When folks understand that, they’ll begin to understand why LIV Golf is eroding the power of the PGA Tour. If a legitimate alternative existed from a monetary standpoint for MLB, NFL and NBA players… you’d see the exact same thing play out. Fact.
