I'm sure by now you guys have all seen the video of the collapse of the Metrodome last Sunday morning in Minneapolis. Well, since the roof can't be repaired by this week, the Vikings will have to play their game against the Bear this week at the Univ. of Minnesota's OUTDOOR stadium.
And, if you listen to the talking heads on ESPN, you'd think there was never an NFL game played outside EVER! I hate to break this to some people, but they play NFL games outdoors in places like Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Chicago, New England, Cleveland and Canada Buffalo. I'm pretty sure this one can be played in Minneapolis without too much incident.

Speaking of the NLF. Why is that coaches don't hesitate to go for it on 4th and anywhere from 1 to 3 yards if they are on the opponents 38 to 25 yard line, but NEVER go for it on 4th and 1 inside the opponents 10 yard line? Drives me crazy. Worst thing that happens is you don't make it and force the other team to go 90+ yards. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

Okay, politics...
They are, once again, about to vote on the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. And once again, there are republicans saying publicly that they intend to vote “yes” on repeal. But, we all know what's going to happen. They're gonna make up some bullshit reason that the democrats are being mean to them, and then all end up voting “no” and keeping the bill from going to a final vote. Happens every time. And it'll happen again this time.

I went to the post office on Monday to mail a package of presents to my sister. I walked in and headed straight to the area where the self-help area to use the automated checkout to send my package. But, it wasn't there! And the line was looooooooooong. So I had to leave and go back later.
When I went back there were only three people in line. Of course, the post office made up for this by only having one window open. Anyway, I finally got up there and asked the guy where the self-help machine went.
PO Guy: “To Jonesboro”
Me: “Why?”
PO Guy: “They don't have them for every post office and they decided to move ours to a bigger office.”
Me: “Was it just too efficient and making things too easy?”
PO Guy: “Yeah.”
Then he weighed my box and all that stuff ..
PO Guy: “We can get it there on Wed. Guaranteed for $42.90”
Me: “Is that in Pesos??”
PO Guy: “Well, we can also send it for $11.00 and it's estimated to get there on Wed. but no guarantees.”
Me: “But, it'll be there by Christmas Eve”
PO Guy: “We can't guarantee that sir.”
Me: “You can't get this little ole package to Omaha, NE in 10 business days? Should I use UPS?”
PO Guy: “I'm sure it'll get there no problem.”
My sister got it on Wednesday.

Check out the light display this dude put up on his camper that he has set up at a trailer park just down the road from me. I think the lights cost more than his home...
