I'm slowly emerging from one of the worse sicknesses ever. I think I've lost ten pounds. And yet, I have this to say:

  • Why doesn't Home Depot carry washer hoses longer than 4 feet?
  • What is going on with the Budweiser/Miller TV/radio ad wars. Vicious stuff. Or all pre-planed? And don't they realize anyway that both beers suck?
  • The Reagan phenomenon was proved years ago with Nixon. No matter how bad a president was, he will always be remembered as good. Reagan at Bitburg (for example): "They (S.S. soldiers buried there) sufffered too." And what is all this crap about Reagan being against big government? Depends on who the government is spending on, no?
  • I've been here in the new place just three days and the city of Ferndale is hitting me with a lawn violation.
  • Pistons, baby!

    reminds me of the election.

    It was so close. Yet so far.
    Why oh why did they give up that run in the final minute or so?

    Was there a basketball game last night? I watched a celebration of all things L.A. The good guys did it to themselves. I was counting on Shack or Kobe fouling out in OT, but it was too little too late after the 8-0 run. Dang! If we'd gone up 2-0, it'd be time for champaign. Or beer. Or whatever.

    Pistons let it get away from them. Lakers miraculously (or maybe not) seem to be in the drivers seat. Those late Laker 3s.

    Hey Derek
    Yup. That motel is still there - right at the corner of 8 Mile and Woodward. Seedy as ever.

    Don't know much about the hoses. Probably something to do with the strict housing codes in Ferndale and vicinity. Ah, Ferndale. Isn't there a hotel right there on 8 Mile? One of my first claim adjustments in Motown: some drunken speedster rammed the retaining wall at the hotel (irony: I think the place is called Motorama). When I went to meet the owner of the hotel, the counter-clerk was cussing out a non-guest straggler for heating up a sandwich in the lobby microwave. You're not far from my bro's place in Eastpointe.

    And yeah, how about those Pistons? Must-win tonight for the LA Duds.
