Haikus are silly

Bet retirement is awesome

Jefferson was smart

 

Rod agrees

Not today J Stone

I've another thought in mind

The Founding Fathers

...see what I did there?

But really, the more I think about what our founding fathers did, and the cautionary statements they provided, the more I believe these men were some of the finest individuals that one could ever hope to know.  Where is this coming from?  On our company portal today, this quote from Thomas Jefferson came up... "I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them" - relevant back then, cautionary today.

Gold Medal Biting
Haiku as a writing style
Both seem dumb to me

Extra time to muse

Let's liven up the Board with some mid-summer haikus, shall we?  5-7-5.  I'll start.

Medal stand biting...

"Verifying" gold medal...

Stupid photo op...

Rod, I actually googled the whole deal about taking a bite out of the medal because I also think it is stupid.  It is done for a couple of reasons.  (1) photographers think it creates a nice shot (disagree), but mostly  (2) it started when some Olympian did it at some point, no one sure when, and the story is that gold miners used to test if something was real gold by biting down on it because real gold is soft enough to leave an impression I guess.  Something to that effect.  I still think it looks stupid (get off my lawn!) but that's the story.

The Olympics for the most part was pretty good and I watched a lot of them during the two week run. One thing that annoyed me last Olympics and again this Olympics was the gold medal winning USA athletes pretending to take a bite out of the gold medal.

It’s not funny. It’s kind of stupid. There’s no point to it. It just plain doesn’t make any sense. I know most of them are young and excited that they achieved the most prestigious honor in their respective sports. But it’s still in my opinion just kind of dumb…..

Took a ride by the stadium today to checkout the progress on the new stadium. The top level on the east side facing west looks to be about 3/4 done with the lower bowl looking to be completed. Not sure if they are ahead or behind schedule but it’s definitely coming along.

That was Joe choosing #10 for us.  He's now a real certified teacher.  He's very smart! 

Doesn't matter what position we draft from.  We get screwed pretty often on this "random" draw crap that only one guy runs alone annually.  Total BS, but we're still going to kick your asses like we almost always do.

And just like that....... The order for Draft Saturday is set.

The next order of business is to get my partner an accurate head count for golf so that he knows what he is dealing with there.......

So long Chase Claypool....... we hardly knew ya......

Pretty obvious that Kamala is following the Biden Basement Strategy in her quest for the Presidency........

Speaking of that strategy....... anyone have any idea who is actually running the country now that the figurehead has basically disappeared from the public view since he ended his reelection charade......
