   Thousands of college kids and family’s with ankle biters are getting ready to descend upon Florida’s beaches for their annual spring break vacations.  So are the sharks.  Hundreds of migrating spinner sharks were spotted off Florida’s east coast near Boynton Beach.  Over the weekend a diver was bitten and killed while diving about 50 miles off Ft. Lauderdale.

  In today’s Tribune, Bicyclist killed by SUV was participant in ‘Tour Da Chicago’  Is your first thought that the SUV driver needs to be charged with killing this guy?  Would you think differently if you read the rest of the story and learn that the cyclist was in a pack of rouge racers that ran the red light at a very busy intersention?  There’s a lot more to this story than just the headlines, folks.

IMHO, the cops should arrest all the cyclists involved in these types of races and the driver of the SUV should sue the estate of the idiot that was killed.

German police dogs are being issued footwear to protect their paws.

I wonder if the girl dogs get pink shoes and the boy dogs get blue. Or all they all going to be standard blue police issue?

I wonder if all police dogs in Germany are German Shepherds? Do they use Labradors and Bloodhounds, too? Or is it a “German” thing with the Shepherds?

What is it about German streets that are tearing up the dogs paws? Only comment I could find was that the cobble stone streets make it hard for the street cleaner vehicles to get up all the broken glass. Why is there so much broken glass in the streets anyways?

The new, free video game, “Iced” gives everyone practice on how to illegally cross the U.S. borders and survive on the streets of America without getting caught and deported.

This great game shows how to work the system and if you mess up and get caught, you face beatings from the police and deportation.

   It’s George Washington’s Birthday.  Have you ever been to his home Mt. Vernon?  Man that place is way cool.  My family and I visited it once on a trip to DC we took way back when I was still a kid.  It must have been really something living back in those days.  But you know, I don’t believe for one minute he chopped down a stupid cherry tree and ‘could not tell a lie’.  I haven’t seen a politician yet that could tell the whole truth!!! 

You know who you are!

Another year of experience and wisdom to add to your collection.

Find something fun to do today and celebrate. I’ve just now told the world it’s your birthday, so the secret is out already!

   I think it’s great to have one day to celebrate the presidents.  This is more or less just for Washington and Lincoln but if it’s a holiday they shut down the government and all their businesses, why isn’t it a paid holiday for everyone?  We don’t get the day off of school, well maybe some do but not here.  If there’s a special holiday for something, we should have a paid holiday or day off like the banks and mail do.  That’s just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions……….

   Well it really sucks when it’s Valentines Day and you have no one special in your life.  Everyone is planning their day and/or evening and I’m sitting here with nothing but mushy movies on the boob tube.  Perfect huh?  Well I can look at it this way, I’m saving a bunch of money.  You know, I could make some plans for next year IF I can find someone to celebrate with then.  You know, this is really a ‘girls’ holiday anyway.  All a guy hopes for is that he’ll get lucky

A couple guys in Michigan decided that they had to break the world record for the biggest hamburger. I don’t know why there has to be a world record for this, but these guys thought it was important and set about breaking the record.

Just the bun weighed 50 pounds. The burger weighed 134 pounds. No wonder it took two guys to carry it and three guys with large pieces of sheet metal to flip this sucker over on the grill.

If you think you can handle it, put your order in 24 hours in advance to Mallies Sports Bar and Grill and get ready to hand over $350. I wonder if it comes with free ketchup at that price?

Thank you to the Detroit News for the photo.

   It’s Groundhog Day!!!  We get to find out from a rodent if it will be 6 weeks of winter or if spring will come soon.  Yeah right??  Like a sleeping rodent can tell me the weather.  Where the heck did that silly crap start?  I checked out Groundhog Day on the Internet and learned quite a bit about it.  You should check it out.  I still don’t think waking up a groundhog will tell me anything though!!!!!
