Random Thoughts, Sights, Sounds - A Potpourri of Knowledge

Let's see... The Patriots are on a bye week this weekend and the Red Sox are playing three meaningless games (who would have thought that when the season started) against the New York Yankees the next couple of days.

As a result of this being a free weekend (free from sports anyways) this would be the perfect weekend to partake in the annual New England family fall ritual of apple picking. But add to that three days of rain (which will wash out any chance of watching those boring Red Sox-Yankees games) and that my friends makes for one pretty boring and uneventful upcoming weekend of no sports or apple picking.

The Red Sox still have a mathematical chance of winning the division, but the chances of that happening are on par with me dating my favorite Hollywood actress. Yes, it's mathematically possible but the chances are two-fold - slim and none.

Gratuitous Sarah Palin photo - had to be done to spice up this blog entry (which was getting as boring as our sporting options to watch this weekend).

In the words of that famous sportscaster Dick Enberg, "Oh My!!!"

The video below shows why the rest of the world doesn't have any respect for the United States. It's not because our President is an idiot, or because our economy is in the toilet, or the fact that we've been in Iraq way to long (which is perception not reality), it's because we have citizens like this who make us look bad.

Why would you think getting pepper sprayed in the face would be a good idea? How do you reach the point where having your buddy blast you in the face with pepper spray would be fun.

And finally, is this a woman who looks like she needs to protect herself with a handgun? By the looks of her, I would go no where near her (gun or no gun). Why doesn't she do society a favor and shoot the gun who wanted to get pepper-sprayed in the face? She's angry because they took away her concealed-weapons permit because she brought her gun (though looking at the picture, that's not a gun, that's a cannon) to her 5-year-olds soccer game. She can't figure out why they took away her permit.


Have a great weekend everyone.
