It’s Sunday! The plan is to stay home and take it easy today. The Bears don’t play the Saints until later this afternoon, so that’s a perfect opportunity to make some homemade soup. It will be a sausage/lentil soup that is based on Carrabba’s Italian Grill’s recipe. It’s one of our favorites that we make several times throughout the winter. It’s hearty, warms the bones, and goes down so nicely on cold days! I’ll let ya know how it turns out.

The video featured today is something that caught my eye a few days ago. Delivery drivers for UPS & FedEx have it pretty tough, especially around the holidays and even more so because of the pandemic. Every year we’re inundated with videos of the bad ones terribly mishandling or purposely destroying packages. So, I though it would be cool to feature one of the overwhelmingly majority of good drivers that take their job seriously and go above and beyond. Enjoy.

Last week we had an ice storm. My driveway was smooth, wet ice… super slippery. I heard the UPS truck pull up so I opened the garage and told him to just leave the package at the sidewalk and I’d figure out a way to get it, but he insisted on getting it to me. Above and beyond… this guy is awesome. -Walt

 
It’s Saturday! With all the political shit going on lately, I thought we could all use a bit of a diversion now that the weekend has arrived. And what better diversion is there than watching a bunch of grown men hurt themselves while attempting to ride tiny vehicles down a steep hill? Check out this video compilation of the best wrecks at their most recent event!

It’s Friday. I don’t like politics. And I generally don’t like talking about politics on my website. Before this administration came along it was a pretty rare thing to see anything political from me. I’m normally a pretty laid back guy but following politics over the past 4 years has been increasingly disturbing to me. I’ve seen the escalation of division and hatred and how this president not only allowed it, but more importantly encouraged it. This type of behavior is dangerous and has been fueled with lies that escalated into the violence we saw at the Capitol. He, his son, and Giuliani pumped up that crowd and sent them up the hill in the hopes to disrupt and overturn the election results. This president then went the other direction back to the safety of the White House to watch it all unfold on television, telling people that it was going to get crazy. People on his own staff implored him to address the rioters and demand they stop their assault on the Capitol and call in the National Guard. He waited. People died and were injured. When he did finally address them he spent 40 seconds of a 1 minute prerecorded message talking about the fraudulent election before calling the rioters “very special” and “we love you.”

This man is a disgrace. He will go down in history as a morally bankrupt piece of human garbage. And to those who still stand by him, keep in mind that in just 4 years he has cost the republican party the House and the Senate. And best of all, in two weeks we don’t have to listen to his shit anymore.
