Out Of My Mind On A Friday Mornin’
Loading ...Sunday morning at 2:00AM Daylight Savings time ends. That means a bit lighter in the morning and a whole lot darker at night. What’s worse than driving home in the dark AND cold?
Obama is spending the rest of his days in Ohio. Does that mean he is a Buckeye and a Democrat?
And speaking of Ohio, when did rock stars get involved so deeply with politics. Do we really need Bruce Springsteen to be Obama’s tagalong and escort from Ohio to Iowa? And Katy Perry too?
How many pieces of Halloween candy did you eat? I love the thick Nestle Crunch and Almond Joy. At TNG, we had a huge costume contest, pot luck (very scary indeed!) and good time fun.
Can Starbuck’s really sell little cups of powdered milk for $1.00 a shot and it only yields 6 oz.? That comes to over $21.00 a gallon.
More than 20,000 runners were on hand for the Detroit Marathon, a record turnout. I ran the half in near record time (for me) at 1:34. Next up, the Turkey Trot (very fun 10K Thanksgiving morning)? BTW, why the urge to continue running the NY Marathon after all that has gone on?
Voting is this Tuesday. How many people vote based on the signs and how many people vote for candidates they know nothing about? Scary, very scary.
What’s going to be the hot gift for this holiday season? Most likely tablets from Apple’s iPad Mini. Microsoft Surface and Google Nexus.
Why does it rain the day after you get your car cleaned?
Does Apple pay people to stand in line to buy their newest product? Nearly 600 people waited in line at their NY Flagship store and the iPad mini sold out in an hour. Now this is with Manhattan under water, no power and at least 3 people per car just to get into the city.
Is MSU going to finally step up to the plate and beat Nebraska at home?
Happy Friday!

Here goes…..
1. Michigan is always the place to be. quite possibly the best state of all, unless you consider the failing automotive industry or the ridiculous unemployment rate. I blame unions, but most blame Obama.
2. I would imagine that the only thing worse than driving home in the dark AND cold would be living in Alaska, where it is dark ALL THE TIME for a good 6 months out of the year…. and cold to boot….. and where the wildlife is waiting to kick your ass at any given moment…..
3. Obama can go home. Same with Romney.
4. Rock stars should stick to what they know, which is music. the unfortunate part about celebrities getting involved in politics is that too many people hang on their every word without forming their own opinion for fear of not being considered a “true” fan. Bruce and Katy should go home too.
5. I successfully cleaned the Resse’s Pieces out of every candy bowl I could find. If you have any, hide them.
6. Starbucks can charge whatever they want for whatever they sell. I’m convinced that they could put mop water in a cup with a green straw and people would line up around the block for the newest “Mop Latte”.
Starbucks is so hot right now…….
7. Congratulations, Larry. I used to be a runner in high school, but now I would only consider running to save my life or that of my son or wife. Otherwise, I am the “couch entertainment” type.
8. Too many people vote based on mis-information or pure ignorance. Fox News and MSNBC are 2 of the most evil entities in the world, yet the masses cling to every word the reporters say while claiming to be a “source of fair and balanced news”. Please. That aside- in my humble opinion- aren’t we just picking what we feel is the lesser of two evils?
9. I can rarely afford the hottest new gifts for the season, but we all know Apple will take the cake. Don’t they always?
10. Well, I suppose it has to rain SOME time. maybe we should invent a “car wash forecast”. It could be huge.
11. First world problems. Apple and Starbucks are cut from the same cloth. If Apple announced the “ipad invisible” which featured an empty box, hipsters would fall over each other to get it. personally, I will wait to spend $800+ on a piece of technology that can be destroyed with a short fall onto my kitchen floor. I have seen people take better care of their iPhone than their child in the grocery store. Funny (or is it?).
12. Sports….. meh.
13. I missed the boat- Happy Monday!

Jeff you are so funny! You don’t post often, but when you do it makes me laugh out loud! Love #7.
Larry and Teresa love the costumes!
