And away we go......

The Queen got me the P90X for Christmas. Hard to believe that you could improve upon a body like mine but hey I'm willing to give it a shot. Actually I have read a lot of really good things about this program and it will be a great program to do this winter. Something new. Looking forward to starting the program.

Those Nasty Packer Fans!

A Green Bay Packers fan has been charged with assault in the stabbing of another man outside the Leaning Tower of Pizza on Lyndale Avenue in Minneapolis.
 
Minneapolis restaurant Monday after the two argued over the game in which the Packers lost to the Minnesota Vikings, authorities said.
According to the criminal complaint, Ryan Hinderaker, 30, was arguing with a 41-year-old man over the Packers-Vikings game. Police said Hinderaker, wearing a Packers t-shirt, stepped outside and was followed by the man he was arguing over the game with.
Hinderaker then pulled a knife out of his right pants pocket and stabbed the man in the stomach. The man was taken to Hennepin County Medicals Center, where he underwent surgery for his injury.

Hinderaker called 911 after the incident and turned himself in to Minneapolis police. Hinderaker has been charged with second-degree assault.

Smart Car? Maybe not.

$500,000? I'll take that job.

In the recent court battle of experts trying to determine whether Elizabeth Smart's accused kidnapper is mentally competent, forensic psychiatrist Michael Welner was the highest paid warrior.
The New York-based expert, who testified for federal prosecutors, was paid approximately $500,000. Two defense psychologists who testified last week earned less than $50,000 between them for their work. 

Seriously, do you really think it takes a half a million to conclude that this guy has some serious mental illness issues? He sings Christmas carols at his court dates and claims to be the lords prophet. And we wonder why all these states are going broke.

Someday somebody is going to take a look at where are money is spent. I just hope it's not to late.

Tiger, um, yea!

This is a picture of an event during Sunday’s game during a timeout at the Texans/Jaguars game this past Sunday. I think it is self explanatory.

Thrill of the hunt? No more!

Can you believe it? December 17th and the King is done with his Christmas shopping. There are a still small things to pick up but for the most part I am done! For those of you that don't know my shopping habits this is a miracle! I always say that to wait for the last minute is the thrill of the hunt. Well, not this year.

So bring on Christmas!

Now where did I park the sled?

One of his helpers was arrested for driving “Santa Claus” around while both men were intoxicated, and after Santa was reported to have hugged children and asked them where his reindeer were, Sparta police said.
Early Sunday afternoon, police dispatchers received calls about a suspicious vehicle, including one call from Elm Street on the city’s north side, police said in a press release. One caller said a passenger dressed as Santa stumbled from the vehicle, approached several children playing in a yard and began to hug them, demanding to know where his reindeer were, police said. He got back into the vehicle and left the area.
Police quickly found the vehicle, stopped it and determined the driver and Santa both were intoxicated.
The driver, Kevin Arnold, 47, of Sparta was arrested on suspicion of operating while intoxicated.
Police said Santa was identified as Thomas Arnold, 55, of Sparta, and was cited for open intoxicants.

Weinermobile to the rescue!

Jon Kleinow was saved by a Madison icon on Wednesday. Kleinow was on his way to work at the State Journal about 2:30 p.m. when his Hyundai began sliding back down a hill on City View Drive on Madison's Far East Side. He pulled into a driveway to Staybridge Suites and got stuck there.
Kleinow was pondering the alternatives when behind him appeared none other than the biggest rescue dog in Madison: the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile, trying to get out of the parking lot.
The driver, whose name Kleinow did not ask, quickly offered assistance. With the help of the driver and a passerby - plus the help of traction from cat litter provided by the Weinermobile driver - the car was freed.
Kleinow was so impressed he called Oscar Mayer to register his thanks.

12 inches plus and 40 mph winds = One crazy day!

This was taken outside the door at work. And now the winds are picking up. I was up at 5 to do my driveway and then had to wait for my road to be plowed. All the schools are closed today and there are a lot of people missing at work. The snow is a pain but is sure is pretty to look at.

Team Radio Shack Jersey!

To bad there not out in time to make the Christmas list. These are hot! I'm so so sure that I'll look just like Lance in mine, haha

This is funny!

"Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas  decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever.Great stories. But two things made me take it down.

First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.

Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn't realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard."

My Christmas Card From Tiger

Your tax dollars at work! What's next?

Milwaukee Public Schools could be one of the few districts in the country that provides contraception to students.
School board members will consider making free condoms available to students in many of the district's high schools. The district's health officials say the free condoms are needed to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
Two condoms would be available only after a student talks with a school nurse. The student would also receive literature about the risks of being sexually active.
A Youth Risk Behavior Survey conducted by the school district this year showed more than 60 percent of high school students in MPS are sexually active.
The Journal Sentinel reports a school board committee will take up the matter Tuesday.

Are we there yet?
