Everybody has problems including Denmark. It seems that a ship accidentally went over a net at a fish farm sending 80,000 Rainbow Trout loose. Since they are used to being fed they likely will starve instead of finding food so fishermen are encouraged to buy a license and catch as many as they can! After this stupid election of ours Denmark is looking very attractive if anyone wants to move.
I saw footage of the city of Aleppo this morning and it looks like Berlin at the end of World War 2. It's estimated that it will be totally destroyed by December.
Burt Reynolds is going down to Key West to receive a lifetime achievement award of some sorts. What a great place to receive an award, any award will do!
I'm still basking in the glow of the terrific Cubs game last night. Somebody just bought 4 tickets to game 5 of the World Series in the secondary market for $71,800. That's a lot of cash to watch history in the making but one thing I'm sure of. It wasn't me buying those tickets!

San Francisco Treat
The Cubs advanced to the NLCS series and everybody is going nuts celebrating except for me. I expected this since I attended spring training. Maybe I'll get more excited if and when they win the next series but I won't get terribly excited until they win it all. Beating the San Francisco Giants was a great accomplishment but there is still two more teams to beat.
My man Javier Baez is such a great player and my favorite also. Even though he doesn't always start I tell everybody that in the long run he will be just as good as Kris Bryant in a slightly different way. He sure is pure excitement to watch and his defensive glove is pure magic no matter what position he plays!
The St. Marcus Mustangs advanced in their soccer conference tournament with a 2-0 win today. Coco played another great game as a midfielder and seems to have found his position.
The leaves are a falling pretty good now and winter will be here before we know it. I'm just going to enjoy watching these two teams and have an excellent fall and not worry about old man winter!

5 Hour Game
What a great 5 hour, 13 inning playoff game tonight for the Cubs. Unfortunately they lost but it was a fun game to watch. Those West Coast games are always tough as it's 2am while I write this.
Tomorrow's game will be another good one. Coco has a conference playoff game then I have a dog training class for Mango. It's going to be a full day. It's win or go home for the Mustangs but I'm sure they will rise to the occasion as they carry a 9-3 record into the tournament.
I'm still feeling dirty from last night's debate. Totally disgusting. Since the primary debates Trump has brought the whole process further into the gutter and it turns off a lot of people. I never understand people who don't vote but after watching last night I kind of understand. They just want to wash their hands of the whole disgusting mess.
I've never missed a vote in my life. It started out not having a choice. If I wanted to live at home I had to vote. No pressure there!

The Scottie Nell Hughes Poop Face
I was watching Scottie Nell Hughes this morning on CNN trying to defend Trump once again over his latest scandal. The poor woman had such a funny face throughout the whole ordeal which probably lasted at least 5 minutes. It looked like the camera was filming her while she was sitting on the toilet. I find reading on the toilet more relaxing myself. Anyway Scottie, there's about 30 days left in this election so you better buy a case of Tums cause this is only getting worse and you probably aren't getting paid enough to spew that much B.S. I'll give you credit though. It's obvious the other Trump surrogates don't believe the B.S that comes out of their mouths but mostly I think you do. Or, you're a great actress!
I took Coco to the bus this morning for the big soccer tournament in Appleton. I'll head up in a little bit and hopefully be back in time for the Cubs game tonight. He's bringing a couple members of his posse over for a sleepover. Or, more like a don't sleep let's play Xbox all night!
What an exciting pitching duel last night. A totally great game. Lester and Cueto just pitched lights out ball. The Cubs won 1-0 on a homer by my man Javier Baez. Great defense played all night by both teams. More hitting tonight please as my stomach can't take the suspense. I don't wanna end up like Miss Hughes!

Blue Collar Billionaire
Enough is enough already. I can tolerate Trump because I know what he's all about which is an entertainer who says he's smart so many times that a lot of people believe it. That's fine. He doesn't fool me nor a majority of Americans but his sons are going way overboard and I just plain don't like the sons. They referred to their father as a blue collar billionaire. What the hell is that? We already know that he doesn't own a pair of blue jeans, never held a hammer except for a photo op and eats pizza with a fricking fork! What an insult to millions of men like my father who worked hard for a living being screwed over for wages time and time again by the likes of Donald the con man Trump. His sons area disgrace and owe real blue collar people an apology. Growing up in a penthouse doesn't have to shield one from the real world but these guys allowed it to happen like a couple punks!
Gary Johnson should just drop out of the presidential race. He couldn't name the leader of North Korea. A 6th grader knows more than this clown!
We have a soccer game tonight. Coco fell on his knee in gym class so he's a little gimpy today so it will be interesting.
Monroe County, Florida which is basically the Florida Keys is pulling cars over and setting up roadblocks to inspect animals. Forty endangered Key deer have been put down with screw worm which is very nasty and can spread quite rapidly to other animals. Basically, maggots eat the heads of animals while they are alive. Normally I'm against random stops and road blocks but if you take a look at the photographs of the poor animals you won't have a problem with it. Have a strong intestinal system if you dare google it.
Hurricane Matthew looks like it will totally miss Key West as many boats are going down there for safety. Eastern Florida looks like it will be hit hard with a possible Category 5. Good luck to everyone down there and we all pray for your safety.

Bud Selig Gets Nominated
Tonight is the Vice Presidential Debate and nobody seems very excited for this milk toast of an event. They've had their moments in history but this one seems like a salad just waiting for the second main event.
The Cubs open up friday in the playoffs and have home field advantage for the entire playoffs. That's what happens when you win 8 more games than anybody else with 103 wins.
We have our dog training lessons for Mango tonight. This should be interesting to say the least!
Hurricane Matthew hit land in Haiti. A possible slight western path and it could hit the Keys. I'm sure they are preparing for worst case!
Bud Selig was nominated for the Baseball Hall of Fame today. He brought baseball back to Milwaukee in the 60's before selling the Brewers a few years ago. He was also the Commissioner of Baseball for about 17 years or so. We ate dinner next to him in Scottsdale this past spring when we were in town for spring training. A heckuva nice guy and good luck Bud!

Ocktoberfest
I think we're still recovering from Ocktoberfest down at Marquette Park. It was a long rainy saturday of soccer after a rainy friday night game so it was nice to hit the festive event with Dad and Dee and later joined by my niece Deanna. Krissy made an excellent choice!
The Bears finally won a game. I raved about Jordan Howard on draft day and the Bears finally gave him a chance and he rushed for 111 yards like it was nothing. My man!
We took Mango to the dog park and now she's sleeping like a baby!
Right now Coco and I are checking out the new show called Timeless. It looks like a winner so far!
Friday night is when the playoffs start and the Cubs make their run. Anything but a World Series win and I'll be disappointed. But I'm confident in this team!
