Good Fortune

Posted on March 1st, 2010 by Richard. Categories: Just for Fun.

A few months ago, someone I know sent an email to me with this picture and instructions to pass it on to everyone I know. The ‘ol chain letter idea gone digital. The image is supposed to be of a Money Goddess…and supposedly the more people I forwarded it to, the more successful I’d be in receiving great riches afterwards. Let’s say I believed it…or even if I just wanted to pass it along as harmless fun, on

Colts Plan for Next Season

Posted on February 20th, 2010 by Richard. Categories: Just for Fun, Sports & Recreation.

No one will argue that in order to win the Superbowl, the whole team, and especially all your best players, have got to be healthy. And, having home field all through the playoffs can be a huge advantage. Seeing as how the strategy of resting and protecting the starters, even at the cost of giving away a chance at the perfect season, seemed appealing to those calling the shots this last season,

Recycling Fun

Posted on February 16th, 2010 by Richard. Categories: Just for Fun.

When recycling first began around here years and years ago, I remember going to a local collection area where you could bring your recyclable items and they would actually pay you the going rate per pound for what you brought. That kind of arrangement disappeared, probably because there wasn’t enough profit in it for them. But collection bins like in this photo began to appear in different locations throughout the community, and

We’ll See

So the Superbowl is today and everyone has their angle figured by now. They are rooting for the Saints because of this… Or they are for the Colts because of that. Of course some are even making predictions about the outcome…and even point spreads! Yeah, Uh Huh. Like they can actually see into the future? Some people have been die-hard Colts or Saints fans for years and there is no question about who they are

Another Six Weeks of Winter?

Posted on February 1st, 2010 by Richard. Categories: Holidays, Just for Fun.

At sunrise on Tuesday, the truth will be revealed. Yes, tomorrow is Groundhog Day. The way I figure it, Punxsutawney Phil can’t be any worse at predicting the weather than the crack meteorologists at the Weather Channel. Six weeks from now, everyone will have forgotten about the prediction anyway so Phil’s reputation will be intact no matter what happens. So let’s hope for a cloudy day on Tuesday. Who wants six more weeks of winter? Everyone is ready

Shoe Dat

The Saints fans have their “Who Dat?” thing going in New Orleans. That’s cool I guess. Whatever gets them going. But I’ve asked around and Googled my fingers off trying to figure it out. Does anybody really understand what that means? I’d like to know. Regardless…the obvious answer to the question ”Who Dat?” from an Indy perspective is…Blue Shoe, Dats Who.

I took this photo in the grand lobby of Lucas Oil Stadium. A projector

Colt’s secret weapon revealed

Posted on January 23rd, 2010 by Richard. Categories: Just for Fun, Sports & Recreation.

To shore up the middle of the defensive line for the remainder of the Playoffs, the Colts announced a stunning three player trade this week that sent two Indy second-round draft players to Buffalo in exchange for their goliath Defensive Tackle, Otto Blimponski who astoundingly had gone unnoticed by almost everyone on their practice squad. Coach Jim Caldwell said, “Otto should help us in a big way to stop the run, allowing us then to put
