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

Posted on January 29th, 2010 by Richard. Categories: Just for Fun, Sports & Recreation.

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

Spam

Posted on January 21st, 2010 by Richard. Categories: Just for Fun.

No one is completely immune to spam these days. It comes usually  in the form of unwanted, unsolicited email. Just how do they get everyone’s addresses anyway? Then there is the more basic question of why spammers are so ill-mannered in the first place? I wish the government would crack down on it. They could easily. You can tell by the email header who is sending it. Levy some HUGE fines or throw

Doorway to the Past

This remnant of the wall from the old market with archway and masonry detail has always intrigued me. It stands alone out in the open, in the park area to the west of the main entrance of the City Market. I know that it was preserved probably because of it’s historical significance and rich detail, but don’t know enough about the old market building to understand where and how it was actually used.

The Black Hole of Knowledge

Posted on January 8th, 2010 by Richard. Categories: Just for Fun, Public Buildings & Sites.

Was absolutely astounded today to see mounted to the facade of the Central Library what appears to be a huge rubber inner-tube from something the size of a giant earth mover. It’s been a little while, but it wasn’t there the last time I looked. I try to stay open minded about public art, but for the life of me, I don’t get it.

I take no credit either for the

Zero Handicap

Bet it was not too difficult to get a tee time today? No waiting. I took a quick spin into Sahm Park as I was headed for an appointment. I didn’t expect to find anyone around. Just wanted to take in the scenery. This Green looked kind of frosty. Wondering if that would make it fast…or slow? Yeah, the weather has been kind of cool lately. Yesterdays low was zero and today’s wasn’t
