The Big Game

It’s here! The 48th Super Bowl! 10 hours from now we will kick off the big game. Peyton Manning won the MVP and Offensive Player of the Year last night and God willing, will be the first player to win Super Bowls with 2 different teams. We all sure hope so.

It’s about zero degrees outside right now, too bad the game isn’t here! We’re heading over to Jeff and Tina’s house for the big game around 2pm. Lori texted her yesterday and there will only be 13 people including Lori and I and our friends Ty and Aime, who are coming with us. The boys too are coming unless Jagger goes to Jennifer’s. We’ll find out this morning what he’s doing.

Yesterday the big news of the day was that Mom cleaned out Ty’s room. This may not sound like much but trust me, it would have been easier to clean up a hazardous waste site than to clean out his room. She didn’t spare a corner and this is the first time we’ve seen his window siles since we moved in some 14 years ago. We now also have proof that the floor IS wood under his bed. Hopefully he will keep it this way. But wait, she didn’t stop there, next up she tackled Jagger’s closet. You might not know it, but it’s swallowed up things such as miscellaneous shoes and boots, some missing pots and pans from the kitchen, and word has it, even some small farm animals, just like a black hole in space! I don’t think she’s finished but is almost there. Quite the undertaking, if she can do that, the Bronco’s can surely win the Super Bowl!

I must have shoveled the walk and driveway at least 3 times yesterday as it snowed most of the day. Ty had D.I. from 3:30 until 5:30 and then I bbq’d up some buffalo strip steak which surprisingly, the boys gobbled down. It’s higher in iron (and cheaper) than normal beef so I bought some for Lori although she didn’t look too tired yesterday. She and the boys are all still sleeping though.

Not sure if you know it but beef prices are at a 63 year high. This is due to the  herds being culled or thinned out over the last two years by ranchers not being able to afford to feed them. Time to start our cattle herd. The stock market also had its worst month in 5 years since 2009. Russia has suspended cash withdrawals from banks. Countries in Europe like Spain and Italy have passed laws saying people cannot protest (this will not work) while others who tried this like the Ukraine, repealed laws against protesting to prevent civil war and their leader has gone on an indefinite sick leave. Folks, don’t think you’re safe. I’ve abstained from politics (I sound like a politician using the word “folks” don’t I?), 2014 is going to be hell. I ran into a Vice President of a major bank in Denver yesterday who told a bunch of us (we were all at our local gun shop cops use waiting for a local police department we know to bring in a bunch of confiscated guns from their evidence locker to sell cheap) and he said take any spare cash and turn it into something of value. His exact words were to “buy guns, ammo and canned food”! I most of you all, and most people in general are in denial and think nothing can or will happen, especially  to you, and that our gov and society will take care of us but sadly it is not capable of doing so. So, I don’t care where you live or what you think, next time you are at the grocery store, you need to buy some extra food. It doesn’t take that much money to throw in a few extra cans of spaghetti or boxes of macaroni. Just buy things you’re already eating. You won’t be sorry. I could go on and on with warnings or tell you things I’ve heard from reputable people in and out of the system, but I won’t. Suffice it to say, things are changing and not for the better. Don’t be fooled by the talking heads on tv telling you the economy is getting better. Do you really expect the Pres to get on tv and say things are falling apart? Come on now, wake up and think for yourself.

Ok, that’s it, I think I pretty much took it easy considering the state of the union (ha ha) and the fact that I haven’t talked politics for a long long time. Trust me, I could have been much worse!

In closing, today is a day for football, pray for the Broncos and for a safe celebration afterwards. A bunch of guys that I know from various agency’s (Federal, State and Local departments) have all been called in to work to prevent what they think will be big riots, win or lose. I think the cold will keep things calm but they’re not taking any chances.

Oh well, we’ll be safe, I’m going to be the designated driver today and Lori won’t drink more than 1 cocktail if that, so we’ll be fine. Wish the game started earlier but it is what it is.

God Bless you all and God Bless the Denver Broncos!
