Transmissions From The Representative From AMTRAK 8

chelseawin 2-17-17 premier league

Amtrak 8 will be arriving on YOUR planet shortly!!   I’ve pored through my photo archives and it dawned on me that I really have almost no pictures of Amtrak 7, the Empire Builder from Chicago to Seattle. Almost all my Empire Builder pictures are of the eastbound Amtrak 8. It’s most likely down to…

The Feeling Grows Within Me

social media sucks

My Room With A View   The feeling grows within me that what I see out my window here is increasingly relevant to nothing other than itself. This would not necessarily be a bad thing if I were delivering a sermon at your church, but in this case it releases the impulse to communicate, applies…

Is There A Doctor In The House??

Jose Mourinho meme

Manchester City 3      Chelsea o   There is always more to everything than meets the eye. But sometimes, what meets the eye is all you need to know. For example: SCOREBOARD! !

Find The Citizens

Manchester City

Everton  2      Manchester City 0   The title race is pretty much all over with. After today’s tilt at Goodison Park, there is nothing more than a spurious mathematical chance of The Citizens defending their Premier League title. They are 15 points back of ManU(re) and while it’s possible, it’s just not bloody…

Meisters de Schmerzen

THIS is why I hate Science Fiction!!   I get comments from friends (and imaginary friends) about why I only write about soccer (mostly) and NASCAR (somewhat) and Formula 1 (not often enough) instead of other subjects of alleged interest (besides dignity, style and culture, of course). Why don’t I write more about science fiction,…

The Elusive W

In 2023, Chelsea’s newest owner becomes bored with his team winning everything.  He decides to try his hand with NASCAR.   Imagine that. The post-Roman Abramovich era. It will be upon us someday, hopefully not soon, assuming the inherent dysfunction amongst the board and middle management gets corrected.  But what will be our fate when…
