The Top Three-Week of 12/4 to 12/10
A new weekly feature here!
We will be talking about the top three stories of each week. We will also have a bit of a lottery so feel free to bet.
Lottery: The top three numbers from 1 to 3.
Here we go: 3...1...2...
Check your tickets. Hope you won.
The Top Three Stories:
3). Cain drops out. So, we went from 9,9,9 to sexual harassment allegations to an alleged 13-year affair and the Godfather pizza mogul couldn't stand the heat so he had to get out of the kitchen.
Here's a scoop: I wouldn't have voted for him, but I'll miss the comedy.
2). King Albert Signs. $254 million dollars. Think of it. You have been working since you turned 15 or 16, right? Some years have been better than others. Some days you're the windshield and some days you're the bug.
Most likely, in all those years, including all the money you've earned in every possible scenario, you probably haven't yet approached earning a mil, certainly not more than a couple mil, right? 3 mil? 4 mil?
Can you imagine?
It's a real damn shame that I couldn't hit a fastball, couldn't run the bases without falling down, and usually cowered when a ground ball was hit sharply.
I was so close.
1). Sandusky Arrested. Of course, the top story is that this creep spent a whole night in jail before he was released on $250,000 bail.
How does that happen? Let's research some of those types of cases for the normal citizen-folk. What do you think the average bail was set at?
Yep...millions. You'd need Albert to bail you out if you weren't a celebrity of sorts. I really don't know what Penn State or the courts in that neighborhood are thinking here. How many more embarrassing moments are still ahead? And Sandusky's wife came to his defense. There was a story that she was upstairs listening to the screaming during one of the attacks, and she turned a deaf ear.
Lots of deaf ears in that there neighborhood. It still makes me physically ill. She should go to jail too, along with JoePa and the rest of those creepy bastards.
And our top 3 people of the week of December 04 through December 10?
3). My friend, Kim Kurek. Kim not only had her birthday this week, but she also continued to show considerable heart in sending a gift that will go directly to Jeff and Lynn's kids for Christmas. Her generosity of spirit is thrilling in a day and age when every single thing I read seems to be the result of horrific behavior.
Sorry, Kim...don't want to embarrass you, but when people live their lives wondering how they helped others, they have a fulfilling existence. The other two people on this week's list do it the same way.
2). My sister Corinne. Check her blog from 12/06. Happy Birthday. Said it all there for her. She is the Queen. How in the hell did she finish #2????
1). Walt Gier. The town where I grew up was an awful lot like Mayberry. We all know and love one another. We all hung out. We all had fun. There were fights and arguments, to be sure, but when one family suffers, we all suffer. Walt was a good man. A family man. A hardworking man. He passed away this week, and I stumbled out to the worst place in the world...the funeral home in North Collins...to say goodbye.
I feel better saying goodbye here. Rest, Walt, you earned it.
The weekly top 3 will run every Sunday morning.
Let me know of things that might be of interest.
I will read everything and compile the list.
