Wide awake in the wee hours of the morning, I saw an ad on ESPN for "Predator Week" on the National Geographic Channel. (huh?) The first line, delivered in segments with appropriate video footage for each: "There are two kinds of animals that hide - the smart...and the hungry." (That last segment was accompanied by video of a lion crouching in the grass.)
So many commercials are so inane it's nice to hear great copy.
And at oh-dark-thirty my preacher brain grabbed ahold of that line and morphed it.
"There are two kinds of people who hide - the guilty...and the humble."
I did indeed finish our fantasy league regular season in fourth place, with the same W/L record as the third place team but slightly behind in points. This weekend I'll play the first place team and according to Yahoo I'm favored to win by two points. That would give me a feeling of optimism if I hadn't lost games this season where I was favored by 15 points or more.
FWIW, I'm in total agreement with the comments left to last night's post about the hassle of that annoying code required before a comment can be left. That's a feature blogspot.com uses which can't be turned off. (I've tried.) I just used the "feedback" feature to send them a message to that effect. In the process I learned that blogspot is owned by Yahoo.
I've been following the dustup in MI over the right to work legislation working its way through the legislature there. Twenty three of the states are currently right to work states, and that surprises me. As in, why aren't all 50?
I think unions have a place, a legitimate role to play. The brutal coal mines and sweat shops of the early 1900's would still exist if it wasn't for unions. But the pendulum long ago swung the other way and unions became too powerful for their own good. Right to work laws seem to reestablish some equilibrium. They also seem to make sense in a state where the unemployment rate remains well above the national average and auto companies continue to move factories to southern states that are...yep, right to work states.
Tomorrow is 12/12/12 and up in Sedona, which is a haven for all things New Age, they're planning special mystical observances. It's the last day like it in this century which means I won't be around for the next one. I'm thinkin' I should do something to mark the occasion. Maybe have two brownies at 12:12 p.m.?

The solution to that annoying code... Don't leave comments.
Another issue with the code: It says: Type the two words:" and yet (a) the code always involves digits (at the beginning or at the end) and digits aren't words, and (b) the letters involved do not spell words, they're just characters. Somebody at Yahoo/Blogspot needs an edumacation.
In Wisconsin, 12-12-12 is Aaron Rodgers' Day. ;)
