“WHAT THE HECK?”

Today’s rant is brought to you by, whatever: beer, chips, wings, etc. about the  NFL standings! What is going on nowadays? The top teams who have brought us great pride have fell off and the so-so “fumble-squad” are on the “up-n-up.

Going over the NFL STANDINGS is a sad disappointment; as a long time NEW YORK GIANTS FAN, I usually start watching the standings around this time of the year and what I am seeing is the rise of a few good teams who are doing the job at hand, playing great football. The following have great standings: Cincinnati Bengal, Denver Broncos, and Arizona Cardinals, all have 8 wins with 2 losses. Then there are those usual suspects New England Patriots with 11 wins and 0 losses which bring me to my issue of the CAROLINA PANTHERS 11 wins and 0 losses!! Kudos, to Cam Newton and team who have been playing great for the past few years in this football season. The fans of the Panthers are true die hard and support the team throughout the years and this year the Panthers have not let them down.

Maybe this is the year [again] when the “low” teams are up, and the “up” teams are down. Every few years, to me, this seems like this happens. Never the less it is football season and I crank my volume ALL THE WAY UP as if I’m at the stadium somewhere.

The New England Patriots and the Carolina Panthers will meet up in

TO OUR VETERANS PAST AND PRESENT, WE SOLUTE YOU!

PSA#125

So, I’m trying to understand this ISO week numbering system. This where every week has a number to it each year where depending upon where you live the week starts on a Sunday [United States] or Monday [Europe 8601] or Islamic [Saturday]. To my not understanding there are systems in place that I had no idea about and I want to talk about one in particular: Tires.

There always talk about the tires on your car and how much safety depends on the wear and tear of the tires. This brings me to the “Birthday” of my tires, who knew I should be concerned? Not the date you purchased them, but the actual manufactured “Birthdate” of my tires.

Which brings me to getting another wrinkle in my brain; when you learn something you get a new wrinkle in your brain. My dad said one should get a wrinkle every day. I learned this week is the 45^th week of this year.

 Soo, if a tire is stamped 4505 on the side this means the 45^th week of 2005 the tire was manufactured, and you are riding with your life at stake.

My suggestion today is to find out exactly when your tires were manufactured.

Top 10 Largest Cruise Ships in the World 2015

Making Plans

I am sitting here watching television seeing the advertisements about cruise ships and what they want to offer you. I am not a swimmer no a big fan of pools of any kind, it struck me when I saw how people were enjoying the water, on the water, in the water. One can pay thousands of dollars in air fare to get a room, then over eat daily, exercise a little, gamble maybe, drinks of your choice repeat this tomorrow. I would guess this is a billion dollar industry seeing how my country is one of the richest, laziest in the world. You see all of the “beautiful”, skinny people in the commercials while hoping to capture some of the joy and fun when you arrive on your cruise. From the looks of the disasters that occur in the news when they happen, there are no “beautiful” skinny people on board with the wide smiles.

I will soon “bite-the-bullet” and take my first cruise next year. I have my discomforts and my reservation as only I can imagine [with pirates] but I am looking forward to celebrating our girlfriend’s 50^th birthday celebration aboard one these cruises. I am so excited and apprehensive about the experience. I can just scratch this off of my bucket list when I get back. If you have any suggestions or pointers, please feel free to share.

I will keep you posted.
