Thursday Thoughts

I am still fighting the respiratory infection but fortunately called my doctor on Monday and received some antibiotics. So far I am coughing less and feeling much better except for the side effects of the antibiotic.....

Today starts the annual Anthrocon convention in Pittsburgh. For those of you who are unaware of Anthrocon, it is a group of individuals who like to dress up in animal costumes..... just imagine a few hundred sports team mascots descending on your city. I'm pretty open minded so whatever floats your boat, they're not hurting anyone and it brings money into the city.

In sports, Sidney Crosby won the Mark Messier Leadership Award but was screwed out of the Hart trophy.... If it was up to me most awards would be won by the Penguins.

The always predictable Pittsburgh Pirates lost to the Texas Rangers 13 to 3....... I love AA ball lol

Gen. Stanley McChrystal had to resign his command in Afghanistan after the story broke in Rolling Stone magazine.... as the son of a general and a lifetime spent in the military I would like to ask the General what were you thinking?

Rule number one never talk to the press, never allow the press to be embedded with you during war. Rule number two, chain of command.... Gen.'s report to Presidents.

Never make your boss look like an ass in the press. If I was Pres. Obama I would have fired the General too.... what's your opinion?

I'm glad you are feeling better. As to the general, he deserves a sacking...Take care.
