Come Counsell — 2nd inning in a row with a runner at 3rd w/less than 2 outs and you can’t score! I bet the Brewers lead the league in that category. Try something different: hit and run or bunt! You are playing for the big inning & your team cannot do that often enough to win.

Struggling with the ideology that tolerating everything in our culture is really loving others. Tolerance at any cost produces a level of individualism that gradually erodes communities or societies. It will evolve into anarchy — everyone doing what they think is right. Sad!

Becky was a great colleague. She was brilliant, insightful and compassionate. She didn’t waste words or your time. She was a terrific leader and problem -solver. She was my friend. I will miss her. We will all miss her! Our thoughts and prayers are with Hanns and the family.

Sorry but the Badger football team is starting to look like the did are “before Barry.” Sad, embarrassing, and very disappointing. Not prepared, over confident and lacking on field leadership!

When will the Brewers learn that walking lead off hitters in an inning will get you just about every time! Come on coaches this is embarrassing and can be fixed!

New York Times, “We’re going to have to legislate real guardrails …… on social media platforms that are too big to entrust democracy to.” Haven’t we always entrusted democracy to something too big to entrust democracy to including The NY Times and the Washington Post?

IMF Director sums it up:
- We printed too much money and didn’t think of unintended consequences
- We are acting like 8 year olds playing soccer chasing the ball

At 8% yearly inflation:
After 9 years, a $1,000,000 retirement/pension, will only have $472K in purchasing power.
The real inflation rate (measured by 1990s rules) is closer to 15%. In 9 years that $1Mil becomes $213K
People don’t understand how much they are being robbed.
