@JC: You're saying your company cannot find enough people to work in the Detroit area ... Really.

Wow that's crazy! Is it a highly skilled job and they're only looking for experienced operators?

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. The weather was crappy yesterday, hot and steamy according to Mary Lou. It didn't seem all that terrible to Gary, not hot enough for the A/C, but Mary Lou complained. Some immeasurable rain fell. Mary Lou said she walked out of one side of her building and it was wet and rainy, she walked out the other side and it was perfectly dry. She works in a school and the building is two classrooms wide. Mary Lou and Gary returned to that newly discovered Japanese Resturant around the corner. Gary wanted to walk, but Mary Lou insisted on driving because she had a long day filled with KenC meeting all day long, she was tired and didn't want to fight the high humidity. Mary Lou had Popcorn Shrimp and an Avocado Roll, Gary had a Alaska Roll complete with free ice cream. The Avocado Roll was quite good and refreshing.

Then home for some cable news and talking heads on the presidential election, some wine and rounding out the evening with The Voice. The wine was good.

Also ended my evening with wine and The Voice. Thought Miley was a breath of fresh air but found Alicia Keys to be a bit annoying which surprised me because I love her music. The antics of Blake and Adam are getting tired. The voice on that medical device salesman was phenomenal. Based on his video I was expecting him to be horrible.

PS- On the sports front:
Dodgers beat SF last night extending their lead. Gary and Mary Lou have tickets for Vin Scully night on Friday.
Kershaw is back ... almost.
Trojans are dumping their Q-back ... two games too late.
Parking for the Rams' Coliseum comeback game was as high as $180 within a half mile of the stadium and up to $1000 per space online. (The $1000 spaces are on the 50 yard line.)

What did the sales guy sing? I remember the songs but not the faces? I enjoyed Levine climbing up on stage and singing 'The Way You Look Tonight' as duet with the contestant.

If you ever run across Hangar 24 Orange-Wheat Beer, grab a six-pack. Good stuff.

'On the sports front'.....Stand Up!
35 yrs ago, my coworkers husband was in the Navy. They were getting 'shore leave/stop' in Greece I believe. They gave them the whole speech about time to be back, behavior, etc, and DO NOT touch their flag.
Well the ship left the next morning without 3 of them because they wanted a souvenir...just say in'

It's currently POURING rain here at Cape Cod. And I have a dentist appt to go to...

Sports front? Ok. My beloved Red Sox are sporting a 4 game lead over Baltimore and Toronto in the AL East after sweeping the Evil Empire all but out of the galaxy over the weekend. The Empire will try to strike back next week. The first order of business for the resistance will be to awaken the forces of good.

Have on a replay of last night's World Cup game, then there's a live game at 3 and another tonight. No such thing as too much hockey.

But I'm not getting much done, and am (supposed to be) doing an online class (but am way behind) just for fun/'personal enrichment' thru TCM on slapstick comedy.
