SUNSHINE ON A CLOUDY DAY



December 17, 2016

Idea..   "SING"  the animated musical with singing, dancing and criminal animals who live in a town that is all animals!  What an idea.. A Gem of an idea.  
 ///

I so resent the military using college football to recruit kids into the ranks.  A woman general with three stars on her shoulders and fruit salad and other jewelry chats with the on field reporter. evidently the Air Force Reserve sponsors the 'celebration' bowl.  I won't capitalize it. NC Central vs Grambling.  All black teams.  Segregation is alive and well.. Played in Atlanta's Georgia Dome.   Cannon Fodder for the conflicts that, should the orangeman actually be installed, are inevitable.  brrr.

The ads for this game!  A very, very, very expensive commercial for the AF Reserve itself. Notably, the pilots in the zillion dollar jet planes are white. The techs are white. There is one image of five men walking away from a plane. One is black.  Few women are featured.  I wonder what the cost of the flyover by the Air Force jets cost?  Do they do an actuarial that figures out how many kids they recruit for what cost per recruit?  Thousands, at least. 

The up side is that these college players have a ton of heart and I hope they wind up in the colors of the NFL and not in air force blues. 

The kicker for the NC Central team is a white kid! Long blonde hair.  Missed the FG attempt.  A huge kid, #54 gets a personal foul for attacking another guy after the play was over.   The kids are fired up, for sure.

The chayote flipped itself to the floor again last night.  As the anniversary of the Porch Project is now five days away, I'll retire the chayote on that day, too.
