It's a crazy, crazy world

I hope all is well back home. I figured I'd give you all an update on our last game and some other crazy experiences I've had lately. We lost again on the road. We just can't seem to get clicking together at the same time. We didn't give up that many points (in the 70s) but we just couldn't find a way to get the ball to fall - frustrating, but there are still five games left until playoffs start so we are still in the hunt. Tomorrow night we have a home game against one of the top teams in our league so it will be a good match for us.

There have been some interesting--to say the least--events I would like to share. First is when we were in the train station a couple weeks ago. I was walking to the bathroom through a crowd of people sitting down waiting for the train when I happen to look over at this woman breastfeeding. On a side note I should add that there was a lady outside the bathroom wanting me to pay to use the facilities even though I just wanted to get some water to wipe something off my pants. She got a little upset when I didn't pay, but it seriously only took 15 seconds) I had to double-take because this woman did not have anything covering her whatsoever. The baby was just going to town. It was just shocking because in the states women, well most I would think, at least put a blanket, shirt, anything to cover up when they are breastfeeding. Nope, not over here. This woman seemed completely fine without a cover-up while strangers were sitting right next to her. I told Tyronn what I saw and he said, "Man stop messing with me." I told him that I can't make up stuff like that. Wow...

Another event happened on our last road trip. It was on our ride home on the bus when the bus driver slammed on his brakes to find out he was a little too late to miss the deer that jumped out in front of us. That's not the crazy thing though. We stop and the bus driver proceeds to get out a garbage bag and take the deer with us. Okay, I know that it wouldn't seem crazy to us who live in Wisconsin for someone to throw a deer we hit in the back of a pickup truck, but it was just strange coming from our bus driver who clearly didn't have a pickup truck at his disposal at the time of the hitting. I just had to laugh a little bit and think well is he going to put it up top with us or down below with our bags. He put it down below just to let you know. But he wasn't going to escape some free venison.

I just had to share those with you and hopefully you got a chuckle out of it. It sure is a different world over here.

Take care and God bless.

  1. Mike, you should see if he could make some venison summer sausage for you, or at least some jerky.
