The days after Friday

On Thursday night something major will happen, whether it be aliens invading or blowing up earth, a huge super-storm, the sun blowing up, the moon breaking into millions of pieces, or a nuclear war, none of us are going to live through Friday. We must prepare ourselves to say our goodbyes, and we need to be ready for the other side. If by some divine miracle none of these things happen and I am talking to you about this in class on Friday, then my prediction for things to come next year is that Lovie Smith and Mike Tice are going to be replaced, because they don't understand that your can't run the ball up the middle when your offensive line can't block. If we do get to read this I'm going to sound like a major idiot, but whatever.

Gas Prices going down?

In the last 3 weeks the price of gas has dropped 10 cents. For a regular tank of gas the price is about $3.38. The lowest recorded gas price in the nation is $3.04, that is pretty low considering the time period that we are in, and gas was well over $4 at one point. In California that lowest average for gas is $3.42, the highest bring $3.73. I would like to call this a good sign for everyone that drives a car, because gas can be a lot of money, in about a month of driving to school and work I spend around $35 a week. Let's hope that the prices keep dropping.

Brewer's not dedicated enough?

The Brewers have officially given up on Manny Parra. Over the weekend they didn't tender his contract, and for the first time in over 10 years the great Manny Parra is a free agent. The Brewers tender 4 contracts over the weekend, but decided to overlook Parra, that could mean the end for the Brewers bullpen. The Brewers drafted Manny Parra and kept him until now, he wasn't really the Brewers best pitcher, but he got the job done out of the pen. He had some struggles throughout his career with the Brewers, but for now its done. After all the small talk and what not Doug Melvin said that Parra would be best fit in a starting role, for now the Brewers aren't signing Parra, but they are most likely going to have to, we need a lefty. I could almost guarantee a 20-0 season.

Bald eagle saved!

Recently a bald eagle has been rescued by the New Hampshire police. It was found by two hunter early Last Thursday morning. The police sergeant that rescued the poor animal claims that in his 41 years on the job he has never seen a bald eagle in the wild. When he arrived to the scene, the eagle was caught in a snap-like trap, and he carefully released the animal. Luckily for the eagle it wasn't harmed and flew away safely. There was also the skinned carcass of a beaver in the trap. They are guessing that attracted the eagle. Good thing this wasn't a turkey, otherwise he would've been dinner.

2 dead and multiple houses destroyed

Recently in Indiana there was an unexplainable blast, this blast damaged around 80 homes, 31 of those homes are going to have to be torn down. It came late in the night, a lot of people were sleeping, a blast that people could hear from 3 miles away. A blast that is going to cost almost $4 million dollars, the blast blew in doors, and shattered windows. Two houses were completely burned down. Right now no one really knows what caused this, there were no calls about rotten egg smells, the idea of a meth lab or a bomb has already been ruled out. The worst part about this is that for most of these people, they are never going to be able to return to their homes, and their homes are going to be demolished. We are very lucky that only 2 people died in this mysterious explosion, their names have not been released.

Problems with drinking?

Recently a couple of top ranked officers and a commander decide to make an intoxicated stop in Russia. Just because you were in Russia doesn't mean you're not going to get caught. They were all pretty drunk, and were discharged from the navy because of "poor leadership". The commander of the ship and the ship's chief engineer were relieved on "personal conduct involving use of alcohol". To lower ranked officers were relieved as well. Their names weren't released because their rank isn't high enough to be considered public. The navy's Facebook posted on their page and said that their officers are looking forward to meeting new friends, and see what the city has to offer, apparently it has to offer alcohol! They will all be reassigned to in San Diego where they will be waiting for administrative actions.
