Alright, gotta get a post up here

Okay, so there has been a drought of blogging lately, which is totally not fun, I'm not sure how much entertainment value I can provide in this particular post, but I'll try to get everybody at least caught up on all events (kind of an ambitious goal eh?). 
 
So, this past weekend took a trip down to the hometown for some fishing and entertainment, succeeded in finding entertainment, fishing was a slight bust however, wind pretty much killed our big trip out on the river about 3 hours in.  We did salvage things a little bit with some pond fishing back at the ranch, but a 1lb bass can hardly compare to a 7' sturgeon. 
 
I got to check back in on Yakima on my way back and believe it or not, still rather depressing down there.  We stopped to get gas @ the 7-11 off the interstate and it was a scratch ticket bonanza.  I'm not paid to be a social scientist, but I would say there is some correlation between scratch ticket sales and the 1st of the month, when all the government aid checks come rolling into town.  To quote Trailer Park Boys "That's how the government gets its money back".  So damn true.
 
So, weekend, fishing, was a semi-bust, but I got to see developments around the old stomping grounds. Oh, and the huskies got their asses handed to them again, as has been the case all season. 
 
Also, in case you haven't heard, there is some sort of chew-gate going on re: sideline shots of Jake Locker apparently with a wad of chewing tobacco in. Since there isn't much point in discussing if UW might win a game anymore, the more rabid fans are now debating what exactly was in Jake Locker's mouth - chew vs gum vs sunflower seeds.  Looked like chew to me, but what do I know, I'm just some dude on the internet, I think you need paid professionals for this type of serious analysis.
 
To wrap it all up, work is borderline crazy right now, especially when your hours are constrained and your workload isn't. I'm supposed to develop productivity tools to help decrease the time, but the catch 22 is that I don't have time to develop those tools.  Hmm , what to do?
 
Oh, and finally, I launched a new blog, in face of the results from my post about CL scammers, you can check out amibeingscammed.blogspot.com to determine if you, in fact, are being scammed.  Check it out.
 
Peace

Ah, yes, the scratch tickets...the allure of $3 turning into $5000 instantly. And the instant part of the equation is key since it preys on those people who already have little sense of delayed gratification.
