Beets a poem

Eat the beets before they dry.
Beets are not sweet from the can,add sugar and vinegar
Who fights for the last slice on the plate, everybody.
Would you drink the juice,if you are hungry,if you thirst.

Phillies Should Remember The Whiz Kids First!

1950philsmob

What you see here is a picture taken in October 1950.Its a picture of the Phillies swamping then pitcher Robin Roberts after he beat the Brooklyn

Dodgers in the final game of 1950 season.Thats right its not the playoffs.In 1950 you had to win the National League to get into the World Series. Some will tell you that it was easier to win the National League back then win the playoffs now.I believe that the eight team league was maybe tougher to win then beating todays playoff setup.

What I really want to say is that I believe that Philadelphia should celebrate the remaining members of that Whiz Kid team because they went on to be beaten in four straight by the very great 1950 Yankee team.Just think of bringing the remaining Kids back before the packed Citizens Bank Park crowd many of whom might not know them.They know which of that great team ended up in the Hall of Fame and they understand numbers.The biggest number is that it was he first Phillies appearance in the classic since 1917.

Bring them back Phillies before they are all gone.

Rays Now In Wilmington!

Well here is an interesting development! The Tampa Bay Rays are now staying at the Hote Dupont or whatever those French people call hotels. With the rain in force in this area(we do need iT) the Rays were forced to re book in my town in Wilmington De.I assume that Major League Baseball has priorities with the quality of the hotels that their teams stay in.Clean bathrooms,dry beds ect.Philly only has a few multi star facilities so the Rays were forced to move 30 miles south to the Hotel Dupont. Now don't worry Rays it is supposed to be a first class joint and I am sure they will help fill your every need.Its a real hotel.If you dont like that you can always go to the Airport Quality Inn were all the minor league teams stay.

Phillies-They might Get It In

PHILLIES-755414

Well the Phillies game last night was not rained out(during the regular season the Phillies would have won because it was a official game)but suspended. The game is scheduled to continue tonight.I did see a weather report on TV were the weather woman said the rain would be out of the area by 7:00pm just in the time for the game to continue.Who pitches?Will the field be in good shape?Who knows.Only Phillies fans get this kind of stuff in their playoff games.Hopefully the game will continue and the Phils will get a lead by the time this thing is over.

Phillies!!!!

hello

Right now I am watching the Phils hoping that they win their second World Series

Tough Times!

Well I really feel stressed today with the markets acting down and I happen to work for a bank.I have to think that i could lose my job any day now. now that's not unusual for people in banking but it really is bad today.Banking is the target of bad decisions,congress,the Fed and anyone who now has an unpaid mortgage or bad credit card debt.You would think that that was everyone today with all of the bad news we see in the media.

Now despite tons of wisdom and history behind them bankers constantly make the same mistakes and we have plenty of customers willing to do the same thing. i have lived with these mistakes my entire time working for banks and it seems that every ten or twenty years these mistakes jam up the banking system and ruin many many lives.

I say that when this is over we should insist that kids get a proper education on saving and discreet use of credit.
In fact I would go so far as to make sure that new banking customers receive,actually be made to take a course in correct use of credit and proper savings techniques.In other words,you either take the course or you do not become a customer of the bank.Believe me a little more tough love and we do not have these problems we see today.

Dont Believe Those Walmart Ads

If you ever watch a Walmart ad on TV don't believe them. At least don't believe the looks of the people in the ads. White middle class looking individuals who live in attractive neighborhoods and suburbs.I visit the parking lot of a Walmart  store in my hometown and most of the people I see entering the store(at 10:00pm)are far from healthy looking young white suburbanites.They are generally minorities .Walking through a trash heap with more shopping carts left in the parking lot then the local Acme has for its entire store see young Hispanics and Blacks carrying little babies. I think that no Walmart or any kind of store should be open on a Sunday night at 10:00pm(they close at 11:00pm)for any kind of shopping.I figure that many shoppers in the store are up to no good and that the parking lot remindes me of what the USA will look like in less than 50 years.I hope that someone with authority will see that this store closes at 9:00pm so that people will be home at night with their children in bed instreadf of shopping.
