Packers 7, Bears 35
What a disappointing game. Nothing looked good on offense, defense or special teams. Let's all hope this was a fluke but sure doesn't seem that way lately.
Pun-tacular!
Thought you might laugh!
The ability to Make and Understand Puns Is the Highest Level of
Language Development. Here are the ten first place winners in the
International Pun Contest:
1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The
stewardess looks at him and says, “I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion
allowed per passenger.”
2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. One turns to the other and
says 'Dam!'
3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire
in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you
can't have your kayak and heat it too.
4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, 'I've lost my Electron.'
The other says 'Are you sure?' The first replies, 'Yes, I'm
positive.'
5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a
root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.
6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were
standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament
victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office
and asked them to disperse. 'But why?', they asked, as they moved
off. 'Because,' he said,' I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an
open foyer.'
7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them
goes to Spain , they name him 'Juan'; the other went to a family in
Egypt and is named 'Ahmal.' Years later, Juan sends a picture of
himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells
her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her
husband responds, 'They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen
Ahmal.'
8. A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so
they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone
liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across
town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good
fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged
the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist
hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town
to 'persuade' them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed
their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop.
Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent
florist friars.
9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time,
which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also
ate very little, which made him rather frail, and with his odd
diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him (Oh, man, this is
so bad, it's good) a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by
halitosis.
10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns
to friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make
them laugh. No pun in ten did.

We All Sure Hope that Abbott Builds and Soon
From Kenosha News "Pollocoff said having the $1.5 billion complex built in the village would be a good return on the $6 million to $8 million investment. The village already has spent $17 million to obtain blighted properties and install some sewer and water lines up to the Abbott tract." 20 years or less to pay off bonds is a long time and a lot of interest but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. We've heard many times it won't cost the taxpayers any money and I sure hope so. How much money did Village invest in Lakeview Corporate Park and what has been the payoff? I think we should see these numbers as it would help people understand what this type of investment has done in the past and what it can do in the future. Village really needs to get the Kenosha News behind it if they want to keep rolling along unscathed. Why the short meeting notice? If they could wait this long, what's another couple of weeks? Let's put it all in the open now.

UW-Whitewater Wins National Championship!
Congratulations to the Warhawks. 31-21 winners over Mount Union Purple Raiders. The third time was a charm. Nice job and way to show class. No personal fouls versus the three MU received.

Bain Station Road Railroad Crossing
I take it that the meeting with the Railroad Commissioner didn't go well last week since the Village is requesting residents to call and write the Railroad Commissioner:

I think it is a good idea. In fact, I think the Village (and you) should request that some of the lesser used railroad tracks be turned over to the Village/County and converted into bike trails. Works both ways doesn't it?
