The Nationals managed to lose the last 5 games of the year to cement their place in the cellar of the division. :)


Could be worse.  We could still be Baltimore fans.  B'more managed to finish tied for dead last with the Diamondbacks with a 52-110 record which is .321 win percentage.  Ooh-Fah.


Zimmerman looks to be done.  Glad he got to win a series here.  Been with the Nats his whole career which is pretty rare these days.

Beer & the Wheel:

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel       
Beer required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture.       

Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.       

The wheel was invented to get man to the beer and vice versa. These two were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:
  • Liberals.    2. Conservatives.
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.       

Other men who were less skilled at hunting (called 'vegetarians' which was an early indian word meaning 'bad hunter') learned to live off the Conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQ's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hairdressing. This was the beginning of the liberal movement.       

Some of these liberal men “evolved” into women. Others became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that Conservatives provided.         

Over the years Conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass for obvious reasons.

Modern Liberals like special flavored beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine spritzers or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: many liberal women have higher testosterone levels than their men.         

Most college professors, social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, film makers in Hollywood, group therapists and community organizers are liberals. Liberals meddled in our national pastime and invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink real beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are members of the military, big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, airline pilots, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other Conservatives who want to work for a living.         

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when Conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.

Here ends today's lesson in world history. It should be noted that a liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to this post.         

A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be shared immediately to other true believers and also to just irritate a bunch of liberals.         

And there you have it. Let your next action reveal your true self, I'm going to grab a few beers and grill some steaks! Right after I forward this message.

Beer & the Wheel:


Funny.  I copied and pasted to send this in an email and my spell checker (who must be a liberal) wanted to capitalize indian.  I am not all that great at grammar, but should it be capitalized when it's an adjective?


I get it if you are talking about a race as American Indian, but what about indian moccasins?  And to take it further, would you capitalize the English if used as an adjective like english language?  What about brussels sprouts?  What about french fries?
And I suppose to be PC....it should be Native American Indian... I am assuming so liberatards don't confuse them with peoples from India who immigrated to America.

Nine perimeter folks to my immediate household tested positive for Covid in the last two weeks.
My son's girlfriend and both her parents have Covid.  None of these three are "vaccinated."  It was the mom first (Christmas eve, who is now recovered, then the dad, then the daughter (the girlfriend).  They got it from one of the other sisters (who does not live at home, but Mom babysits their baby).  Mom was the sickest but by no means ever in any danger or any symptoms beyond normal cold or "regular" flu.  Dad had aches and fever - bad backaches.  Daughter (21 years old - the girfriend to my son) had mild stuffy head symptoms but no never fever or aches.  She had mild symptoms for about 4 days but now cleared up.  The mom and dad are early-mid 50's.


My daughter in law, (30 years old) has had all her vaccines and boosters and now COvid for the 2nd time in the past...year.  She is currently somewhat miserable with flu like symptoms, but nothing dangerous at this point.  Her 5 year old (my grandson) does not have it, but the 5 month old baby does.  But then, I would think it would be difficult for a breastfeeding infant not to get it (or any other illness) from mom.  Dad (also vaxed) does not have it (nor did he get it the last time).  My daughter in law thinks she got it from her best friend who she sees daily.  Best friend, her husband and their 9 year old ALL have Covid.  The parents are vaxed, 9 year old not.


My wife and one son (not vaxed) had Covid last Christmas...which they got from his girlfriend.  Myself and the other two sons all in the same household did NOT get it, despite living together and sharing space.  We are not careless about protocols, but we live our lives pretty much as normal as society permits.  (Okay...three boys aged 18, 20, 20, so ....TWO of them are completely careless about protocols an one somewhat careful)


I am not trying to generate a political statement or create an argument, or draw any country-wide statistic from this, only stating how the actual Covid illness (not the REACTION TO Covid) has affected my immediate family....because I know all yuns care about us so much  8)


Also, a business associate of mine - his whole family of 5 had covid starting around Christmas day.  THey are all vaxed.  None of them were too badly sick. 


Anyway, my ingnorant and arrogant stance on this is....Covid affects different people differently and is a greater threat to some than others  (JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER DISEASE known to man).  The two in my household who have had Covid are the two who are sick or get illnesses most often in the last 15 years.  The other three of us are very rarely sick with even a cold and 2/3 have never ever had the flu.  (I had it 20+ years ago)   I don't get the (regular) flu vaccine because I don't think it is necessary for me.  My daughter in law who has now had Covid twice, despite being fully vaxed, is sick ALL the time.  SHe always gets colds, etc.


Maybe some have better immune systems than others.  Maybe cause as kids we went to public schools in Fairfax County were all exposed to each others illnesses and developed our immune systems properly.  (not to mention they actually taught real school subjects back then too)


I believe people need to (and should be allowed to) weigh the risks based on their own situations and decide for themselves what is the best course of action for them.  I don't think we should be cavalier about this or disregard others' situations which WE will certainly impact with our actions, but that goes with just about every aspect of life.  I don't feel I should judge others for them what is right for them and dictate how they should act, but then I don't believe anyone but me can decide what is right for me.  Everyone's situation is different so you have to treat each differently.


Good heavens...how long til the next Cap game.


Go Caps.

I distinctly remember back in 2019 the “professionals” were telling us that millions likely had gotten the wuhan flu and not known it because of mild to very mild symptoms thus thinking in was the normal influenza

and you are the only one I’ve personally met that has had the cobid in their family

from what I’ve read, for the vast majority it’s no worse than the normal flu, there are outliers for everything


hope everyone is feeling better for the game on Friday
