Ohio

From a mechanic friend of mine: the new state highway patrol Dodge Durango pursuit SUVs all have oil cooler problems and they will absolutely roach an engine in this heat...so go ahead, you got 'em

Tonight!!! The Cleveland monsters look to become only the 4th team in history to accomplish a reverse sweep. Once down to the Hershey bears 3-0, the series is now tied 3-3 in a best of 7 series. With the winner of tonights game going on to face the Coachella Valley Firebirds this Friday at game 1 of the Calder Cup Series. The monsters in 2016, then known as the Lake Erie Monsters last won the Calder Cup in 2016, sweeping the Hershey Bears 4-0.

Tonight, they battle the Hershey bears once again, this time in a game 7 to advance to the Calder Cup. Game starts at 7pm from Hershey PA, but can be watched on WUAB Channel 43 at 7pm.

GO MONSTERS!!!

So I had to travel across Ohio yesterday to pick someone up unexpectedly. The person I had to pick up was waiting at one of those Love's gas stations and I need to put some gas in the car to have enough to return home. I have a sedan and put in about $30 worth. I check my credit card online to plan how much I need to set aside to pay off my credit cards and they placed a $175 hold for that $30 purchase of fuel. This post is to warn everyone else about these holds. There is a class action lawsuit on this as well.

Woman Allegedly Stabs 3-year-old Boy to Death in Random Attack at Grocery Store Parking Lot

"allegedly"

With all the National Guard surrounding many university campuses nationwide, it came to mind how potentially similar outcomes could be to the infamous day on the Kent State University grounds…and wouldn't you know it?, the incident happened 54 years ago today!

Today in History: On May 4, 1970, Ohio National Guardsmen opened fire during an anti-war protest at Kent State University, killing four students and wounding nine others.

The confrontation, sometimes referred to as the May 4 massacre, was a defining moment for a nation sharply divided over the protracted war, in which more than 58,000 Americans died. It sparked a strike of 4 million students across the U.S., temporarily closing some 900 colleges and universities. The events also played a pivotal role, historians argue, in turning public opinion against the conflicts in Southeast Asia.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Ohio’s largest newspaper, called editorially for “an immediate investigation and prompt steps to prevent a recurrence of the most tragic campus violence ever in the United States. […] “Many questions will have to be answered: Why were these people shot? Who shot first? How could these deaths have been avoided?

Let's all cross our fingers that history doesn't repeat itself.

Remember…Parma spelled backwards is AMRAP!

Citizens of the State of Ohio,

Today there will be a solar eclipse, an astronomical event where the Moon will pass in front of the Sun. Yes, during the day. While in most of Ohio it will be a partial eclipse, in that the Moon will leave a small slice of the Sun visible, in some parts of Ohio the Moon will totally block the Sun.

The important thing to remember is DON'T PANIC. Things to remember while the solar eclipse is happening:

• It is not a sign or an omen of any kind. Eclipses are a normal part of astronomical events and have no "hidden meaning" in themselves. The sky will not come crashing down nor are "the gods" displeased about anything.
• The eclipse has absolutely nothing to do with the upcoming Presidential election.
• The ensuing darkness is not permanent. The solar eclipse will end after a short period of time.
  • There may also be a slight drop in temperature. This too is not permanent and will also pass. There is no need for Coleman lanterns, portable generators or any survival gear you may have on hand.
• It is not a threat from any foreign agent. Unlike airborne chem trails, citizens can stay calm knowing that the Moon is an American territory.
• As the effects from an eclipse are temporary, there is no need whatsoever for the following:
  • Human/animal sacrifice
  • Firearms, automatic or semi-automatic weapons, nor missile launchers, bazookas, grenades, or other military-grade weaponry you most certainly don't have stockpiled under Uncle Cletus' storm shelter. The Moon is too far away to hit, anyway.
  • Banging drums, setting off fireworks or any general noisemaking to "scare the Moon away"

All kidding aside, Ohioans…

An essential thing to remember is never look directly at an eclipse as it may cause serious and irrreparable damage to your eyes. If you're not already sick to death of hearing about this furshlugginer eclipse already, Wayne State University, here in Detroit, has a guide about viewing the eclipse today.

Scratch glass, turn blue, stay sick and remember, Parma spelled backwards is…

Love,
