My Picks for This Weekend's Wild Card Games

They did their four football predictions on the Gary and Shannon show today.  My fear is that the Rams and Atlanta game might not even be shown.  They just keep talking about the Chiefs and the Titans.  I pick the Tennessee Titans over the KC Chiefs for the afternoon game.   I am picking the Rams to easily handle Atlanta in the evening game.  I am picking the NO Saints over the Carolina Panthers, and I'm picking Jacksonville to beat the Buffalo Bills.   We'll see who's right in these picks beginning tomorrow.  

The following was typed yesterday

Steve Bannon has a new book on President Trump called “Fire and Fury” after his North Korea speech.   It’s a real hatchet job in the Kitty Kelly tradition.  It’s a “tell all” book.   The author of the book was given free rein to ask anybody any question he wanted to at the White House with no questions about security clearance.  I don’t see why he did it.  I thought they were friends.  He said dealing with President Trump was like dealing with a child in that it was a chore to figure out what he wanted.  Trump liked to watch TV at night while eating fast food.  He was afraid of being poisoned and the only way around that was for people to not know he was coming.    He called everybody names and thought Trump’s daughter, was dumb as a brick.   He openly admits to all of the meetings with Russia and says “This will only be a problem if we win”.  Trump fully expected to lose and his wife, Melonia was upset at the notion of having to live in the White House.

Now on the east coast there is a new bomb cyclone storm that starts in the south Atlantic and is working its way north.  It’s fully as cold as the general weather but now the wind chill factor will be driven into the stratosphere.  It was 44 in Anchorage yesterday but there were highs in the thirties in Florida.   Also there is all sorts of snow in places they aren’t at all used to it like Savannah, Georgia and northern Florida. 

Attorney Jeff Sessions wants to crack down on all of these states that have passed legalization of marijuana laws.  But the retailers don’t seem too worried.  They are planning to sell pot in the city of Los Angeles on Monday.   Sessions says “Good people don’t use marijuana”.   We know.  They just get drunk and kill people with a car and sexually assault women and lie about it like Roy Moore.  

Yesterday the room was cleaned because there were bed bugs in the mattress and all of the clothes had to be washed, they claim.  - -This is Thursday January 4, 2018 and it hasn’t been much of a new year so far.   This morning after breakfast I began putting away items before the big room cleaning.  No bug spray was used.   I turned off Frangela and turned on KTLA news so when the moment came there wouldn’t be any delays.  Augustine came in here about twenty after nine and began removing the linens.  Then I saw him carrying a lot of mattresses out while out back.  It seemed like there were more than four.  He had Rene helping him.  I was nervous.  I didn’t go out for morning snacks.  It was after ten thirty I asked to use the restroom from someone in the med room.    On two different occasions I sat in the front room and one was around ten to eleven.  We had chicken soup for lunch and a hamburger and macaroni salad.  I didn’t finish the salad.  We had coffee and peaches.   I sat out back a while and then went up and saw Rene and he asked if I wanted to lie down for a while.  I just wanted to use the bathroom - - again.   Finally we got linens on our new mattresses.  Bill’s has a wooden base in front of it.   Both of my towels were taken and we still don’t have any.  Reme remarked about the magazines I’d taken from the closet floor and put them in the laundry basket.   The upper shelf of the closet hadn’t been touched and the contents below the sink were undisturbed.   However there are some things missing.  Both 2018 calendars are missing including the one I just took off the wall.  My latest bank statement is missing and also a few recent “The Week” magazines.   Another thing oddly missing are the TV instruction manual and also the fire exit diagram.   I went down about two twenty to the laundry room to ask when our clothes would be ready and John said they hadn’t been started yet but he’s here till ten o clock tonight.   All of the electronic stuff was working normally.  I had Gary and Shannon on the radio till one.  On “Days of our Lives” now they want to ship Theo off to Johanesburg, South Africa for some experimental stem cell research that should take a year to find the success of.  Theo doesn’t want to go and I don’t blame him.  Now the new Stephen says he owns the Di Mira mansion and wants to pick out his favorite bedroom.  I’ve been smoking a lot being under a lot of stress.  I got two Oreos and a lemonade from Rico for a snack.    I’ve been gradually been putting items back.  This desk chair was swapped out with Bill’s chair and the desk chair was over by the wall.
