Perfection sweet perfection

So .. wait a minute.. Here first lets talk about a non issue but one that every state that has a republican governor is making a big stink about.. I keep saying if you just STFU about these things they will go away.. But no, every governor has made a stink about the transgender bathroom situation is just asking for trouble the more into this we go.. It's just exactly like the sixties when blacks weren't allowed to use the same bathrooms as the whites.. Maybe not exactly like that but pretty damn close, Our own governor has said that our state will be directed not to follow the rules the president has laid down and they are very simple, and likely would have been laughed at by the kids.. The day is coming when they will do something about this, making the bathrooms unisex or whatever.. Just take a pee damn it..


On with the entry.. Perfection... How badly do you want to attain it? Steve Czaban has been talking about the new direction things are about to go in major league baseball.. They have instant replay for a good majority of the game but at the heart of things is the balls and strikes are still being called by a human umpire.. These guys get tired of the game I'm sure, no matter what they might say.  Watching the balls being thrown over the plate and it isn't like the game has gotten so fast that they can't tell a strike from  a ball.. It's that most players and fans alike are saying why can't the get consistent with the calls.. Well do you want perfection??  Is that what you are after, and even if you don't care, perfection is on it's way.. Balls and strikes called in real time with a computer system that will evaluate balls and strikes called by a video system.. Now Czabe was talking a robot ump.. A as in singular.. I'm thinking if they want perfection they will have to have multiple angles to call strikes and have the measurements down to the smallest millimeter, not just a single beam could be that good, but rather multiples.. take the robot at home plate and two to three others.. One from above the plate and one in each of the power allies.. You wanted perfection, might as well go for broke..  They are already trying to get it down in the Pacific league and are projecting to have it ready to be at the big leagues by 2019...  Pour your beer on the umps while you can..

Finally I watched a movie this past weekend that was ..   kind of sad really..  not that the movie itself was sad or had a sad ending, but  the subject matter hit kinda close to home..


Prescription Thugs, about .. well prescriptions and the fact the doctors aren't watching out for the patients best interest at heart, but rather to get Americans hooked on opioid based pain management drugs, which really all of those are are derived from opium which is where heroin is from.. The number of "accidental" deaths from these is growing at a phenomenal rate.. This past fall my niece passed away and just last month Prince did as well..  Same type of thing.. These drugs seem to be very easy to be on and the movie shows how easy it is to get a hold of this medication.. I had always said that my biggest fear was that the doctor would stop writing the prescription for her to get the drugs and that might turn her to get on heroin.. Turns out that was the least of the worries, it was easy for her to go to a doctor and get more because she went to more than one doctor... They should be able to communicate with each other but right now they don't..   This movie was sad because all of those who are on these pain medications for chronic pain are functioning people.. For the most part but to me these people should be told get your affairs in order.. There is a better chance you will die from this medication because it numbs all your senses.. Get your life in order, get a will, make it legal..  The sad state of things is that drug is very addictive, the synthesis of the drug.. Very strong.. Avoid it altogether if you can live with pain..  The alternative is darkness..
