Caught on video

This video is pretty crazy. The guy is totally lucky. Good thing actually cars are designed to help reduce injuries from accidents like this, and also the fact the driver of the car even though he hit the guy was still aware enough to try to avoid him and then enough smarts to stop the car and not run over him. Being they were on a pretty busy highway he could have easily have been run over after being struck.

Why of course "I'll Have Another"

Congrats to Kentucky Derby 138 winner I'll Have Another and his connection's in winning the 2012 Kentucky Derby. I didn't bet but I am glad because I would not have landed on this horse. I will though have another drink to celebrate the fact that I did not lose.

Here is a little Kentucky Derby Poem I wrote during the post parade, it is quick and rough

Every year on the first Saturday in May

In the land where the blue grass grows

More than hundred and fifty thousand gather

Where the bourbon flows

The poor and the rich

The famous and unknown

All have their opinions

Everyone and their mother has one no one is alone

They say it is the fastest two minutes in sports

But it is the longest wait for those who know

From players, trainers and owners

We all know only twenty will make it

From the tens of thousands foals

When the first Saturday comes

There will be all the parties and fun

Everybody who is anybody

Will be there to see those three year olds run

When everybody comes to Louisville in May

They are there to be under the Twin Spires

The women and their hats, mint juleps and more

Will one have what it takes to beat Big Red’s

Derby record under the wire

It is the first race of the Triple Crown

The Derby is the run for the roses

In the end there is only one winner

Only one when the cameras flash

Who will be striking their pose

With all the money bet on the race

Some are serious some just for fun

There are those who lose and those who won

THE MAN WITH THE $100,000 DERBY BET

Great article over at the Paulick Report about Joel Einhorn and him winning a contest to place a $100k win bet on a horse running in the Kentucky Derby this Saturday May 5th http://www.paulickreport.com/news/ray-s-paddock/a-racing-life-the-man-with-the-100-000-derby-bet/ 

Good luck Mr. Einhorn, hope you get a square price on your bet too.

I've just got to post this so that i remember the places

Here is a list of some of the favorite dinning spots around the Green Bay area based on viewer submissions to the Green Bay Press Gazette. I hope the link stays good http://greenbayhub.greenbaypressgazette.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Avis=U0&Dato=20120330&Kategori=GPG0501&Lopenr=203300811&Ref=PH&odyssey=mod|galleriespic|life

I have to remember some of these places, and hope they are still open when my girlfriend moves here. That way I have some nice places for her and I to go. Whether it be for some lunch of a nice dinner, it is always nice to be able to go to some nice places with your significant other. Oh I am sure you are reading this too sweetie, so now you know as well. ^^

A few pictures from a walk yesterday

The kids and I took a little walk yesterday and along the way I snapped a few pictures. Figure I would post them here since it gives me something to blog about. It was a picture perfect May 1st yesterday, just a really nice spring day.
