[Puppy Bowl] My cat and I are watching Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. We’re trying to decide which puppy we want to adopt. One pup just stole the ref’s flag while the other team all took a break at the water bowl. A couple jumped in and got Illegal bathing penalties.  One pooch scored a touchdown into the wrong team’s home base. I think we have found our dog — a little Yorkie/Westie or maybe the Cavapoo. The half-time Kittie Shoẁ is starting. All of the players will be adopted.
[Superbowl half time show] That was the worst half time show ever! Hip Hop is okay, but rap is boring, just a steady stream of words and no musical tune just rhymes. The synchronized dancers were good. But it sure was a great game because my team won!
[The Name Game] Surnames from nicknames nobody has any more. Often Dad’s name was a nickname. For example, a common nickname for “John” is “Jack” and we have (less commonly) John Jacks and (more commonly) John Jackson. John Bills and John Bilson, John Wills and John Wilson, and John Willis and John Willison are Bill, Will, and Wille, all short for William.
“Richard” is “Dick”, and we have John Dicks (or Dix) and John Dickson (or Dixon). “Nicholas” is “Nick” and we have John Nicks (or Nix) and John Nickson (or Nixon).
Sometimes the name has the diminutive suffix “-kin” inserted. Wilkins is little Will’s son, as is Wilkinson; Peterkins is little Peter’s son. Link

The mystery behind the best UFO picture ever seen. In August 1990, two hikers sent photos of a strange diamond-shaped aircraft to the press – but the story never appeared. Was it a prank, a hoax, an optical illusion or something else entirely? Link
[Superbowl] the half time show was too ghetto.

[Overloaded Migrant Boat] The U.S. Coast Guard intercepted an overloaded migrant boat carrying more than 130 people from Haiti, including small children, near the Florida Keys last week. The sailboat was traveling between Cuba and Cay Sal Bank in the Bahamas, about 50 miles southeast of the Middle Keys city of Marathon, when it was spotted last Tuesday by a Coast Guard airplane crew and a Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations crew, according to a Coast Guard statement. Photos released by the Coast Guard showed crew members caring for small children and infants. There were a total of 132 people on the sailboat.

The inflation rate for food is 2% so how come Winn Dixie raises just about everything by 50% and sometimes 75%. For goodness’ sake, they are charging $60 for a gallon of extra virgin olive oil. Last year or so it cost $24. $50 is not 2% more than $24! Florida Avocados were $.99, now they are $1.50 is that 2%? We’re being screwed.
