This weather is crap!

Ohio is a wonderful place. Let’s face it we have the Buckeyes, two below average NFL teams, two (sometimes surprisingly good) MLB teams, a (once upon a time) NBA team, and a plethora of farm land and fresh air (if you aren’t in a city of any sort or by one of our factories). The only thing that I dislike about Ohio is the weather. What’s with the up and down rollercoaster of weather that we experience every week?

Why must this glorious place tease us like this? One example of this; a week ago the temperature was a high of 45, today’s high was 75, yesterdays high was 84, tomorrows high is a steady 54. What kind of sick joke is this? All I can say is Ohio would be an even better place to reside in if it was a cool 73 degrees every day with a slight wind out of the west. I would even put up with the occasional thunderstorm at that point. So that is “What Burns My Bearings” today.

We are all little kids

We live in a world of new. Everyone wants the newest, the best, the most flashy, the most expensive thing they can get their hands on. Why? so we can show it off. No one goes out and, let's say, gets the new I Pad because they actually need it. Yes, it does do some cool things and you might use it. Is it actually needed? Doubt it. When you look at it at the most basic level, we are very large children. 


Some people might say, I got the new I Pad because I like what it does and I can afford it. That is probably true. However, if that person is approached about their new I Pad they will jump at the chance to brag about what it does or let you take it for a spin, as they watch you with a big grin that says, yes this thing is mine I like it you like it and now you know I have one so now your going to want one even more. To say that I do not do the same thing would be a lie. EVERYONE wants new. The truth is that’s "What Burns My Bearings" the most, the fact that we cannot help being very large children.
