Mon - 6 Feb/17

A foggy morning until the sun burnt it off around 10 a.m. It then will be sunny and hit 80 F. today.

Today is a lazy day. Although I was up at 7 a.m. and did a few tasks around the motorhome I returned to bed and joined Charlotte. We both slept in.

After 1 pm I left for The Lodge to use the Wi-Fi.

Today, the conjecture is that 1 Billion Dollars worth of productivity is lost on the day following the Super Bowl. Probably also best to not buy a product made today (grin).

Kraft Heinz is giving 42,000 of their employees today - Smunday (Super Bowl Monday) - off rather than spends millions making an ad for the game.

There is a move (more a publicity stunt) to have Congress make it a Federal Holiday in the USA.

Kraft Heinz are sponsoring the petition to Congress. Only 100,000 signatures are required for presentation. They are already half way there.

Rant of the Day: Being Canadian - I naturally prefer the CFL and Grey Cup over the NFL and Super Bowl. 4 downs and "Fair Catch" is only the tip of the iceberg. I also find the NFL overtime rules highly unfair. They do not play the overtime under the same rules as the game. A coin flip gave the New England Patriots first chance to score and because they scored a touchdown - the game ended. Under CFL rules the other team would also get an equal chance to score. If they tie - it continues - until the tie is broken after each has had an equal number of opportunities. Not so in the NFL. (Note: If the game followed the same logic as the overtime rules the Atlanta Falcons would have won the game which would have ended after their first touchdown.) The NFL somehow thinks this rule is fair for all. (Something like their presidential election process - grin).

I will make baked potatoes and Salisbury steak w/Lima Beans for supper and we will continue to take it easy watching TV for the evening.

It did us good to relax today.
