…sad and mad time.
I know that the media has and will give us debate overkill
here in the next few days so I will let you sort through your thoughts. You do
not need my little bit of arrogant thinking to distract you from whatever is
about to happen. The only pre debate or debate comment for now is:
Nowadays, it seems logic and common sense are four letter
words in our society and words that no one wants to utter or practice.
So why the big gloom here on the early first debate eve you
may ask. Well two reasons and one involves this blog. It has come to my
attention and I do not know all the details, but some porn sites are feeding
off clicks to this site or are redirecting to something else. As I have
confessed many times I am a tech neophyte even to this day so I do not know how
all the ins and outs work on setting up social media or whatever else you call
my blogging. I just know somehow someway this blog has something that I have no
idea how to correct or rid. This seems
to be on the google version of the blog. I do not think wordpress or tumblr is
experiencing the same problem. Or nothing has been brought to my attention.
If any of you that read this blog and have an idea of what
might be happening I would definitely appreciate some feedback or info of what
you have run across. I do not think everyone is being redirected and I have no
idea why porn sites are attaching or redirecting to me. That seems weird to me.
Instead of going to hell viewing porn, they are being sent to blog hell coming
here. Ha ha ha
Anyway I hope you are not misdirected here or there and
hopefully maybe it was a fluke that someone ran across. Again, any info to help
out is seriously appreciated.
The second sad and mad is a common complaint among either
casual sports fans or non-rich sports fans. Yes, I am talking about the
disaster in trying to buy tickets to a sporting event, if you do not know
magically in advance the one day before the season starts that you may go to a
game. There just seems to be one day where a fan can get regular priced tickets
before the season starts for the actual event without having to go through
ticket vendors or ticket exchanges once that day has passed and all the tickets
are bought.
I know the teams love the vendors since it helps them sell
out tickets so they get their revenue. Yet the casual fan or someone who cannot
afford season tickets get stuck having to purchase tickets at a premium and
then whatever system you are on tacks on a service fee. I wish I had a good
answer to remedy this situation. Sometimes if the team isn’t doing well or for
sports like baseball or basketball where there are enough games that sometimes
last minute prices come down you get lucky. If you want to get football tickets
to any popular or winning team you can forget about it. Prices are up
significantly and wildly different from seat to seat.
In any case though all sports exist because of the fan, yet
corporate American prefers to shove down our throats how they want to do
something versus helping out their customers and in this case fans. Sad, but true the one people who really matter
the most when it comes to sports are treated the least. I know many of you are
probably already well aware of the problem, but today I had to vent. Actually I
have been wanting to vent for a week. We have friends who are serious fans
coming in town and one of my offspring is having a birthday so it was a perfect
time to decide to go to a game yet to buy five tickets to sit next to the moon
and watch the game was still extremely burdensome financially. Well at least
for those of us who live in “the middle class”.
I hope your experiences are better and if you watch the debate
feel free to add your thoughts to this post or any post for that matter or
email me. I am really curious to what the rest of the world thinks about
tonight other than the media talking heads, who like the two political parties
haven’t said anything new in decades. You can also vent about sports or even
concert ticket prices, too.
And this evening it was actually a tad chilly here in North
Texas. It will not last long, but for right now a nice refreshing break from
the humidity and heat. Change is coming eventually though. Salud
