My random thoughts…brought to you once a week.

• I figured out something the other day. I firmly believe most of our country’s problems could be fixed if we let the managerial staff at Discount Tire Company run the show. Think about it…has a human being in the history of the world ever left that place upset?

• While running on the treadmill at the gym, I noticed one of the televisions had a promo going. It was plugging three straight hours of Nancy Grace and Joy Behar. Not quite sure the channel. I could think of a 1000 torturous acts I’d rather have performed on my body than watching three straight hours of Nancy Grace and Joy Behar…no kidding.

• Speaking of torturous acts…had to stop by my local DMV yesterday to get my driver’s license renewed. Hadn’t been there in several years. It’s a horrendous task…we’ve all heard the stereotypical stories about the DMV. One thing did strike me though…the people waiting didn’t seem quite as grotesque as I remembered. Does that mean I’m now more grotesque? Just something to ponder.

• Hey Farmville Facebook Peeps…the dudes that played Dungeons and Dragons in the college cafeteria called…and they said you’re losers.

• Love the piece on Real Sports last week about Dallas Braden…seems like a great guy.
