White Sox TV broadcaster Ken "Hawk" Harrelson made a bet - if the Sox won 10 straight, he's shave his head. The Sox never made it. Then he made another bet - if the Sox swept Kansas City, he'd shave his head. Well, that one he won. The Sox swept Kansas City and for one brief day last week, we were tied for first - the first time since last year. Pitcher Mark Buehrle shaved Hawk's head. Now, Hawk has been hiding the head... until the 7th inning stretch in tonight's game.
Oh, Sox 9 KC 13 tonight, and are now 3 games behind KC.
Every town has at least one of these - a dangerous intersection that has had an awful lot of accidents, some of which you may have been a part of, or, if you're lucky, you were almost a part of.
There's a Walgreen's less than a mile west of us on Golf Road. Though I didn't see it, as I was leaving Dominick's this afternoon I noticed another bad accident right at the light. There' something weird about that particular intersection, where people - for some reason - don't see the traffic light. Today's accident was between a car and one of those mini shuttle busses from a retirement home. They were pulling people out of the bus and car and putting them in ambulances.
I always wonder when the municipalities will do something about these kind of problems, especially since it's just not a one-time event.
OK, I have to come clean on something... I've had a problem for almost two weeks now. It's embarrassing. It's gross looking.
I have to hide my hands. Why? Because the skin on my fingers is pealing. All 8 fingers and 2 thumbs. It started at the tip of each finger, and now it's just spreading. The skin is drying-out, getting hard, and just sloughing off. Like I'm shedding my skin in some terrible B-Movie. This happens every once in a while, maybe about once a year. I don't know if I touched something and it did this, or it's an allergic reaction, or God knows what. It's gross.
