In case you want to make a little money this weekend, bet The Arlington Million on Saturday. Gio Ponti is trying to win the Million for the second time but he will not. Put your money to WIN on Quite a Handful. The odds will be short but in around two minutes, you can more than double your money. If you cannot make it to the track in Arlington Heights, try out The Turf Room in North Aurora, just off Randall and Orchard. It is a very nice place with a fine restaurant. Rockford also has an OTB (Off Track Betting) parlor. GOOD LUCK.



I eat a lot of melons. My new favorite is the Hami Melon, a Chinese variety of cantaloupe. You cannot beat a good Hami melon unless… it is a grape. The grape is close to the perfect food in its natural state. Someone smarter than I came up with the seedless grape. I don’t know where next year’s grape crop comes from with no seeds to plant but that is not my problem, unless we start to run out of grapes. The seedless grape is the perfect food. You can, however, improve on it. Freeze your grapes. Frozen grapes will be outlawed or taxed if the government ever discovers they exist. From the government’s viewpoint, if it is popular, regulate it, if it is very popular, tax it, if it is really, really popular, outlaw it and fine citizens if they are caught enjoying it.



A Muslim group wants to build a Mosque/community center within three blocks of Ground Zero in Manhattan, NY. They own the property and it is within zoning allowances for the area. There are currently several Mosques within blocks of the proposed new Mosque. The idea is legal. This group has the right to build this Mosque in America. Another religion could not build a church in most Muslim countries under any circumstances, especially like the circumstances surrounding Ground Zero and its history. This whole story seems to be contrived to upset Americans. It will not upset everyone but it will upset many Americans and others around the world that lost loved ones in the 911 attacks.



The concept is insensitive. The demonstrations that will take place during construction and after completion will be too numerous to keep track of. The owners will soon be complaining about their rights, whether they are citizens or not. It is like buying a house near O’Hare and then complaining about the noise. The world is full of people who bitch because they can. Most of the time the protesters should complain about their lack of brains, not complain about what everyone else is or was doing.



I think this Mosque will be plagued by construction problems, delays and cost overruns. The Government has done a lot to strip the Mafia of its power and influence in New York City. No bureaucrat will bother the Mafia during their dealings with the developers this time. The Mafia still is very powerful in the construction trades in New York and New Jersey. It will do what it can to prevent this Mosque from opening at least on time and in budget. Fires also start in buildings under construction or shortly after completion. I know the Court is in existence to protect the weak, poor and persecuted. The developers of this Mosque are none of these.



PAYBACKS ARE OFTEN ENJOYABLE AND WORTH THE TIME AND WAIT.



If this ever gets built and opens, do you think deliveries of supplies and equipment will go smoothly? I don’t. Americans have a long memory, ask Japan. There are people who still will not buy Japanese products and that still dislike Germans. Jewish people never forget a wrong against them. It is just good business. Don’t get mad, get even.



Check out the song below. It is a Billy Joel song, We Didn’t Start the Fire. I think it is pretty neat. Cut and paste the web address.
