October 8 sunday

A sacrilegious day is Sunday . The US is more conservative than Australia . You know that but I’m confirming it . The evangelical programs on tv dominate Sunday mornings. You’ve never seen a bigger lot of bullshit . Surely it ain’t real ,but it is .Once again California is far removed from conservative America. Californians jokingly mention that they’d like to be their own country and are independent from the rest of the America.After all they claim to have the 5 th largest economy in the world .This isn’t a conservative state .The huge gay population of San Francisco, silicone valley and they’re pursuit of alternative energy are testament to their modern thinking . California is ahead of Australia in this regard .They aren’t scared to put thousands of wind farms up and inland seas of solar panels ,all the while still drilling for oil straight out the front of LA. I think the strategy makes sense , keep using natural resources until they’ve got enough modern energy to make it redundant .Its well known that Trump is not liked and probably not welcome here . This country has its extremes , its bipolar in fact . They play their dominant sport on Sundays . That I don’t get but don’t question it , as I did . Leroys tennis coach looked at me with a blank face when I asked why it wasn’t played in prime time Friday and Saturday nights ?”But it’s the NFL he explained ” Yeah but why not play it on prime television times?, I asked. ” But that’s the way we do it, we play college those nights.” he replied . (College football is an inferior brand , a bit like the VFL)I paused and let it go . “What about the concussions?” I asked. “We’ve got the fund for that “, he said .”Yeah but they’re killing themselves and what about the lower leagues , what fund do they get ?”, I said.He laughed and said “well don’t play it “. They play it on Sunday and they play a game where they lead with the head with helmets that don’t work . Last week 5 guys were concussed in one game , but they’ve got the portable tent that treats them now .So what , they’ve already been knocked out . It would be sacrilege to change this game cause’ that’s how we do things here’ . ….. Ha? As I write this on Sunday afternoon ,I’m watching my newly adopted team ,the LA Rams play in 30 degree heat . They don’t play Sunday night in the West Coast as the3 hour time difference doesn’t suit the East Coast viewers .And p.s I do like Sunday football , I just reckon it ‘d be good if they play it Friday and Saturday night .Dont tell them that , though .
