Heaven, Gracie Hunt, freak offs

Just another normal fall in Kansas City. Chiefs undefeated, Royals in playoff baseball and it’s pullover weather. This may be heaven, more pollution than I expected, but otherwise, pretty neat.


I’ve made my first journey of the fall season out to the backroads to watch some harvest. The beauty of the Midwest harvest is underrated in the world of things to see. I highly recommend to young and old.

Public policy, complaint jar

Saw an old man sitting in his yard in one of those old-style webbed fabric lawn chairs, just watching combines bring in the corn and he looked as content as anyone I had ever seen.


Writing this before the first playoff series and I think the Royals might win this one. Getting Vinnie Pasquantino back might be the boost the offense needs to make this happen. The bullpen has become the surprise of the season and can be the reason they could win a three-game series.


There’s a new “baller” in the Chiefs Kingdom. Former East Carolina quarterback Cody Keith has been “signed up.” Keith completed 7 passes for 57 yards in his college career. Not sure they will replace Patrick, but still, he’s especially important to the Chiefs now.

Seems as though Keith’s main skill is “catching,” because he has caught Gracie Hunt, daughter of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt and is now officially “a thing” with Hunt. The Hunt family is worth $24.8 billion, you still questioning his skill set? Listen, I’m pulling for the guy. He apparently has a career in real estate, but that should be set aside as long as necessary to get this girl to the altar. Probably a very fancy altar, but an altar, nonetheless.

Patrick Mahomes is rich, but he’s not as rich as the guy that marries Clark Hunt’s daughter, in my opinion, and presumably takes far fewer hits from 300-pound men.


Speaking of taking hits from men, I have been mildly interested in this Sean Combs scandal. I really had very little idea who Sean Combs was until this news broke, but these alleged “freak off” parties were a confusing thought to a mid to older aged white guy in Missouri. What in the hell are these people doing in California? Apparently, he is to be called “Diddy” at this point, but I can’t call a grown man “Diddy.”

I can assure you that I will never have a friend, associate or known party have their house searched and have “baby oil” seized as part of the evidence. Is Gold Bond on the list of items that you shouldn’t have in bulk? Because that might be a different story for my social group. Anyway, do they have “freak off” parties in the Midwest? Don’t answer that, don’t care to know. Honestly, we mostly just meet in metal buildings and drink Busch Light in this part of the world, with our clothes mostly on, so this whole thing has me confused. Not sure if I’m missing out or just plain lucky to not know anything about all this.

After reading up on all of this, I’d say you’re much safer sticking to the metal building beer drinking soirees and let the Hollywood celebrities keep their “freak offs” to themselves, not to even mention the money you will save on baby oil.
