Central Carolina Scale

It’s a sure sign you’re getting older when you’re more concerned about making sure the rental chairbacks are properly added to your bleacher seats for the football game, than how well your football team is going to play on gameday.  What am I becoming?

I know that I try to keep this blog about scales and most of the time I succeed.  But, every now and then I have to talk a little sports.  I was fortunate enough to go to the East Carolina (ECU) vs. North Carolina State (NCSU) football game on Saturday in Raleigh.

It was a great game.  What an exciting finish with the NCSU Wolfpack taking the win in overtime over the #15 ranked ECU Pirates 30-24.  As an NCSU alum, I was proud to see this team succeed and of the great atmosphere that existed for this game.

However, there is a dilema.  For years and years, the argument has existed, should NC State play ECU more often?  In fact, I just finished reading a message board loaded with different opinions.

I have a feeling we will continue to get more “informative” emails like this one below in the months ahead.  I’m sure they will be “informing” us about the shortcomings of both sides too.  Here is the best email received so far, early on, here in September:

• You couldn’t get a job at McDonalds and become district manager after 143 days of experience.
• You couldn’t become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience of being a surgeon.
• You couldn’t get a job as a teacher and be the superintendent after 143 days of experience.
• You couldn’t join the military and become a colonel after a 143 days of experience.
• You couldn’t get a job as a reporter and become the nightly news anchor after 143 days of experience.
BUT….
• ‘From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate.
• That’s how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.
• After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan. 143 days?

We all have to start somewhere. The senate is a good start, but after 143 days, that’s all it is - a start. AND, strangely, a large sector of the American public seems to feel comfortable with this and campaigning for him. We wouldn’t accept this in our own line of work, yet some are OK with this for the President of the United States of America
