Question:
Inspired by the Las Vegas Grand Prix, I was thinking. If I ever get a house, should I get one of those big spheres in the garden like the one in Vegas?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (75%)
- No (25%)
Analysis:
I don't think this was ever in question was it? Of course I need to get one of those big balls. Honestly, I thought it was really cool. I liked the eyes looking at everything. Apparently you can go inside it. Maybe something to do if I return to Vegas at some point, although might be hard depending on how much walking there is to do.

Question:
Thanksgiving is over and we're on the final run in to Christmas. It's that weird time of year in America where not a lot of change happens. Everyone's just keeping their heads down between the holidays looking to get their shopping and everything else done before the next holiday. All that said, I seem to have put my back out somehow. Will my back be better by the time I fly back to England for Christmas?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 80% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (80%)
- No (20%)
Analysis:
Well, seems like most of you think I’ll be good to go and I certainly hope so. That said, I’m a week in and it’s still pretty bad. Trying to make sure I don’t do anything that will aggravate it between now and my trip. Which is a really silly thing to say when you think about it, as it’s not like I try to aggravate it at other times.

Earlier this week I said to William that I was worried I was losing my hair on my crown and would look like a monk. He said he hadn’t noticed, but when I bent down to show him he said oh yeah, you’ve got the …. What was the term William used to describe my hairstyle?

Yes, my dear son did tell me I was getting the Piedo Trim. Which he said would be a good look when I get my van. Nice to know what he thinks about me.

Question:
William's college applications draw to a close. Now, let's assume he gets into all the colleges, how does he choose which one to go to? Well, I think you need to decide based on the college's mascot. Probably more similar to football teams in the UK in that I would be known as a Fox. Which mascot best fits William?

Question:
I’m sure there’s at least one person that noticed I didn’t set a vote question last week. I did contemplate setting one late, but I figured I’d take the week off for Christmas. Now I’m back in the States to see the new year in. Are you looking forward to 2024?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (75%)
- No (25%)
Analysis:
Who wouldn't be looking to their last full year of working before retirement? 2024 does seem like it's going to be a year of getting stuff sorted out. At least for me, anyway.

Question:
Well, my bike is finally set to arrive on Wednesday of this week. It's been an ordeal and there's been some very confusing messages as we get close that have me worried. Will the right bike arrive this Wednesday?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 57% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (43%)
- No (57%)
Analysis:
How to unpick this. So, technically the right bike did arrive, but it arrived on Tuesday a day early. DHL's website said Wednesday, their tracking said Wednesday, it showed that it was being held on Tuesday for delivery on Wednesday, but it turned up on Tuesday. Not only did it turn up on Tuesday, but it was left in a public place even though it was marked as signature required. Delivery is so shit these days and DHL doing their best to be top of the pile of shit. We rescued the bike and got it to the apartment, well, William did. We started to put it together, but there's a mystery ring that's bent. Rather than force it together, I messaged the guy I've bought it from to replace the bit and well, he's even more shit than DHL ... I've now been waiting a week after sending photos. At the end of the day, I actually don't think the bit that's bent is supposed to be in there, but I want them to tell me that rather than make the decision, but this whole journey has been incredibly frustrating to say the least.

Question:
It's been a bit of a rough start to the year with Covid and this bike thing taking forever. Will this week start to be a better week for 2024?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 57% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (57%)
- No (43%)
Analysis:
Well, err, no. This week continued the troubled start to the year. For some unknown reason my blood pressure has shot through the roof. I’ve been in to urgent care and they didn’t seemed as concerned as I did, but I’m now on a monitor it daily. If it stays as is, I need pills. If it drops, then all is good. If it goes up, hopefully I notice before I have a heart attack and get to ER. Fun!

Question:
Hmmm. Is it going to rain tomorrow?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
You know, I have absolutely no clue whether it did or it didn't. I'm pretty sure I didn't go out, so it won't have mattered either way. I have a feeling it did as it did rain several days last week. I guess if you care, you can look it up, but I'm not going to bother.
