UK got screwed out of a touchdown. The SEC officials suck. They had five minutes to see the ball was a foot into the end zone, yet they sucked it up and lied.

Auburn is a better football team than UK but not by much.

The SEC officials suck. They sold out.

Yes Bert the football was 2 yards into the end-zone. Our secondary has to settle in and fight as a unit!

The botched call at the end of the half completely changed the game. How in the hell did they not call that a TD? Even the announcers were puzzled.
 
Some critter chewed through my outdoor speaker cable. Only 4-inches exposed under the deck outside the conduit and that bastard found it. I'll have to rewire. I got nearly 20 years out of it so that's probably not too bad. I could jerry rig the cables with some wire nuts but might as well do it right.

Call Ellie May and she could chastise it into shame and maybe it won't do it again.

 

Good Sunday morning D-Legionaires. Was Planning on trying the kayak again today but 25-30mph winds would probably have me singing the Gilligan's Island theme song at the end of the day. Will probably have to wait until next weekend with jury duty starting tomorrow.

Funny thing about that, with COVID in the mix they are not selecting juries at the courthouse but at a temporary site. There is a place here called the Great Plains Coliseum used for many functions that we will be reporting to. I guess social distancing we be the order of the day.
 
Good morning from ATX. Current temperature is 78°F and partly cloudy. Our high today may reach 93° before the next front moves in. Tomorrow morning looking rather cool.

Watched lots of football yesterday. Couple upsets. Couple great games. Disappointed in our Cats, as I thought we pooped the bed in the 4th quarter. Anyway....

Wishing continued happiness and good health to all our fellow D-League members.

The Native American has been in Florida for about 13,000 years. I would venture to guess most of these tribes were here when Ponce de Leon landed in what is now St Augustine. I live in the area of the Potano and my brother lives where the Apalachee lived. Most of the tribes lived near the water. There are traces of them still around and several burial grounds nearby. They are protected.

I was born where the Tocobaga lived. My ancestors settled in this area in the early 1850s and they were among the first white families to make this their homestead. Many, many Native America artifacts were found by my g-grandmother, grandfather and mother. Indian arrowheads where abundant.

One tribe you will not find on this list is the Seminole. I guess you can say many of them were not 100% Native American because they were mixed raced and have not been around that many years.

I have a fondness for Native American history.
Another awesome post. Thank you. I share your passions. My ancestors were settled in Port Tobacco along Potobaco Creek before 1684 where my 6th great grandfather's marriage is recorded and not being Catholic allowed to own property. The area was inhabited by three Algonquin Piscataway villages one being the Potobac. Catholics fleeing England also settled in Maryland promised freedom of religion settled among them and protected them from slavery. This arrangement was short lived, however, when Puritans accorded safe shelter in the young colony seized the government. The Christian Potobaco then fled south to the Susquehanna where tribal remnants were absorbed by other Algonquin villages prior to being cleansed. Hard times.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 71°F, windy and partly cloudy. Gusts may reach 40 MPH. Today's high may reach 79°F . Cold front moving through. We'll take it.

Four former Cats in the NBA Finals: Anthony Davis, Rondo, Herro, Bam. Love it.

It's another Monday. I gotta start work in a few. Hope y'all had a great weekend. Stay safe.

Good morning D League

It is Monday. Expecting a nice week with lower humidity and lower temperatures. Our temperature at this time is 73° and we have a 90% chance of rain, winds will be 10 mph. Our high will be 83° . We have a cold front coming through and that will lower our humidity.

Here is the sun coming up on nearby Hernando Beach. The pelican is happy.

Good Morning, all. Going to get up to 81 in suburban Ashland, today, before the cold front brings us some rain, late afternoon. Then the temps go down to around a high of only 60 by late week, with lows in the mid 40's. Probably our last 80 degree day, till next spring. Guess I'll cut my grass before the precip hits. Hope everyone has a great day, and stays safe. Prayers for all that are hurting, or healing.
 
Good morning D, the rain started here at 7, already have had so big downpours!!!

Had a great weekend with Mrs. M, went to my sister's 40 anniversary, great couple!!!

Heard a story there, my B-I-L has to go to a yearly cancer check, with blood work. He said he asked the doctor if they were checking his blood work for anything that they hadn't told him bout. Said the doctor got a funny look on her face, moved a coat hanging on the door. Seems like goobner andy dandy is having all lab work checked for anti-bodies, said no names are being put on the lab work, but it would be easy to find out who it is. Next lab work I have done I am going to ask my doctor.

Need a little help from the D on the best way to season my skillet.

Hope the D has a great day!!

A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week
But I'm damned if I see how the helican!

my wife just got back from running a few errands and she told me about a lightning strike in front of her on the right side of the road. said it was the loudest strike she had ever heard. It also scared her half to death. It hit a power line and transformer and it caught on fire immediately. This photo is not it but it illustrates what can happen.

I have this thing about lightning because I saw a coworker killed one afternoon about 4:15 when we were getting off work. He went by my desk and said have a good evening and I did the same. I follow him downstairs to a loading dock that was close to our cars in the parking lot. The rain was heavy and he bolted to his car and was struck in the back of the head. Lighting went down he leg, blew off his shoes and then busted some concrete parking lot bumpers. He was about 24 years old with a 6 month old boy. Saddest thing I have ever witnessed. Be careful around lightning

It's been a quiet day and it got me to thinking of some old funny movies and this one pop in to my mind, Up in Smoke!!! There are some funny scenes in this movie!!!!
That's a classic. It came out in 1978, around the same time as Animal House. Unfortunately that was also my freshman year at UK. We were doomed. Had a great time but the ol' GPA took a beating.

When I was about 13, there was a neighborhood kid over at our house and a storm came up. So he said he needed to get home. Ran across the street and was running along a house when he got struck. He must have went 10 feet in the air. Laid there for about 15-20 seconds then got up and ran the fastest I had ever seen him.
Craziest thing I have ever seen. Wasn't hurt a bit. Go figure.
