D-League

[Bert Higginbotha]

Our sugar maple is just now showing some color. Really late this year due to a warm October.

We have not yet had a frost. Frost is supposed to come around October 15th.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

And just like that the sun is out the skies are clear, the winds are calm and things are drying out. A have a few palm fronds scattered around the yard which is good because they are dead and needed trimming. Saved me a step or two.

I found out this afternoon a close dear friend has died in surgery. Apparently something went wrong. He lived up in Cumming, GA and his death was unexpected because it was not major surgery. Just goes to show you never can tell. Life is as thin as a thread and you can be gone before the sun comes up.

We are just good guys to talk to. Plus most of us are smart.

There are some exceptions to the smart part!

I talked with starchief5 the other day. A man I have never met, had never seen and had not talked to. Yet we talked for an hour and found out we had so much in common and I really enjoyed speaking with him.

That is what the D League is about. And you are right about the smart part. I am trying to improve with book learning but I am about to run out of time. So over look my nonsense and lack of gray brain cells. I am what I am .

We had a frost advisory Tuesday. It got down to 37 degrees but I didn't see any frost. May get some next week.

So sorry Sawnee.

Who in Lexington gets married on game day? It has to be a non football fan.

That's why we waited until April 8th just in case UK made it to the NC. They didn't that year.

I did the same thing. We were married on April 7th back in 1967. The tournament was over in March in those years.

Just saw a headline while reading about the World Series. PETA is asking the baseball world to remove the name Bullpen from its vocabulary. What a world we live in folks 😕

Last Fall/Winter I posted about two of our trees in the front yard...maples....where they don't turn an orange or red, but just kind of go 'blah' and keep their leaves until very late in the season. Think you told me they were silver maples...with the same advice of them being a nuisance. And yes....they have the whilybird seeds all over the yard in the Spring. The Mrs hates those seeds...constantly has to pull seedlings out of her flower gardens, flowers beds by the house, etc.

We've got a bunch of walnut trees on the property. One is huge. We've got a picture from the 1920s showing it, so no telling how old it is. Therefore we have a very healthy squirrel population. Funny how they can hide/bury those nuts all over the place...and know exactly where they all are.

I've heard squirrels have almost as good of a sense of smell as any other animal/rodent...

Almost..

Some of the best however, can't help themselves when it comes to nuts and other such things. I'm sure that particular/peculiar animal has done more than sniff

You bet.

I am the proud parent of two pet squirrels.

If you give them a bad nut, they sniff it and set it aside.

Squirrels are gods gift to humanity. They are special, especially if you have ever known one. I love the little fuzzy tailed rodents.

Here are two pictures of my friend Chip:

We were supposed to have had frost yesterday morning. I was up at the stroke of 10 and didn't see any though.

Due to MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING, frost as we know it will disappear from the Earth by 2027. If we do not enact laws to stop it!

I bet she could suck a bowling ball thru a garden hose with that gap in her teeth, with her mouth closed!!!!

PETA. Another political hack disguised as something they are not. Have they come out and said any thing about Fauci and his torture of my favorite breed, the beagle.

They will give him a pass and cry about a bullpen. My grandfather had a pen where he put his bull before breeding him. PETA would probably want grandpa put in jail or hung on the highest oak tree. But grandpa would not give a hoot about PETA.

Not as easy for the thieves to get their hands in the nuclear cookie jar. How did Solendra go bankrupt so soon after they received our money? Never was meant to be anything other than what it was. A money grab.

About 27 or so companies went belly up not long after receiving government money.

Yep, but I am a handsome devil and useful in other areas.

I’m with grandpa. And I wouldn’t mind putting the PETA scabs in my bullpen with Bully. Be a fine show, for a minute.

I'm assuming the other one is named Dale? No wait, those are chipmunks. Great pics Bert!

I don't know about you guys but FedEx has been downright awful this past year. Another lost package.

Great day. Eating breakfast bowl of cereal & bit down on something hard. It's two pieces of a crown. Off to dentist this pm. Nothing new for me & my weak teeth.

Well, have new crown to the tune of $1700 less insurance. Half hour work for dentist over an hour period. Trimmed down & shaped up stump - 15 minutes. Hand-held scanned remaining tooth base & surrounding teeth. Program creates 3D model from scans that he tinkers with before he sends to printer - 10 minutes. He sees other patients while the furnace cures the crown for half hour. Fives minutes to put in & done. Felt nothing the whole time & still don't.

For the golfers on a rainy day, started watching the golf channel and the ladies are playing at night!!!! Course completely lit up!

Well 18 holes are smaller than a football field.

The more I see and hear from Attorney General Garland the more thankful I become he was blocked from being on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Who caused that block to happen?

I have read that the really don't find all of them.................and that they use their sense of smell to find their buried treasures......We had a big oak in the back yard and you wouldn't beleive how many of those things would sprout in the front and back yards.....plus those little fuzzy tail SOB's keep the yard and flower beds dug up.........not to mention eating the garden up........

 

[vhcat70]

If America really wanted clean energy they would go Nuclear. Even France knows that. I will never understand why America is so afraid of nuclear.

There was a nuclear power plant just up the road from me and they decommissioned it. I guess the nuclear lobby is not as powerful as the wind mill lobby

100% accurate & agree. I think the answer is that greenies use climate change as a problem to reduce power usage totally & have us live in caves. Nuclear thwarts that.

If they found them all, we wouldn’t see little oak trees coming up.

They can hit it a lot further than me! Maybe I’m responding to a tour pro?

You guys of the D, have no idea how good therapist you'll are!!!!! Thanks!!!!

Amen Sir... I am thankful!

Sir, I try, honest I do. can I get a participation trophy at least?

What an ugly person!

Is that what that is Sir???

My wife and I got bite blocks or mouth guards, whatever they call them because we're grinding the hell out of our teeth during sleep. Insurance doesn't cover a dime. $1,200.

I do a lot of third party production and shipping to motels. We use FedEx and are not totally happy, but they have been better than UPS who we used to use.

I had a buddy years ago who had a pet racoon. One of the smartest pets/animals I've ever been around.

My Darling and I did that years ago. They have worked well for us. That is about exactly what they cost.

I will try and start watching again this season. I sure do hope Cal has wised-up a lot as my Dad used to say. I don't believe they will but I hope this team doesn't go ignant. I sure did miss them...

I won't believe this until Rooster confirms it.

It would be great to beat Coach K one last time. I hate to say it but at 6-2 coach K has a big advantage over the Cats. Surprisingly the two teams haven't scheduled more games in pre-conference.
