I’m out walking and suddenly a light snow is swirling around. Something about the first snow of the season never fails to lift my spirits and I’m feeling that little emotional bump.

I guess deep down I’m still a kid hoping for a Snow Day.

This morning my wife got up about 4:30 and turned on the heat pump. This is the earliest I can remember. We usually wait until January before we need any heat. I could have waited a little longer but women have different inner temperatures than men., I am speaking for myself and my wife.

So much for global warming. My friend in Stranraer Scotland sent me these pictures. Palm trees are all over the area so he says. I need to take a trip to check this out. I had no idea

Good morning all and please realize I am currently under-caffeinated. I still go back to the game last night and can't come up with much other than this UK team could be the.............Barber's of da Ville.....though this team themselves could use a steady barber. I know, I know but I typed it.

I was driving in downtown DC this morning and noticed that light snow too. The first I've seen of it this season. (I work remotely so there is that knowing I "don't get those snow days..."

 

[bertfan31]

Good morning! I think I made some plans to do something with a friend today but i can't remember what they were. Someone has already called for me to play golf at 1042 so I might end up doing that. I'll tell you what I will not be boing. Mowing the grass. Or, picking cotton. I'll never pick cotton, like my Mother did, and my brother did, and my sister did. My daddy died young working in a coal mine.

Hard to tell much from a game against a friend but I think the boys are coming along nicely. Still can't imagine WHY Sharpe wouldn't play if he's healthy and good to go.

Have a good day and stay hydrated out there. Supposed to hit a balmy 55° here later for about 10 minutes before we get some cooling relief.

November 30 is the Official Last Day Of Hurricane Season.

This may be the quietest season of my lifetime. In the Spring they said Global Warming aka Climate Change would bring about 15 named storms and half of them will do major damage to life and property. We were told to cut back on fossil fuel or else. I guess somebody cut back on fossil fuels but the reason was $4.00 a gallon at the pump.

When will we ever learn?

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Well men, what would we do without our women. Crisis solved. My wife saw me tearing up my office and getting into the cedar chests and asked me what the deal was. I told her I have no jackets to wear and I am too old to buy anymore. I lost them all and may have taken them to Goodwill.

A half hour later she came into the room with a long container like you roll under the bed and dumped them out in the floor. Saved. Saved and Saved again. So this song is for you, my Miss. From the Preacher Man Jimmy Clanton to me to you.

 

[bertfan31]

Not only did the storms not increase in frequency, they didn't increase in intensity either. What did the weather channel start doing? They started using wind speeds from high in the storm where they move faster than they do at the ground, where we are. This makes it easier for them to bump a storm up a category and get more viewers. We've thrown some other rules about measuring storms out the window as well in an effort to prove climate speculation.

Hurricanes aren't bad enough on their own. They need embellishment. What a world.

What, no weather/ camera men seen falling and fighting any storms this season?

Well, it could happen...

Morning folks. It is sunny and 47.

On the game last night: my cable, internet and phone are through Spectrum. I get 600 Mbps. I had a perfect picture and no buffering. I guess different areas have different quality streaming. Plus about 5 years ago I hired an outfit to hard wire all the TV’s, computers and cable boxes with Cat5e. It really makes a difference.

I am now able to record off streaming as I have finally found a cheap HDMI splitter that does not pass the HDCP information to the TV to shut it down. It was the 8th one that I bought and finally I got one that is cheap enough to “not” work, at the least for the moment.

I concur to all the anti-Notre Dame posts made. I don’t know why LSU would want the ND coach. Geeze they had a good one.

On this weekends UK games there is one little side note that I will pass along. I took business courses at night at both North Florida and Louisville. I thought that that was interesting.

Good morning D, read John 1.

Delivered a Thin Blue Line this morning to a deputy in Hopkins Co., a really good friend!!!

For you guys in the SERVICE that went to Germany, you ever been a town named Wertach? I saw an article that they have 33lbs. of silver coins in a river there, some dating back to 54-68 ad!

I hope the D has a great day!

Being 78 years old I don't buy any new clothes. I won't live long enough to wear out the clothes I already have. I told my wife she could just give them to her next guy. She told me they didn't fit him.

*My buddy asked his wife if she was going to give his bowling ball to her next guy. She said she wouldn't because her next guy was left-handed.

I think it is obvious that ATX was never there.

 

[vhcat70]

Surprised they'd announce this before ND's bowl game.

These major coaching changes all happen by around Dec. 1 now due to the mid-Dec. recruits signing period. That changed the time from around bowl games.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

He has kids there and he speaks the language.

 

[starchief5]

He has kids there and he speaks the language.

I was referencing the fact that all those silver coins were still there.

I totally missed the point.

He would have found them in a New York minute!

Sorry for the blunder.

I'm with the Starchief on this one Sir. No way ATX was on the same continent...😂 Brother ATX would of had them all...

Same with me, I have probably bought my last piece of clothing. I got a couple of sweaters last Christmas and I doubt I wore them one time. I go barefoot half of the day and don't wear long britches except to church. Sometimes I am the only man doing that. The younger folks wear shorts. It is pretty casual.

My wife and I have been watching You Tube videos and actually came up with a game. Last night we commented about how dressed up men, women and young folks were in the 1950's and even into the 60's. Every man had on a coat and tie and every woman had on a modest dress or ladies suit. They sure looked good back then

I worked 32 years for the railroad. The deal was that you wear an expensive suit and tie. No compromises.

I got used to it. I have never, as an adult, gone to church without a suit and tie. I have never, as an adult, gone to a viewing or funeral without a suit and tie. My dad would turn over in his grave if I did that because he would not.

As a fact when I was commissioner and mayor I never went to a meeting without a suit and tie. It is stupid to do such things as I did but it lays down a marker for "respect". You respect church, you respect political office and you respect folks at a funeral. It is really simple.

In my old ways you simply have an image to keep. I am old and stupid but I have "class". Wear a suit is my fathers way.

Wow Bert, they only promise me 300mbs and I get about 27, but my shit didn't buffer except when I said it did, before we came back from commercial.

LSU wants the ND coach because......he's been a coach somewhere that has done some things. They are NOT like Kentucky who will hire a coach who hasn't coached. Not a knock on Stoops, but he IS still learning on the job.

Business courses? Let me guess, the main point was either buy low, sell high. Or , First in, First out. Amiright?

I never went to church without a suit. Ashamed to say that there was a period in the 70's that it was a leisure suit.

I have never been to a wake, funeral, viewing, or anything else to do with someone's departed that I didn't wear a suit. It's just what you do.

 

[starchief5]

I don't even own a suit. The last time I wore a suit was for a civil service job interview 18 years ago (I got the job, for which I didn't have to wear a suit). I had not worn a suit for 17 years previous to that interview. I am definitely a blue-collar guy.

I attend a large church of thousands and I cannot recall ever seeing anyone, including any speakers, wear a suit. Speakers do however wear long pants, even if it is jeans. It's just a West Coast thing I guess. I wore a suit to church every time until I moved out West.

Like Sawnee I rarely wear long pants. Shorts and sandals almost all the time.

 

[bertfan31]

@Sawnee Cat hey bud, looks like I'm going to peter out on the bowl game. I was all game to go when it was going to be the Outback Bowl. I'm not sure I'm willing to deal with Orlando on New Years Eve.

The plane tickets for the weekend ended up being 325 instead of 61. The cheapest motel I could find was about 250 per night. I'm going to end up dropping a grand and I can't help but think of what I can do with that money right here at home.

I hate myself sometimes, but it's for the better. Hopefully

Did you get excited there thinking about golf. To coin a Johnny Carson phrase: Did it make your putter stutter.

Never owned a suit until the army Class A's and Blue's. Only own one suit now and bought that when my mother died April 2012 to attend her funeral. Will probably wear it a second time when my step father dies which will not be long now I am told. After that, it gets trashed. I am not big on suits myself, too constricting. Hated wearing the Class A's and or Blue's. Just like my taste in food, I am a simple man with simple taste. I guess you could call me a simpleton.

No, I didn't get excited but I did make a spelling error. It doesn't happen often but I always laugh about it. Most of the time I'm typing, I'm also watching tv. Most of the time I proofread what I've written but sometimes I just hit send and check it later.

I did end up playing golf today. The second person who called made a much better argument than the first guy. I caught up with them on number 4 and played on out. Was 1 under after we walked off 18. Doesn't count though. I'll try to duplicate tomorrow.

 

[UK82]

I checked out the women's volleyball thread and a poster said he didn't want to play Wisconsin again because they had a freakishly tall player. I looked at their roster and couldn't tell which player he was talking about. They have a 6'7", 6'8" and 6'9". Take your pick. Hell that rivals UK's mens basketball front line. Doubtful they all play at the same time but what do I know.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 52°F, partly cloudy and calm. Today's high predicted at around 78°F. Nice, Fog may roll in a bit later.

Co-worker out this morning. Hope we are not too busy.

Happy Hump Day....

I watched UK vs Wisconsin volleyball match earlier this year. Badger gals are giants. Definitely would rather avoid.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 31° and clear here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring rain showers and a high of 52°.

Everyone stay safe on this hump day.

I can understand, Tampa is a much better venue for a Bowl game. The city is more fun and the restaurants are hard to beat. Plus they have Ybor City. Ybor City is a hidden jewel that even a Nun would take down her hair and have fun in. Sangria flows like water in Ybor.

When you start adding things up it can get expensive. I expect a great Kentucky crowd because so many folks with Kentucky ties live down here.

50 years ago girls that tall were put in a circus. But since there are no more circuses around they play volleyball for Wisconsin. I would want to avoid them too.

More than half the time I don't proof read mine I just hit send and let things fly. If the message is understood I am good with it.

Hello all,

In DC again, yeah....it's a swamp!

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good morning D-League.

Well it is December and the days are getting shorter. I realize life is getting shorter for me as i am deep into the December of my life on earth. Not really a bad thing for me as life has been good.

It's currently 40° and we will have sunny skies as we climb to 72° A perfect day to have a bowl game and just have some fun. The coffee is extra good this morning as I sit here in the cool of the morning wearing my short britches and fleece jacket I thought I had given to Goodwill. I gave my wife a nice reward for finding it.

Well, a lot to do today as we prepare for a family Christmas so I better get on it. The smell of sausage has my spirits high and hot biscuits just add to what should be a great day. Trust all are well and prayers to those who are in need or have a special request.

I love the Old Fashion Trolley Cars

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks.

Happy December. Christmas is bearing down fast now.

I wish I’d stayed up to see the Dukies lose. But I did watched the Syracuse-Indiana game. Exciting game between two mediocre teams and always fun to see IUseToBe with a frustrating loss.

 

[warrior-cat]

Morning Legionnaires!

2 cups down, loaded up and trucking.

Weather comparable with @AustinTXCat. Will allow more work in and around the outside of the house today. The rest of the week is more of the same. May decide to try and get a little fishing done tomorrow afternoon. Get a day or 2 in before the weather gets colder. Been watching a few fishing shows everyday for the last week or so.

Es ist Mittwoche so...Hump Day! That is for those still working.
