"my baby girl who does not like the in laws"...............Dogs know............
 
Today is the date my father was born on this earth. December 4. 1916. He would have been 105 if he was still with us. My daddy was a good man and even better father. He was firm and strict, very strict, but he did it the right way. The picture below was taken on a Sunday after we returned from church. The back ground are our orange groves and I bet in his mind he was thinking we have another "fruit picker" in the family.

I would not be a UK fan had he not been my father. He was as rabid as they got and lived and breathed UK sports. He bought us tickets to the Final Four when I was 14 years old and purchased basketball season tickets in 1960. We have the same first and last name so shortly before he died he called me and said he was going to submit a change of address. That way he could avoid the UK policy of only one transfer in the family. He said with one stipulation, the tickets stay in the family the rest of your life. I agreed. Now when he first got them they were about $3.00 apiece now i pay $5,000.00 for two for the season. I blame it on Joe Biden's inflation. Why not.

RIP daddy, you were one of a kind.

Thanks @_Rooster for the eagle cam link...........I have only watched for a few minutes and I am addicted.......I could have made something out of myself if I hadn't discovered birds when I was four or five years old.........if I had a nickle for every hour I have just sat and observed birds........I would be a very rich man.........one of my problems when I was in Grade school was the janitor for the school had a very nice flock of white pigeons that lived in the bell towers of the old St. Dennis Church......my class was on the side of school facing the church.......the nuns told my parents that I had trouble paying attention...........duh...........couldn't they see that flock of white pigeons...........I knew those birds.....

awf, I have a cousin, they live in Paducah that had the same problem, only his was trains. He went to Reidland High school, made really bad grades. My aunt would ask him can't you remember any from school today, his answer was not really, but there was a train that came by with 4 unites and 55 cars!!!! He eventually worked for the railroad for years!!!!!
 
Just seeing this. Thanks for sharing Bertfan.

Yeah, everyone raised with guns knew instantly Baldwin is a lying POS.

He likely had the trigger depressed, pulled the hammer back and released it. Maybe he's such a dumb ass he didn't know that would fire the weapon -- but he certainly did after the fact. And denying that he pulled the trigger under those circumstances is just a lie.
The shooting happened 2 weeks ago, why did it take him so long to claim he didn't pull the trigger and that the gun must have misfired? Someone must have explained to him that he could be held responsible if he was the one that pulled the trigger. What a democrat way to handle it. "the gun did it all by itself".

How many people have actually been "accidentally" shot by someone "cleaning" their gun? Maybe a couple throughout the history of guns. Can you imagine how many guns would fire "by themselves" if Baldwin was allowed to claim this in court?

Guarantee you there is someone out there today who is already planning a murder and counting on the accidental firing as their defense. People are generally stupid.
 
Good morning! I'll be watching some football today as well but first I've got to go to my wife's office and help her with some Christmas decorations. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to that...because I'm not.

I don't care who wins but if there is any scenario that takes us from Citrus to Outback then that's what I want to happen. Let's get this train back on track! I'm being selfish, I know the Citrus Bowl is the higher rated game and probably looks better on our resume.

Glad to see what's going on down on Floyd St.

Yeah, I like chicks too.
 
Ahhh yeah, now you're talking Austin and I am not talking about the games.

BBQ Cookies?
Good morning D, read John 5

Dogs know............
Yes they do. They use their olfactory senses to tell time, can smell you change your mind, and your physiological condition via hormone level stench. And we worry about odoriferous flatulence. Canine hearing is also some 8 times better than human and allowing them to hear your heart beat and ID a motor vehicle blocks away.

Honey BBQ cookies. They are called Baklavas.
 
Some soft music from Senorita Ronstadt with my cup of coffee and cool of the morning. I did not know this was the #1 sellling Spanish recording in American music.

I couldn't be more enamoured with Americans of Hispanic decent. I made the innocent mistake once using the term Mexican-American referring to staff diversity. I was corrected by one of my officers in private. He was proud of his heritage, proud to be an American and did not fight in 2 wars to be hyphenated. Lesson learned.

I know i really appreciate that we still share a world with life. All life is a blessing so that we understand ours. Probably an Ignatian thought. I've learned a lot watching birds. For me, it starteded in Portland. and continues today. It's easier to share now. I see no wane in he curiosity of people to be amazed. We have the tools to share but seem unaware of what we need to be amazed by. Eagles uplift our spirits. Unemotional hormone driven creatures of devotion. When I came to Arizona our surveys revealed about 20 birds across 6 territories. Today there are a hundred territories across the state. With ecology and economy the same word. Their recovery was not just happen stance. It was a lesson of how. All we needed to do was not be as Bertfan said "stupid". While the knowledge is free, the wisdom is wanting and blindness just shocking. Same as it ever was.

I always thought she was a beautiful girl and great singer. And a super nice person. I've never known of anyone ever to say anything critical of her. It was a shame that Parkinson's took her voice. And this is a beautiful album.

I didn't know Bert had lived in Paducah ... but let's leave him out of this.
 
Home again. Got to drive my wife's car today and that's always fun. If feels like I'm driving a little go kart after driving that big truck everywhere.

Watching UGA vs UA. 3-0 at the end of the 1st. Georgia just went down the field on Bama just like they did on us. Best team in college football and it's really not even close. And now it's 10-0.

As far as quick sammiches when you're out and about, hard to beat Arby's roast beef and cheddar. Have to add Arby's sauce to make it just right.

I was going to buy some chicken wings to cook and eat while I watch football today but the package cost $17.00. I left them at Kroger.

And now Bama scores. This is going to be a game.

10-7 UGA.

We just had tuna/noodle casserole. \\Eat your heart out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Did Georgia just get screwed? Dude caught the TD pass and brought it to his chest and held it until he hit the ground. Should be a TD the instant he controls the ball. Did the rules change? Not even a review.

Isn't Cincy out if Bama wins?
I think Cincy will be in because OK State got beat. Plus they beat Notre Dame earlier in the season. If Bama wins then the only spot left will be Michigan IF they win tonight. If they lose then it could get interesting.
