River spent the night in the nest departing at dawn to do eagle stuff. At the 7:23 mark of the streamed clip below activity picked up at dusk yesterday whith the pair at the new nest of the stream below. Loss of a home territory nest tree can seriously affect local dyamics as resourses are reallowcated to permit maximum eagle productivity through intraspecific competitive strategies,. I noticed this male was a different adult male eagle than the Obey of the past decade. In the eagle. world he's probably still a Dale Holler Bird and if he don't take care of his family another male will. Retirement is not in the cards. It's not 1960 anymore. If his River found the nest suitable and starts sitting around she'll lay 1-3 eggs to incubate. The nest is small and single nestling will fill it up so 2 eggs should work well, once that happens, he'll get to provide and defend. That white head shows the world he's a mature adult eagle and not to messed with.

Kyle Macy?

Yeah, from Purdue. And Dale Brown, JUCO transfer, and Travis Ford, Missouri transfer, helped kick start Pitino's run in 1992 and the Final Four of 1993.

A little more about the Jussie Hoax

The Sounds of Violence- Redux
by Chuck Porretto
-
Hello Jussie my old friend.
I see you're heading for the pen.
For all those lies you told the world while weeping.
Those were your buddies that you paid for creeping.
And the fiction that you planted in our brain...
...will now remain;
as but a hoax of violence.
-
We saw you walk the streets alone.
The noose you wore was all your own.
Beneath a halo of a martyred saint.
You called us bigots if we voiced complaint.
But our eyes they were stabbed by the vision of the Catholic boys....
...your kind destroys.
Amid your sounds of violence.
-
And in the naked truth we saw.
Ten thousand lies and maybe more.
Your comrades preaching without speaking.
They wove a story, but without seeking.
Zealots writing poems that the actors spew....
....of single view.
That we are born of violence.
-
"Fool," say I, "the people know.
Your lies are why this cancer grows.
You threw away the truth your Momma teach you.
Ain't been no lynchin', ain't no whitey bleach you.
May your lies that are like the sulphur from the devil's smell;
echo in your cell..... of violence.
So put away that card you played.
At least until your debt is paid.
And may your guilt and shame flash out a warning.
Beware the lie or reap the whirlwind forming.
For the sign says, "The words of our founders as written is our solemn vow...
...not Marx and Mao."

Be damned your hoax of violence.

I'm going to have some spare time on my hands this winter so I'm thinking about putting in an application down at UL for either the President or AD position. I can delegate with the best of em.

edit: If what supposedly happened, really happened, then this is all the most Louisville thing ever. AD, along with a healthy amount of fans, wants to fire the fb coach. President poo poos that because they can't afford the buyout. AD gets mad and quits. President says "oh yeah, hold my wine" and she quits too! Can't wait to see what happens next. Will be a movie someday.

Wasn't Josh Harrellson a JUCO transfer too? He didn't make much of an impact until his senior year but man, what a senior year for Jorts.

They'll never hire you. You're over-qualified.

Anybody say Adrian Odie Smith of the fiddling five?

 

[UK82]

Tornado watch until 3AM. I might get a chance to try out my generator that's still in the box. Also, this weather event should take care of those pesky leaves that refuse to fall. Depending on the wind direction, I'll either have a ton of leaves to rake or none.

I met Smith at a UK football club gathering in Cincy some 12 years ago (Lots of UK bigs & no idea why I was invited. Still have the K Club hat I was given.). Interesting talking with him though today I don't remember much specific. I believe he still lives in Cincy somewhere.

I know many have seen this but I haven't. Ali was some kind of person....

Quite a few years ago, they introduced him at half time of a local basketball game. Seems they said he was a banker in Cincy. He would be 80 plus now, so likely retired.

True. Flies quicker than anti-aircraft missiles. No SR-71 EVER lost to anti-aircraft fire. Nothing Russians or Chinese deployed at the time could catch it. Heard anecdotally it could out run Nike-Hercules missiles. I remember in South Korea back years ago I was over there TDY. We knew when Blackbirds flew over because of sonic booms.

Boom...... Boom..... Boom..... Absolutely surreal, especially on return trips from NK.

I was an Imagery Interpreter in the Army. I loved working with that imagery among other sources. It was just fascinating as can be imagined. When they need it to, ......they just fly it a little faster. Nothing beats it.

You were a squint? Mucho respect. Tedious cannot begin to explain the body of work involved, dedication not withstanding.

 

[bertfan31]

Sitting here at 0200 seeing what these storms are going to do. Just made it through our first tornado warning of the night. My phone went off, Alexa went off, the tv went off, and the siren for the town went off. They said it was radar verified but counties are huge compared to a tornado. I went outside to see what was up and there were no tornadic clouds in my area.

We have another set coming through within the hour.

Good morning D Leaguers

Waiting on the sun to come up and have the smell of bacon frying on my outdoor grill. A couple of night ago a black bear came out of the wildlife preserve and scared a bunch of people. The whole community kept their outdoor lights on all night last night. LOL

I sure hope the tornadoes leave you folks alone. That is the last thing we need right before Christmas. of course they are never needed. Prayers your way.

Temperatures here are currently 65° with fog. The sun will take care of that this morning. Our high will shoot up to 79° by noon. Little to no chance of rain and pleasant, for us, humidity. A nice day for sure. Take care all,

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Prayers for everyone in Southwestern Kentucky. A horrible night. I checked in on my son and he was down in Garrard County at the home of a girlfriend. Safe enough I suppose but the winds were howling and they kept getting Tornado Warnings on their phone. I know those things cover hundreds of miles but still unsettling.

I hope all your families are safe.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

I turned on the news and it is not a pretty sight. God be with those who have lost loved ones and heavy property damage. They are reporting at least 50 dead in Kentucky. I have no words to explain my feelings, I just pray for those who experienced this.

I have never been in a tornado but I sure have seen the results of them during my working career.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good morning D-League. It's currently 63° and raining here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring overcast skies and a high of 64°.

Everyone stay safe on this Saturday.

Said the city of Mayfield, Kentucky was hit particularly hard. A candle manufacturing factory that was operating when the tornado hit, was nearly collapsed from it. That same tornado was on the ground for over 200 miles and was in parts of 4 states.

Thoughts and prayers to those affected by this tragic event.

 

[UK82]

Horrible night. The most severe tornado event in Kentucky history (per the governor). Just terrible. Thoughts and prayers to the families.

VP of FifthThird Bank. He just stayed there after playing days with Royals.

 

[vhcat70]

Yes, awful night. Storm died down a lot before getting to our neck of the woods, but still plenty of wind.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 50°F and partly cloudy. Today's high may reach 58°F. Looking at a low of 35°F tomorrow morning.

Tragedy in KY and across three other states last night. Thoughts and prayers go out to those affected.

I must run a few errands this morning.

Cats vs Irish from South Bend. Tip off at 5:15 pm EST on ESPN. Go Cats!

Army-Navy game kicks off at 3 pm EST. May watch some.

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

 

[bertfan31]

Good morning! Got rowdy up here last night around 0300. Haven't heard the wind howl like that for quite a while.

I'm glad we didn't have any tornadoes where I am but I'm sad they told us one was on the ground here and it had been confirmed. Tornado sirens kept going off for 2 hours but there was no tornado. This is what causes people to become complacent. We were told to expect up to an inch of rain. We got 3.1 inches here.

Weathermen on the news are some of the most useless people walking at this time. Cell phones with weather apps have rendered them useless. Good to know these same people can guess the climate to the tenth of degree while looking 40 years out.

Bring at least our B game today and we win easily. 82-71

The most severe tornado event in Kentucky history

 

[bertfan31]

I'm worried about Bert and Sherry. I've been trying to call him but the cell towers must down. He had a tornado in his vicinity last night.

 

[bertfan31]

The tornado that hit Mayfield will be upgraded to an F5. Houses were slabbed and I've seen scouring of the grass in places on the video. The only way it could be worse would be if it was wider.

 

[Backer cutter]

I'm worried about Bert and Sherry. I've been trying to call him but the cell towers must down. He had a tornado in his vicinity last night.

Not sure but my sister lives in Bowling Green and she has cell service. Brother also lives there but haven’t heard from him sister said his power is out so probably no cell service either.

Would have to be F5 if reported 300 plus mph winds is correct. That’s unreal.

 

[vhcat70]

Cats vs Irish from South Bend. Tip off at 5:15 pm EST on ESPN. Go Cats!

Well, if we won't beat them in football, hoops will have to do.

 

[bertfan31]

Not sure but my sister lives in Bowling Green and she has cell service. Brother also lives there but haven’t heard from him sister said his power is out so probably no cell service either.

I've read everything I can find and there is no mention of Smith's Grove being hit.

Would have to be F5 if reported 300 plus mph winds is correct. That’s unreal.

I hadn't seen any actual wind speed numbers. I saw a "gate to gate" aggregate speed of 283. I'm sure we all know what THAT means.

 

[UK82]

This morning's storm is creating a big shift in today's temperature. It was 68 degrees at 9 AM. I walked the dog in a short sleeve shirt. Now it's 43 degrees on the way to 28.

 

[bertfan31]

Roast, taters, and carrots on tap for later today. As I typed that a hunger pang went all through me. Later today might come sooner than I thought.
