D-League

Impressive run by Flightline in the Breeder's Cup to win going away. Is the hype real? Hard to say. No horse will ever match Secretariat to me, but that's probably an old guy clinging to memories.
It was impressive but there's no way you can compare a horse that's only raced 6 times to Secretariat. Secretariat is still the best. Too bad he wasn't Kentucky bred.
 


Morning Legionnaires! Fall Back!

70° on tap for today with moderate winds and sunshine. Looks like a beautiful day in store.

Here's to hoping the Bengals keep my weekend going in the right direction. Tomorrow starts a new week and UK basketball's first official game of the year. Anyone know if Oscar is playing?

You guys relax and enjoy the day and God Bless.

I did not fall back. Geeze I am up on DST. It takes a while for an old man to reset.
 
Good morning folks. Adjusting to the new time. Basically that meant in my case staying up too late and still waking up too early, only with a headache. Just leave the time alone Washington. I think I read nearly 90 percent of people preferred that.

Good win for the Cats yesterday. Alabama gets eliminated and probably Clemson. Tennessee could sneak in without winning the SEC East. That, and, or the loser of Ohio State - Michigan. Going to be crazy.

Hope you all have a good day.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 53°F and mostly cloudy. Today's high expected around 84°F.

Happy for the win and bowl eligibility yesterday. I'd love seeing 3 straight wins to end the season, but UGA gonna be tough.

Astros win! Happy for Dusty Baker.

Daylight Savings Time: all our clocks reset automatically. My watch is the sole holdout.

Usual chores and grocery shopping on today's agenda.

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

The time change always messes me up. I stayed up to the end of the Bama game and then a little later and I am paying for it this morning. Coffee should get me on track.

Bama going down was a shocker but I have to give it to the LSU coach for going for two in the first series of OT. I doubt our coach would have done that but he rolled the dice and it paid off. Meanwhile Florida beat Texas A&M and I can't see those fans taking much more of how the season is going. They are not spending a 100 million for results like that. Tennessee has a cake walk the rest of the season and I see them ending up with the one loss and maybe squeezing in the playoff. Yep, going to be crazy

Sawnee, if I had to guess this morning, TCU gets a pass into the playoffs if they win out, and that's a fairly easy path. Georgia is in. The winner of Ohio State--Michigan is in. The favorite for the last slot would be whoever among Oregon -USC-UCLA emerges with one loss - all are 8-1 now.

The Committee will always err on the side of four different conference champions if given the chance. The hope for Tennessee or the loser of Ohio State-Michigan would be for all the PAC-12 teams to get one more loss along the way, or for TCU to lose unexpectedly.

The Wild Card -- LSU beats Georgia in the SEC Title game or whatever wounded duck on the other side of the Big Ten wins the title game over Michigan or Ohio State. Then it really gets crazy.

Sec ran a lot more, but did get beat 4-5 times. Flight has won all six races and never by less than 6 lengths. Yesterday he ran against the best horses in the world of his generation. He's run 1-1/4 mile in 1:59.3 & 2 flat. Dang fast. Sec's Belmont is the greatest performance of all-time imo. Net, not clear to me one way or the other.
 
Got a long walk in before the rain hit us in the east. Stuck inside, I watched the hated Redski….err, “Commanders” blow a ten-point lead and lose to the Vikings and QB Kirk Cousins -who they cut loose.

Combine that with a Bengals blowout win and it’s a good day of NFL results for me.

I still got a trifecta of types. UL won but Tennessee lost so with the UK win, Bengals win and one of our enemies losing I'll take it.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 73°F and cloudy. 97% humidity. Increased rain chances around 11 am. Today's high expected at around 82°F.

Actually found a 1977 Kennedy half-dollar while out walking yesterday morning. The stuff folks drop.....

Another weekend in the books. Monday, Monday. Co-worker out this week. Thankfully, just 4 days.

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

Good morning everyone. Up at 4AM with this new time and no alarm. Tomorrow morning the same 4AM but with an alarm to go work the polls. Everyone get out and vote if you haven't already.

Basketball season officially starts tonight!!
Thanks for devoting your time and work at the polls. That is a very good civic service. I have voted but my wife has not. She is a traditionalist and wants to cast on election day. She also opposes mail in ballots, not trusting the USPS to deliver the "mail".

Early voting has been very heavy down here especially the Hispanic vote. They have something to prove and are anxious to do it

Morning Legionnaires!

50° now with a high of 60° expected. Light winds and cloudy all day. Going back up into the 70's for the next few days until Friday when the high is supposed to be in the upper 40's. Yesssss!

Normal morning workout for this morning and training my student at 10:00. Rest of the day I will be looking again a at site my wife sent to me in an email about our local and state officials running for office. Some of them are very vague about what it is they stand for. It just gives their name, district, and a "Not enough information" tab below. They won't get my vote tomorrow.

Stay safe today folks and may God Bless.

And oh yeah, IT'S GAME DAY!

Good morning D League

The temperature is 63° with clear skies and morning is breaking. It is going to be a very nice day with bright sunshing day as we climb to 85°. There is a brisk wind blowing off of the Gulf that is swaying palms and giving a nice breeze.

I am headed to the gym this morning to workout a couple of hours. I have been doing it three times a week for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours at a time.

Voting is halted today and tomorrow is the big day. Our issues here are road paving and drainage. We have had a few and very nice tax reductions over the past two years and the budget is balanced so we can concentrate on the rural areas roads repaired. Another big issue is the replacement of the school board. The current board was pushing CRT and grooming and boy did that cause an uproar. The mamas around here put a stop to that in a minute. And now the entire board will be swept out.

You see a lot of these flags around the area.

Have a nice day all.

Good morning folks. Still adjusting to the time change. Woke up too early, then a bit later than I wanted to, but all is well.

We've had some cloudy, muggy days. Too warm for November, but I think things are heading in a cooler direction.

Good weekend of football with the teams I care about winning and those I don't like losing. Hope you are all doing well.
 
The big day is almost here. The 3 big ballot items, for me at least:

1) Rand Paul- should win easily
2) Amendment 2 (no right to abortion in constitution amendment)- who knows what will happen
3) Louisville mayoral election- not holding my breath since the Democrats have controlled that position since 1969 but from what I'm hearing there may be a chance. People are tired of out of control crime.
 
Good morning D-League!

Another nice day to get things done that end doin. Truck battery died yesterday. Got a trickle charger on it to see if it's just asleep or really dead. Will know more later today.

Hope your batteries are all charged up and yall have a great day!

Sherry and I voted Friday. Rand Paul is my old doctor and I think he wins going away. I gave him $1,000 to help. My Congressman Brett Guthrie should win easily and I gave him a couple hundred.

I voted against both Constitutional Amendments. There are enough restrictions against abortions in Kentucky already. Sometimes they are necessary for the health of the mother. I am anti abortion but I don't want it outlawed in all cases. That amendment was a little too far for Bert.

Respect yours & everyone's opinion, but I'll vote for both amendments. The abortion one, #2, doesn't ban abortion but says the courts don't have a say in KY law on abortion. Good. Now the law that will go into effect if #2 passes is quite extreme to me, but I'd rather it be changed by the Legislature. I'd hope that in time they'd loosen it a bit.

As for #1, the Legislature is restricted not only in number of days it can meet but also in actual dates it can meet. I believe the 60 day session needs to end by Apr. 15 & the 30 days one earlier. That means the Legislature can't do a dam thing to reverse a Gov's action, like covid shutdowns, till it's time for another session. Net, the Gov is a virtual state dictator for the majority of the year. #1 adds 12 days to each year's session. NBD to me. But, the Legislature can call any of those 12 days at any time of the year such that it can override a Gov's bs. I'm all for cutting down dictators' powers.

Shoot Sir, I'd poke you in the eye for $1000.00... Oh he did more than that? 😁
