I always wondered what happened to the Sherminator on American Pie.
Without Oscar for the most part too.
42-22 advantage in the paint for the zags.
Two sweet chances... zilch...
In stall ball you pull it back and set a play and run it. When you are down 11 with TWO minutes to play you do NOT pass it around the horn. (Yeah I am a novice but I too can play the percentages in reverse stall ball... possessions need to be at least doubled. attack, attack, attack.,...unless you are afraid.)
Stick a fork in Cal. He's done...(This game too...)
This UK team made to look like chumps. Oh, where does the buck stop?

Forgettable 8 days for Cat fans.
Morning Legionnaires!
29° with light winds and partly cloudy skies. Today to be in the mid 50's.
Throw last night's game in the trash, venting is over. Let's prepare for the next game and the holiday week. Wife works today but will be off tomorrow through Monday next week. She will get plenty of work preparing for Thanksgiving, will rest on Friday, then likes to decorate for Christmas Saturday and Sunday.
Like always, those traveling be safe out there and God Bless.

Good Monday Morning D
51° on my part of the Gulf Coast with 8 mph winds and the temperature is expected to reach 72° with scattered clouds. The rain has moved on.
Headed to work out this morning. cardiac only with a little stretching and work on that dang left shoulder of mine. It is much better but it takes time.
I am listening to the radio and my gun shop owner is on talking about how the U.S. govt is making it hard on dealers like him. But he is not bowing down and is running some nice specials on guns and ammo. Thankful I live where I do.
Trust all are well and in good spirits and health.

Good morning D-League. It's currently clear and 19° here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring sunny skies and a high of 50°. That is all.
Have a great day.

Good morning from Anneta, KY on Nolin Lake. Currently a chilly 22°F and clear.
Zags came to play last night. What a sorry outing by our Cats.
Plan on cleaning up and heading down to Cookeville/Sparta area for lunch. Driving later toward Middlesboro area.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

At least #1 UK men's soccer blew out South Florida 4-0 last night at the Bell. Cats play Pitt next Sunday.
Good morning everyone.
Was busy yesterday with church prep (I help setup), church, cutting up deer (DIY), and then the ballgame.
Wife's Doc visit today to check on her allergies. She discovered acid reflux was not her issue. She is allergic to bleached flour and modified food and corn starch. It's very difficult for her to find food free of all of these ingredients. Eating out and a little shopping after the appointment.
@Sawnee Cat How close are you to the Gulf? We'll be in Astor for our vacation this winter instead of the Nature Coast. We'll miss that area for sure.
@AustinTXCat Enjoy your trip back to the mountains. Wish the weather was better for you.
Edit: Quick peak at RR and I'll hustle back over here. I just don't need the negativity in my life.

About 6 or 7 miles as the crow flies. Our property is just east of the Weeki Wachee Preserve and that runs down to the Gulf of Mexico. Very little houses behind me to the Gulf. Just a few hunting and fishing cabins. Nothing over a couple of stories.
It is very quiet and laid back and off the beaten path. There is one road leading into our area and you go out the same way you came in. Unless you have a swamp buggy. The red line in this image is the Weeki Wachee River that originates at the Spring and runs to the Gulf. This is salt marsh land and thick "jungle like" woods with lots of wildlife, big and small. I am a tad South of the spring and further West. The lake behind my house is a part of the underground water system that forms the powerful spring coming out of the ground. This is the home of the Mermaids.
@storm1507
Storm I love Astor and Lake County. My niece and her husband and family live in Umatilla. Their property is at the South edge of the Ocala National Forest. That is real Old Florida and some of those off the beaten path roads are where you do not want to tread.
There are some rough folks out there who have checked out of civilization. They live off of the land and don't mess with anybody unless. Lake County lives up to its name with some of the best fresh water fishing in the state. The little town of Umatilla is right off SR 19.

That area is great Sawnee. We did the kayaking trip down the Weeki Wachee our first year visiting the area. Love it.
I have cousins just above Ocala so we'll be visiting the Ocala Nat. Forest several times and we'll be kayaking Silver Springs for sure. If my wife wasn't such a home body (the mountain girl in her) I'd be staying down there for a month or two during the winter.

Good morning folks.
Settling into a short but intense work week. It'll be a relatively quiet Thanksgiving for us -- I had the family visit in Kentucky this past weekend and only one of my three kids will make it to Maryland for the Big Day. I keep having those Norman Rockwell dreams of being the Dad presiding over a Thanksgiving with all my kids and my grandkids and assorted other relatives. But it turns out everyone has their own lives -- my daughter and her husband in Kansas City, my son in Lexington and so on.
Some year that will happen, but not this year.
Hope you all have plans to see everyone special to you.

I'd forgotten this. Thanks. That whole bracket is a mess - except UK. GBB !!
Great talent w/minimal effort last night. Pitiful
Can't make the winning plays in crucial situations...includes defense too.
They will be good this season and make it to Sweet16, maybe Final Four even. But if the game is on the line they aint winning (at this time). I know, its still early...
Unless the team can figure it out, I'm not sure Cal will.
Hopefully they will make a liar out of me.
Meh...oh well, Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

If you have 12 minutes, there is an interesting video in the article.

Bellarmine, 'the team that doesn't dribble,' set to open second D-1 season at No. 7 Purdue
Bellarmine men's basketball coach Scott Davenport doesn't believe in easing into things.
My wife has been in the allergy clinic for 4.5 hours now. She texted that she is allergic to dogs, cats and birds. lol. She's had dogs most of her life and have had a bird now over 7. She said she'll avoid cats. She dislikes cats.
I am extremely allergic to cats and the cross I have to bear in this life is marrying a cat lover and having a daughter even worse. So to keep peace in the family I suffer through life trusting the Lord will keep me away from them in my heavenly home.
I sneeze, I cough, I feel horrible around them and it is pure hell. Needless to elaborate, I dislike cats.
A lot of people are finding this out these days. It's likely the bromine they use now in bleaching the flour and the starch, but could also be the concentrated glyphosate in corn and wheat (sonce they use the glyphosate to dessicate the wheat faster). My friends wife has a similar allergy. She now gets her flour directly from Weisenberger(?) Mill in georgetown/midway KY. Hasn't had an issue since. They must do things better
Hope you can find good ways to avoid it
Thanks. We know it's the chemicals in the process but not sure which ones. The allergist actually argued with her that it can't be the chemicals. She promised to do some research. Yeah, right.
My wife figured out on her own the bleached flour vs unbleached was the cause of her issues. Then figured the modified stuff was as well. Now that she's avoided those things her problems are worse. She had problems at church when they were baking something in the big kitchen. Less than 5 min in Little Ceasar caused problems too.
I really hope that they make a liar out of you and me. I would love to be wrong.
As an allergy sufferer for decades, just remember that your allergies change. When I first started taking shots, versus 24 years later, things had changed. The allergy shots actually help you out over the long term.
I used to have to carry an epipen for stings or things like that. Then after about 10 years of allergy injections I did not have to carry one. At one time I was told by my doctor if I get stung by a wasp simply take an antihistamine and get to a hospital as soon as possible.
Cats, bee stings really bothered me. Bluegrass, fescue, oak, hickory, rag weed, you-name-it pollen and I am allergic to most (the small pollen -wind born- are the ones most are allergic to). Mold and several other things get me also. Since 1983 I have had central vacs in all of our houses, the windows are never opened and we simply use either heat or air, and I change the filters a lot. Plus I used to love carpentry and wood work, yet I am allergic to sawdust and sanding wood. It is a big part of my life just living with allergies.
Thank goodness so far I do not have food allergies.

I saw that out my window nearly every day I went to work. I do miss thinking about the founders but do not miss the people....
Docs are WAY behind in understanding the cumulative nature of allergies and sensitivities, so the doc saying that doesn't surprise me. If the cure doesn't come out of a bottle or from under the knife, they retreat pretty quickly and feebly.
I have a friend that has a chemical sensitivity to petroleum products. Can't walk in a tire or mechanics shop some days without having some trouble breathing. Glues, paints, plastics, and wood products all need to off gas for a few weeks before they can safely be around them. Makes all of their other allergies worse for days if not weeks after exposure to the petroleum products.
Glyphosate does that for an acquaintance as well. Diagnosed with a gall bladder issue, so they removed it, but came up with the same symptoms weeks later (one of several people I know personally who were misdiagnosed and had their gb removed). Turns out it was a "wheat allergy" diagnosis after that, BUT had no issues with wheat while on a trip to Europe (to a country that banned glyphosate use).
I only see nurse practitioners now because they are more likely to have done or do actual research into what ails me. One saved me a ton of money, pain, and a very risky surgery by telling me simply to avoid a certain food group to make the symptoms go away. They have. Docs wanted to operate 10 years ago.
Good for her! We should listen to what God and our bodies are telling us.
It will be that way for a while, for some people. Sometimes what we are allergic to is also something the body craved or learns to live off of. We can react all kinds of ways with the reintroduction of the same chemicals/proteins. What's even worse is that some medicines can contain these things due to the processes of manufacturing. Introducing them through meds either by mouth or through the bloodstream can be catastrophic.
I went to a school a co-worker was attending to see a project that they were working on and met a woman whose daughter became allergic to soy and didn't know it for years. Found out the hard way when she was given meds that contained soy and the chemical reaction in her bloodstream made her hallucinate, hear voices, and appear schizophrenic. She was diagnosed as such and put on meds that made her catatonic. Her mom had to feed her, and the docs wanted her put in a home.
The mom knew that this started when she went on the meds that were supposed to be to help her thyroid, so she stopped giving her the meds and had her tested for allergies. Soy came up to be intensely allergenic for her, and when she was finally able to reach someone about the meds she was given who would answer her questions, she confirmed their was soy in them.
Even with all of that direct evidence, the doctors refused to remove her psych diagnosis and she was prevented from being hired for the work she is highly qualified to do by any gov agency or company with high level access to gov agencies. 15 years without any relapse or symptoms and she still can't get the diagnosis removed.
Another couple of friends can't be near cashmere, poison ivy, ragweed, and ferns (of all things) without a severe attack coming on. Just breathing in pollen from a poison ivy plant can trigger a full rash episode in one friend. It's crazy how reactive these things can be. Exposure to heavy metals either through breathing, drinking or eating, and injection/iv can also exacerbate existing allergies as it can heighten the immune response dramatically.
Sorry to write so much. It's something I've researched a lot. Sometimes, B vitamins and magnesium supplementation can help reduce symptoms of allergies. Using saline nasal washes can also aid the immune system by reducing total allergen load. Reducing sugar consumption also can help, as can increasing or decreasing caffeine consumption (depending on the person).
Wish you and your wife the very best in dealing with this. Very sorry to hear it, because I know what it can be like.
Hello all,
Just stopped for today a few minutes ago. Actually not stopped yet but finished for today at my job that pays the bills.
I am thankful....

Once everything slows down we'll get into some big time research for her. I grew up in farm country in Central KY. My allergies were bad. I once as a teenager working in a hay loft took one of my Mom's allergy pills. It didn't work. The next day I took two. lol That was a big mistake, but one that I remember to this day.
But after moving down into the mountains of SE KY over 35 years ago I hardly have an issue. It's like someone knew where I belonged.
Good morning everyone.
Up early again this morning to go with my wife who's still hunting. She does everything herself, but the ride back to our hunting area is nasty. I'll get some work done on the lease while she is hunting.
I hope everyone has a great day.

34° this morning with a high of 54° and sunny skies expected.
Never got my 75" Visio Flat Screen TV last week as shipping said we would but, it came in yesterday around 1700. The original day never happened last week, and wife called to confirm and was told there was a delay. They gave us another date of yesterday by 1700. It got here at 1649. The delivery man was rude and frustrated because he had a hard time finding the address. Don't know why because we are not hard to find. When taking the TV off of the truck he wanted to help bring it inside and I told him me and my wife and daughter could do it. He continued to try, and I told him 3 big dogs would not let him do it. He grunted, looked at the front door to see if there were dogs and then gave up. I don't trust pushy people. Old habits and all.
Will have it up today and ready for tomorrow's game but wife wants to go shopping first (to beat the rush). So, will have plenty to do today as we normally go shopping a couple of days before Thanksgiving to avoid the crazy weekend after.
You guys enjoy your day, be careful out there and God Bless.
