It is cloudy and a cool 26.1°F in Smiths Grove this morning. We got a skiff of snow yesterday afternoon about 2pm. It is hanging on for another one.
Go Cats.
Go Cats.
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Good morning from Bamberg, Germany. Currently 32°F and overcast. Cold. Freeze warnings in effect.
Yeah, Cats lost to Clemson Tigers. Just saw score and read stats. Bummer. This year, seems UK loses deciding games when I visit Germany.
Heading west to Frankfurt after breakfast. Grab a room there at Radison Park West near Flughafen.
Got some photos yesterday; however, here's one taken with the good luck charm in front of 800 year-old church last week before trip out here to Bamberg. Thanks, @cordmaker .

Wednesday, Wednesday, La la la la la la... no wait...
Mike, Mike, Mike...what day is it?
It's Hump Day!
That's all I got; you guys try to enjoy the day after our first loss. Probably see another this weekend. Although in the prediction thread I had to choose UK to win against Gonzaga.

My how quickly things change on RR. Cats go up against a very good, highly motivated team in front of a hostile crowd for their first true road game and lose. That's never happened before. I'm not concerned. They still had a shot to win. The shots just didn't drop. It had to happen and now is as good of time as ever. I have no doubt that Pope will make adjustments. May not be enough for Gonzaga (for now) but they'll be ready when the SEC starts.
Good morning folks.
Tough night for the Cats. I had to get up very early so I couldn't watch a game starting at 9:30...Sounds like bad shooting, and an inability to defend the post.
82, I hear you about Rafters. But, as I'm sure you realize, if you look at the names you haven't seen since the Duke win who are atarting threads and piling on, you realize its 90 percent imbeciles with nothing better to do with their time than pretend to be Cat fans and whip up bad vibes after a loss. I don't think the mods want to stop it, because it drives traffic and makes money for the site, but it makes it impossible for real fans to discuss the games logically.
Grinding through today and tomorrow then off to Kentucky early Friday. My father's not feeling well, so some worrisome times.
You all take care.

Best wishes for your dad. Today would have been my dads 101'st birthday. I still miss him.
Something kind of unique and most people would never think about it: A soft pleat lamp shade has a styrene inner liner with a pleated cloth glued on to it. Traditionally the wire at the bottom of the shade has been on the inside of the shade. It still is on laminated shades. With a soft pleat, there was a problem with the shades "ringing" when you stack them. About 40 years ago, we were the first company to do an outside ring, thereby allowing stacking. All it took was a slight modification to the pattern and slight modification to the binding machine.
BTW, soft pleats have gone out of style because so many domestic suppliers have gone out of business. It takes a special machine to do the pleating, and there is no one around to do it. One small place (like us) bought some used pleating equipment, but they couldn't figure out how to use it. Some of us still have a few pleats left from the old days, but you can't buy new pleats..
Stacking without having to use spacers may not seem important when you are the consumer with a couple of shades, but to the manufacturer or distributor it was huge.

@MdWIldcat55 tell you dad another old man is rooting for him.
I was sort of proud of the Cats last night. They never lost their fight. They were cold from the three but Clemson really put pressure on the shooters. In the NCAA tourney the officials will not allow that type of physical play.
You all have a good hump day.
P.S. I am looking forward to the Auburn / Duke game tonight. Should be a good one.
