my version, unverified
" Like a Crimson Tide the Alabama football 11 rolled over the hapless Georgia Tech team "
Yepper, one sportswriter made the comment
And
A legend was born
Roll . Tide . Roll the dynasty lives on
The aftermath : let us take time to digest what happened
How does this win affect the Saban mythos
Nick Saban would prefer his wife, Terrys pasta sauce over pizza
I'm happy about the Alabama win
The weather was fine. Cool breeze ( not wind ) sun and blue sky
after a fitful morning
We'll take what we can get

Low Tech Meets Hi Tech
or Neanderthal finds the sublime
??????????????
The story from here : our U.S. cell phones are $ 20 UMX ( manufacturer ) phones, the scuttlebutt is that UMX is a Chinese firm but there is no proof. Right.
The UMX works for calls and texts but internet is very dodgy. Still, using Tracfone ( the carrier and owner of the phone ) we pay $ 200 a year for service. And roll over approx 1 500 minutes a year. We can call China and complain straight to UMX if thats where they are.
Yesterday, the phone doesn't turn on. The phone charged all night.
The charge lights work but otherwise, Nada ! I tried ' soft reset ' by holding power and volume ' down ' button simultaneously. Nope.
Finally, on the tech help forum, I find this tidbit : ' remove the battery and SIM card and any other SD card. First bend the battery and then bend the phone '
No kidding ! Bend but do not break. Now, I've got $ 20 invested in this phone. Here goes. Bend the battery and put it back in
Yes, the phone turns on.
Incredible
I lost internet function but that was a crapshoot at best
The warmth came home or to us. Not fantastic but life giving
Bend the battery Bend the battery
Come on
Bend the battery ?
Bend it ?

still on the Horizon
or they say the warmth is coming
XXXXX fingers
All things come to those who wait
not in time
but they come
Be of good cheer
Why ?
B/c the alternatives are horrible
The warmth has tried to sneak in, sort of got its toe in the door
barely

on the Horizon
warmth
The promise is there, relief from the cold mass sitting on the continent
Looking good is half the battle
Being good is the other

and the Blog Goes On
Reporting absolutely nothing
You can read the news elsewhere
Well, whats ahead for the year 2018
Dunno
Que Sera, Que Sera is the motto for the year
Buddhistically, we accept all
as the way of Life
If your a Fatalist ( mostly, an Islamic belief system - the future is written ) or as they say constantly in ' Lawrence of Arabia ' - ' it was his time, Orence ( how the locals pronounced, Lawrence ) '
" We shall see " said the Zen master
" Could be bad, could be good - hard to tell "
I'm waxing a little philosophical for some reason
However, beats the dickens out of re - hashing the days ' news '

Ho Ho Ho
oops !
Wrong holiday
Happy New Year, y ' all
Keep your long johns on and wait and pray
The weatherman proposed an upside to the massive cold basin sitting over us. System lows cannot build, thus there is no precipitation
The rain isn't stupid, it doesn't want to freeze to death
