The Sunday Post

actually , a Sunday post

The Crimson Tide defense lost to Arkansas , last night , 24 to 14. unfortunately , they make you play the whole team in the SEC
Thus ' the Tide rolled '.
The Crimson defense leads in almost every category

Weather in the Big Smoke , fall like w/ a chance of showers.

I'm off to visit  the Giant Tiger , read here , the dollar store on steroids. I go for the name brands and save approx 10 % on names such as Dole , Smuckers , Campbells etc.

Anything for a deal , for me.

Our favourite expression at poker ( or one of )
'  the cheapness keeps me in  '    which generally , leads to poor results '

Sleep and then ............5:30

.... the 'buds for a 1/2 hr , fell asleep , again

Discovered that I've avoided ' text neck ' by being old and a techno - fraidy cat. Yepper , text neck , constantly looking down at the phone.
I found that ' Apple life ' magazine. Recall , highlighted people had over a 100 apps on their phone.

Canada is # 16 in the world , health rankings. Way ahead of the U.S. at 50 out of 55. This ranking is despite 17.3 % of GDP spent on health.
Hong Kong led w/ a 83 yrs of age , life expectancy.
You don't want to live in Russia w/ a 70 yr average life expectancy.
16 th sounds just super , to us. We don't want to be Hong Kong.

We are wondering if our Savannah rental got flooded out.

Weather : poured last night and its 60 out there in the AM. Weatherboy is dressed in pants and sweater.

For the Sake of the Thing Itself

questioning the purpose

This blog is a long lived entity , the running total is 1 483 posts
I've mentioned before that most blogs seem to run under a year
go fitful
and then stop

What keeps this blog going
Impetus ?
A powerful force in nature
An object in motion remains in motion

Therapy for me ?
writing to the void
Compulsive something or other

weather
sunny / blue skies and a humidex reading

Found this post under drafts
Its out of order , obviously

To: K. Adelphi

Welcome to the blog , sorry the deal for the house fell through

Weather is glorious , fall in full swing

This AM was mega work time
1.  tossed a shower seat from 2004 , originally bought for my father as  he recuperated from surgery. Dirty and soiled - it was time
I cut the plastic seat in three chunks to fit the garbage can

2. 3 lights in the kitchen overhead rack blew - brought in the 10 ft step ladder and switched out the bulbs which are 50 W halogen.

3. cupboard clean out. Dry goods w/ past due , best before dates got tossed. Rolled oats , barley , rice ,  graham cracker crumbs etc

Banner day for accomplishment

Yeah !  

The remainder of the day .... ??????????????

Dunno , but sure am in the mood for stuff

'nuff said

We shall see said the Zen master

4. Took a load of clothes , electronics , tapes and DVDs to GoodWill for salvage ( at noon )

Feel really good about to -day

From the UK

Our visitors leave to - day and head home to England.
cousin Tony in his debut on the 'bee came up w/ a over limit walleye ( 21 in ) 
the host got a bass
but I caught it , my way , throwing a stick bait

I started w/ a curly tail grub in pearl. Next , came a blue stick bait and several small bass were interested.

Went bigger and the largemouth slammed the brown worm

The news has the announcement that Briton will trigger the Exit from the EU , March 2017. And no one has a clue what the fallout will be. For any country in Europe.

The weather is up and down but rain was the threat for most days w/ winds brisk but the temperatures were mild for late September.
This trend continues w/ an Indian summer pop up in temperatures due ,followed by a cooling
