One more....

Another one.
No long exposition, just an appreciation.

One of these:

missed the boat. Sit at the box, wait a few minutes, watch the service mamils get the order ahead of mine wrong a few times (for some unknown reason I was watching orders ahead of mine appear on the Magic Order Monitor), wait, break down and go inside, listen to the person who was behind me order and bitch about how long I took at the window, wait, listen as she adds "just something else" to her order, wait, get permanently pissed and leave.

Sleigh bells ring

I'm so glad footbal season is over. Or at least almost over.
Why?
Because this is next:






Why does that interest anyone? In the larger sense it simply won't. But, It means I can come in from the cold and work inside until spring. After the wind, rain, sleet and cold that I worked in last Saturday, I'm ready to stay indoors for a bit.
As an experiment, I'm ready to ask how the writers would cope.

Football Fantasy

November 10 and the high school football season isn't finished yet. For a few local teams anyway. Mars, Moniteau, Karns City.

Heading into week twelve, these three continue, but being reduced by one or two this weekend depending on the breaks. Along with that I'll probably be out of the house for the 5th consecutive Saturday night. Win lose or draw, there will be one more - a Week 13 game. As if one seasonal record isn't enough, I've seen 17 games this season so far, which will increase to another seasonal record of 20

To paraphrase the old song;

The car knows the way,
to carry the sleigh.
Through the white and drifting snow.
Over the river and through the woods.

Ok, so I overstated the sleigh part.
