Sacked out!

Wood-in weather

A beagle, some Vikings

Angela, knocked

Rosemary, taking a break during Sunday's football viewing!

Odd odds

A tree was blocking the Direct TV satellite where football is watched and the Direct TV Guy said they would be back on Monday to put in a new not-obsolete dish thingy. In the event, he actually came back out with a co-hort on Sunday and games were had and no one had to go to some family-friendly pub establishment to see the Vikings fuck up.

Here's the odd thing, though: the prior Direct TV dish was installed on 9/11/2001 (Kyle remembered the install guy then saying he had an aunt or someone who worked in there and that he hoped she got out. We hope so, too, Digital TV Guy of The Past!)!

The replacement was installed ten years later, to the day.

AND the guy who installed it was Marvin Bush! Probably.

NFL

I picked the Saints, to be contrary.

Football is go

All has been discussed and there will be NFL package and there will be snacks.

I could blanch at the 100 buck throw-in, but why? I'm obviously going to win the pool every other week.

ALSO, Joe Webb got a twenty yard TD the other night. Just frickin' saying:

Caring about your neighborhood pays off, once in a million years

We took a walk around the block last night, popped in on neighbors, saw Daisy and Rosemary...very relaxing and grown-up seeming. The particular stretch we stopped on, one street over, has three homes on the neighborhood Home Tour at the end of April, so I thought, as the wimmen folk done talked, I would peruse the alley that runs perpendicular to this block of homes and see just how much effort/manpower/trash bags would be needed to clean it up a smidge. Well, it will be a bit of a pip, but it can be done in an afternoon. But, in some overgrown grass behind a derelict detached garage, I found this, surely the greatest grass find since Jeff Beaumont found the ear: I mean, huh? There must have been some sort of accident with time travel or a particle collider or some shit! Plus the backing is still on it. Very curious! It is now pinned up in my workspace.

Scenes from the KDCC

It's all too much for a baby chicken!

The girls!

Rosemary gets into the swing of 2011 sans eye-protecting cone! Full recovery!

Daisy/Doozl, were she not sawing dog logs, would gladly say "Seriously, I cannot remember being this cozy in all my five months alive!"

Adult cheese!

Christie and Julie brought over adult cheese and fresh fruit for football shenanigans!

Look!
