Sunday Not A Day Of Rest But Turbulence

I just ordered my stove wood for the upcoming winter heating season here at the office. I am trying to remember what split, dry oak is up to now -- I think it's $65 per face cord. I ordered six face cord. That has always been more than enough, as I am burning my way through the last of last year's right now.

I do have a gas furance, but I am hoping to use that sparingly by keeping the wood stove going 24 hours a day. I find that if I can remember to get over here about 10PM each night, cram the stove full, and damper down, I can come over in the morning to a still warm situation and enough glowing coals that coaxed along with some chunks of bark will get the fire going for the day.

I keep the thermostat set at 60 degrees and probably should low it to 45 degrees as I have in past winters, as that tends to motivate me further into being a responsible fire man.

Here it is -- Sunday and still no Packer game! Monday night in Denver. ESPN and in high def. I'll be glued to the set. I caught the HBO pundits picks for the game earlier this week. Everybody but Bob Costas is picking the Denver Broncos to win.

I have been doing my homework, reading Packer blogs, etc, and I predict a Packer win, even without the help of newly activated Koren Robinson who has been practicing all week but exhibiting a great deal of soreness.

I say this is Deshawn Wynn's week to establish himself as our leading rusher. He's a big kid and I like what I have seen from him so far. To my way of thinking, it is just a matter of time before the running back/zone blocking starts to really click.

I hope I am not just whistling in the dark.

I also know that Brett became a bit testy at his interview after the Washington Redskins game over the fact that he failed to connect with open receivers.

Anytime you challenge Brett's ability to play, the next opponent is in for an exhibition of proof.

Whoever wrote this added:

Quite an impressive list! Pass this on. Let the public
become aware of what happens to friends of the
Clinton's.
HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT?

Wow! Bill and Hillary make the Sopranos look like boy scouts! If all this is true, don't you think it will come out if she is nominated by the democrats?

Personally, I would like someday to see a woman president, but I don't like Hillary because she is such a "politician" and I don't mean that in a good way.

I am backing Arizona Governor Bill Richardson, a straightforward voice of truth, who consequently, won't stand a chance in hell of winning the nomination.
