Bits and Pieces

-Tuesday Afternoon Scramble start time: 4:45.  Bring a jacket - might get a bit cool before we finish as the temperatures start their drop into the 30's by the next dawn.
-Colts win!  Listened to it on the radio and, from what the Colt announcers were reporting, guess the guys in the stripped shirts were absolutely atrocious.  Son Marty and his lady Laura were in attendance cheering on the guys in blue and white.
-See that Randy Moss is out of a job.  Think he would be a good fit in Indy?  At least for a while as the Colt receivers recover from all their various ailments?
-Giants win!  One grooved pitch by Lee was all they needed to take out the Texans, wrap up the Series, and head into an off season of hunting and fishing and catching up with their families.  So, how long has it been since the Giants last won a WS?  Haven't won since they moved to California; so, does that mean 1954, the year of the Willie Mays catch?  (I remember racing home from high school - St. Joe's up in South Bend - and watching the games, and the over-the-shoulder catch that's we've all seen at least a thousand times since then.)  Yup - was 1954.  Long time for such a storied franchise.  Yea, I know, not half as long as another one of those storied franchises, the Chicago Cubs.  Their time will come, right?
-In case you missed it, Tiger Woods is no longer the #1 male golfer in the world.  Oh well...  He'll have something to say about that starting this Thursday over in Shanghai (the most populous city proper in the world!) at the HSBC Champions Tournament.  Go Tiger.
-Heading out to vote but first to Jim and Wilma's to drop off some money for all those free throws Colin Nelson made (86% - 86 out of a 100) for LHS athletes.
