Oregon Duck's are #1 in the college football rankings.
Alabama is #2.

There are some schools of thought that the ducks don't have as hard a schedule as Alabama and don't deserve to be #1 but then there are those of us who think that they are beating some of the best teams out there so...they deserve it & would win in a championship game.

Actually Auburn (the other football team in Alabama) is #2. Alabama is #6.
As for the strength of schedule, Boise is the team that does not compare. Oregon's is not that far off. They did jump Auburn which means the game with Oregon and USC was stronger than the one with Auburn and Ole Miss. Oregon has one heck of a team and I hope the running back wins the Heisman, but probably it will be Cam Newton. The only two game that matter right now are Oregon and Oregon State and Alabama and Auburn. Ducks and Tide win they play for the championship, Ducks and Auburn wins they do. OS wins who the heck knows.

Chet, we only had carry on bags with us, along with the one suitcase, and both carry-ons were full

Afternoon everyone...session got rescheduled from this morning, but had a nice opportunity to talk with the new makeup artist/hairstylist that I hope to be able to use fairly often. I think we'll get along well.

Makes for a nice break for you. Glad you like the new hair stylist and make up artist.

No kidding. About an hour ago, Larry, our pet Wooly Mammoth that we thawed out from one of the Mt. Hood glaciers last Spring (boy, is THAT a story), went on a rampage and flattened our neighbor's house. No, really, FLATTENED the house. It's partly my fault as I haven't been able take him out for a walk lately. I can't take him to the dog parks anymore, not after the Chihuahua incident in August. Anyway, the neighbor lady is upset, obviously, because she doesn't have a Wooly Mammoth rider on her home insurance (like that's MY fault?). So now Larry, who just acts like a big puppy, is having a time out in our backyard. Poor little guy's all upset, doesn't understand. He's in some pain, too, because he had a microwave stuck in his footpad. I took it out, but it's a little swollen. Neighbor Lady didn't seem to care about that AT ALL.

Love the way you think Dan

It's no wonder our kids are growing up so blasted ignorant. I see posts on FB from kids...they can't spell, they don't use punctuation. They use wrong words...and text speak for real life...

I can't tell you how happy I am when I hear here that parents are still reading to their kids, or have instilled a love of reading in them. You wouldn't believe how many kids I talk to who say "books? why?" or something of the like...

I wonder why language is so fluid (considering how they used to speak/write)...

sigh. /end rant.

We have seen job applications and resumes in text speak

oh you are right, I do get them confused.
Have you heard about the current "Cam Newton" scandal? If it plays out this year (and the committee doesn't drag their heels about it) it looks bad for Auburn & Cam.

And either way it is some great football for us to watch!!

What is the Cam scandal??

I just got home, Billy and Eli are out for the day (eli had no school yesterday and today for some sort of teacher's convention) and haven't returned. I never get the house to myself...YAY!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!

Ol Miss reported his supposed agent (that part is up in the air) who told them that it would cost them $150000 to $200000 to get him. Mississippi state passed and reported the situation. Auburn says they didn't pay anything for him. Cam's dad said they didn't take anything etc....but the SEC is investigating.

wow!

enjoy it Crissa

I don't think it is anything but Urban Meyer starting rumors. The investigation has been going on since Jully. The NCAA will not rule until the end of the season if it is against Cam/Auburn; that would be to big of a mess.

I have similar images from the trip down the coast from Carmel to Morro Bay. They're just not processed yet.

Glad to report that after 24 hours of some very scary times, our Brandy is back on the path to recovery.

We have something very similar, its called a National Insurance Number.

We have a Social Insurance Number (SIN).
Naughty, eh?

My dad had the most perfect signature. Seriously. His cursive writing was just like the primers we used in second grade. All in a line, perfectly curled... he even used the "Q" that looked like the number 2.

He would always despair over my writing. My signature, even when I did it slow, was, and is, illegible.

My dad had the worst writing. I saw some of his writing from his childhood and teens, but losing his right arm (the one he wrote with) at 19 screwed that up. He just never caught on good with his left hand, though he still used it very well for other things.

Thanks for the good chuckle, Larry sounds like a fun guy to have at a party.

I know people who just courier all they baggage overnight. That way they don't have to handle it at all. Not a bad idea if you have the money to burn.

Talk about determination. Wow.
