    First plane ride/snow !

    My first plane ride was in about 1964 in an Ozark Airlines DC3. Pretty exciting at the time. You haven't flown til you've ridden a DC3.

    About 30 years ago or so I took my 6 year old nephew fishing. I lived in Iowa and he lived in Chicago and his parents said all he talked about was going fishing with Uncle Bassman. I took him to a local lake with a tub of red worms (which I knew would get a lot of action) and we went to work...

    NFL Week - 17

    Yeah, it was petty clear none of the players wanted to continues. I looked up the 71 game and they did complete it but there was only 1:02 left in the 4th quarter. Not quite the same.

    2022 Pigskin Pick ‘em

    Whoa! Just old and sleepy I guess. I just checked to see who I'd picked in Vikes/Packers and saw I hadn't made any of them!! In time to pick the Sunday and Monday night games. Decided I better check in here quick. Other than my mind just working now and then, I'm well. Still taking nourishment.

    Big 10 refs are not allowed to call holding on OSU and Michigan. If they want to get paid.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Hah! Yeah, I guess that's right. Although for most of the country, "Nearly Winter" and "Winter" are largely indistinguishable.

    They have 2 seasons - winter and 6 weeks of bad sledding.

    I'd say at least wait until after the funeral (Monday). But, your call.

    Well, Kinnick stadium sold out season tickets fairly early this year so I guess there were a lot of folks who had more confidence than I did. Maybe I'm just a grouch.

    Hey, he can still go to the Rose Bowl if he wants. He surely didn't think the Hawkeyes would be there did he?

    Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II Dies at 96

    Seriously? You live in the US where a few million families are bestowed with privilege and wealth based on birthright. It's the American way.

    Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II Dies at 96

    Well, sad to hear but she had a great run and was doing pretty well up until that last few weeks or so. I've had several relatives make it into their mid to late 90s and none of them did near as well as HMQ. I don't know if I've ever posted this here but Elizabeth II's coronation was the SECOND...

    Yeah but their claim to fame is their offense which our defense pretty much squashed flat. They spent most of the game deep in their own territory, sent there by our excellent punter and kept there by our excellent defense. Our Aussie punter put 7 out of 10 punts inside the 20 including at least...
