I had to make a trip into town today, so I thought I would stop by the office of our local snoozepaper, the one with a one year subscription for 25 bucks I mentioned yesterday. This is the same newspaper I canceled eleven years ago, just before they went to mail delivery. Lo and beholdContinue reading “Urinalism”

Football is back
Coffeyville CC smoked Highland at home Saturday night 37-0. High school starts Friday. The Parsons Sun/Chanute Tribune comes out with their football preview edition tomorrow. Our local papers, I have no idea. Last time, they came out with it Saturday after high schools started play. I guess no one told them pre means before. ThisContinue reading “Football is back”
Rain at last
We finally got a decent rain. It won’t change our drought status, but the fall garden will survive.
The Urinal called.
I got a letter from our local rag wanting me to resubscribe. They are offering a year (104 issues) for 25 dollars. I haven’t subscribed since they had home delivery over a decade ago. They must be desperate enough to do anything except put news in a newspaper. The paper is so bad even gettingContinue reading “The Urinal called.”
Football has arrived
The junior college season begins tonight and high schools had scrimmages last night. Scrimmages are new to Kansas, this year’s seniors played without a scrimmage their freshman year. In Kansas three or four teams play at one site. In a three team scrimmage each team runs 18 plays against each of the others. In aContinue reading “Football has arrived”
Wally World sale
Many retailers, including Wally World got caught holding too much of the wrong goods and are having selective sales together rid of excess inventory. Ask me how I walked off with a 7 cubic foot freezer for under 400 dollars even after our outrageous sales tax. Most of the sales have been on the generalContinue reading “Wally World sale”
AFLW debuts this weekend
The AFL home and away season has ended and the finals teams are off this weekend. The AFL has made a smart move by letting the women debut this weekend. The AFLW will have a ten week season with finals in November. Now that every AFL team has an AFLW counterpart, maybe they can haveContinue reading “AFLW debuts this weekend”
Hurry rain, hurry
The long term forecast calls for rain, maybe even enough to lower our drought status. The next three days are supposed to be sunny and cooler especially in the mornings. Tomorrow might be the last chance to ride the bike to work for a couple of weeks.
Fall garden, Part two
With the cooler temperatures this week, I will plant more beans and peas tomorrow. I might throw some kale in an unused bed, but will probably wait a week or two. If I get time I might prepare a ground bed for strawberries next spring.
AFL finals are set.
With the regular season done, a week off before the finals begin. Geelong will play Collingwood and Melbourne will host Sydney in a lose and you still get a home game but not a week off scenario. Meanwhile, Richmond travels to Brisbane and the Western Bulldogs go really west to take on Fremantle in aContinue reading “AFL finals are set.”
