Football game closed to fans.

In Delaware, Friday’s game between Seaford and Laurel was closed to most of the public because of alleged threats of violence. As the home team Laurel allowed one or two parents/guardians if they were in Lauren’s database and had photo ID. Seaford was only allowed to have players and coaches at the game. This has been a thing in Tulsa for years, but this was u heard of in rural Delaware.

Neewollah peaks

With the food vendors and carnival rides arriving in Indy, traffic will be relatively high in the downtown area for the next three nights. Unfortunately, I will have to deal with it going to work. With Maple St. closed for construction, Main St. is the only practical option to get to work. I could ride the bike if Maple St was open, but West Main St. is not pedestrian or bicycle friendly. Neither is Maple St. but traffic volume is so low it doesn’t matter.

Halloween is done, Christmas is here.

When I got off work yesterday morning, the Halloween displays were coming down, the Thanksgiving displays were going up and the Christmas stuff was coming in. All is normal at Walmart.

I wanted to get a turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I am trying to clean out my freezer for the side of beef that should arrive in two weeks. With the long term weather forecast being what it is, I see a lot of stews and roasts in my future. With the supply chain being what it is, I want to have plenty of food on hand.

Rain lets up in time for Neewollah.

We got an inch and half of rain yesterday and this morning. It looks like clear weather for the rest of the week. The Queen Neelah events were held inside and the rest of the festival is outdoors. The creek beds are wet, but no water is flowing through them yet. Likewise the local spring is still not flowing. This rain was enough to help the farmers plant winter wheat, but to end the drought we will need snow that melts slowly.
