You would think

 That getting 11 out of 12 games right would be good enough to win a stupid football pool, but nooo…. 11 out of 12 right was just good enough for Judy to get first loser.  Somebody (John) got ALL of them right!

The football pool

 I’m pretty careful with my picks.  I pay attention to won/loss record, power rankings, whether they’re home or away, and whether each team is trending up or down.  Judy on the other hand tends to pick the team she’d like to win. We track our results.  So far this week I have 6 out of 11 games picked correctly.  Judy is 10 out of 11 and her pick in the Sunday night game is leading in the fourth quarter. Go figure.

What the

 Just as the weather was getting a little more mild, another minor front came through.  The breeze is back from the north and the temperature dropped from the mid-eighties into the seventies.  By time to grill the chicken for dinner, it had dropped into the sixties!  It was brutal.  I had to put on long sleeves and stand close to the fire! Last week’s trip to Corpus got us a herd of white-tailed deer in the dunes.  And a sand crab (ghost crab). Or two!

Fall weather sets in

 The days are still warm, with highs in the mid-eighties.  The nights are cold though (for us), with lows in the fifties and sixties.  No more eighty-degree coffee on the deck mornings for us!  Humidity is low too; about 30 percent, but that’s only because the breeze is from the north right now.  We’ll get our humidity back when the prevailing winds shift around from the southeast. We went to the dermatologist yesterday.  She was busy making dots on us with the liquid nitrogen can when all of a sudden I realized she was drawing lines! Cool stuff happening at work.  Cool projects around the house.  Our days are full. We got Henry a new bed for the front window. So far all he’s done is push it out of the way.
