He got named the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos this week. Maybe he’s what the ailing Broncos need. Their defense is playing well enough, but the defense is on the field for about two thirds of every game while the offense goes three and out, or turns the ball over. The team could use a little bit of offense. We had Osweiler before. A 2012 high draft choice, he studied under Peyton Manning for three years. He stood in for Manning while Manning was out for injury during the 2015 Super Bowl season and the team won five out of those seven games. Instead of taking over for Manning in 2016 though, Osweiler went for big money in Houston. He flopped there and he and his contract got traded to the Browns, who ended up cutting him. The Broncos took him back just before the start of this season to pace the sidelines carrying a clipboard again. He has had every experience he needs to now be a seasoned mature quarterback. He had success with a good Broncos team. He disappointed the next team he played for, and got cut by the next team after that. He shouldn’t come in for the Broncos and play like a rookie. He should lead the offense back to respectability. This is his opportunity.
Now our last Corpus trip is two weeks ago
Only another month and Judy will get another follow-up visit. She should be released from range-of-motion-only to strengthening exercises. A drive on the beach back then found: Snowy plover

We got our muggy weather back. 78% humidity! The hummingbird migration is over. We’re down to one hummingbird feeder and one hummingbird; a resident buff-bellied.
I thought the hummingbird food level was going down too fast for one bird though; no way he could eat that much. Then we discovered the problem.
A golden fronted woodpecker with a sweet tooth!
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.
