Sunday morning was great! The weather was cool (mid 60's) with no rain in the forecast. On my way to the county park, I was able to shoot a photo of the morning sun just over the treetops lighting up the fog.

It had a shimmering effect as the humidity dissipated.



I was the first one at the model helicopter field and got 3 flights before anyone else arrived. Eight flights total so the morning was productive for me!

A beer snake, or cup snake, is the stacking of numerous plastic beer cups to form a "snake." Beer snakes are most commonly found at sporting events that are played out over many hours.

I'm pulling for K.C. to win. I'm not a fan, I just don't like Philly.

My prediction:

K.C. 27

Philly 20

Feel free to give who you're wanting to win, and the prediction outcome of the game, and your favorite commercial through tonight's game.

Feb 12, 2023, look for my Cincinnati Bengals to meet the San Francisco 49'ers in this years Super Bowl. The only times my Bengals went to the Super Bowl was in the 80's, in Jan. 1982 and Jan 1989. Both were against San Francisco. Last year my Bengals went to their third Super Bowl, and we played the L.A. Rams, who just knocked off San Fran. My Bengals lost again in that one, but now everything's coming together to get that sweet revenge I had been waiting for with a third meeting with San Fran.


Right now my Bengals will have to get past Kansas City this coming Sunday, and San Fran. will have to get past Philly.

Any football fans out there with any thoughts, feel free to share.

I'm going to say Ohio State, 35-21.

Why sailing is noble...


Sailing is noble because it destroys nothing, consumes nothing and displaces nothing. It doesn't kill, disturb or pollute; it alters no natural order. Sailing doesn't divide but connects, without even leave a trace; that's why sailing is infinite, just like the wind and the sea, and that's what makes sailing for ever noble. "Vivere non est necesse; navegare necesse est!" - Pompeius Magnus.

Anyone got a tip or two on the outcome of this game played in about 15 minutes from the placing of this blog?



Have a great weekend regardless.

For most athletes, Jesse Owens' performance one spring afternoon in 1935 would be the accomplishment of a lifetime. In 45 minutes, he established three world records and tied another.
Owens won four gold medals in the 1936 Olympics.

But that was merely an appetizer for Owens. In one week in the summer of 1936, on the sacred soil of the Fatherland, the master athlete humiliated the master race.

Owens' story is one of a high-profile sports star making a statement that transcended athletics, spilling over into the world of global politics. Berlin, on the verge of World War II, was bristling with Nazism, red-and-black swastikas flying everywhere. Brown-shirted Storm Troopers goose-stepped while Adolf Hitler postured, harangued, threatened. A montage of evil was played over the chillingly familiar Nazi anthem: "Deutschland Uber Alles."

This was the background for the 1936 Olympics. When Owens finished competing, the African-American son of a sharecropper and the grandson of slaves had single-handedly crushed Hitler's myth of Aryan supremacy.

He gave four virtuoso performances, winning gold medals in the 100- and 200- meter dashes, the long jump and on America's 4x100 relay team. Score it: Owens 4, Hitler 0.

A remarkably even-keeled and magnanimous human being, Owens never rubbed it in. Just as sure as he knew fascism was evil, he also knew his country had a ways to go too in improving life for African-Americans.

"When I came back to my native country, after all the stories about Hitler, I couldn't ride in the front of the bus," Owens said. "I had to go to the back door. I couldn't live where I wanted. I wasn't invited to shake hands with Hitler, but I wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the President, either."
