Just so I understand, who should toy manufacturers advertise to? The advertisers, the toy manufacturers, and the store employees need to make a living, too. Besides, I don't think it's such a bad thing for people to learn about disappointment at an early age.
Saints lead at halftime, 10-6, over Tampa but the Bucs get the ball to start the 2nd half. I don't like the new rule about allowing a team to "defer" their option after winning the coin toss. I think it's the ultimate lunacy to put strategy or advantage in something that couldn't be more arbitrary. Another arbitrary strategy/advantage is also on display in this one. A stadium without a roof has both teams playing in the rain on a wet field. Neither team can play their best game.
Notre Dame football: Deified when they're winning. 1001 excuses when they're losing. Some say they will have become just another football factory if they fire their head coach, Charlie Weis, before his contract is up. Says here they were never anything but.
I offer two busy pictures from the yard on this gorgeous CrabAppleLane Sunday. One works OK. The other not so much.

Quote from said blog: "At this point in his career, it seems like Kiffin leaving the Bucs would be nothing but talk, but the idea of coaching with his son may be enough to convince him."
haha Crazy parents.
I don't know, both those shots look good to me. At least compared to the half inch of snow outside my door this morning. Sorry about your Saints, how my Vikes are going to do is still up in the air, but it was a nice turnaround to end the half.
I like both shots, but I understand where you're coming from with the first one. Almost a bit too busy. As for "got rake?" No, I have "rot into the lawn after being chopped up by our lawn guy." Did enough raking in my youth to fill the Grand Canyon, I think!
Sorry about the Saints, though. Hate to see them lose a lead.
Amazing, isn't it, Kim? It's been going on since TV was invented yet now it's a problem?
Yeah, I'll take both over a half inch of snow, Dave. Vikes are in control. Saints are pretty much out of the running for the playoffs now. Even if they get all of the help they need over the last 4 weeks of the season, they cannot put up a consistent performance from week to week to take advantage of it.
Thanks, Lana. I don't do the rake thing, either. I'll run over most of them with the lawn mower or tractor and I'll vacuum some for mulch.
