ships and cars, but neither CFB nor pickups

55° 96% here in Tallahassee this morning. It’s parents’ weekend at FSU, therefore in order to get a motel room for Friday night after Lincoln’s football game this evening we had to buy two nights, choosing Thursday and Friday. We’re at Staybridge Inn I-10, our favorite here. In a commercial park next to Jeremy’s office building, there’s pleasant walking area, a lake apparently loaded with fish, and a dock to stroll out on and sit on a bench with the setting sun to our backs. Each room has a full kitchen: we brought hotdogs, cooked for supper, and stayed right here. Saw a history of Apalachicola on History Channel, and Linda may have worked a crossword puzzle while I browsed The St Andrews Bay News from a hundred years ago when my grandparents, father and his siblings lived in The Old Place that we finally had to give up entering our eighties. Life is gratifyingly peaceable without a house of one’s own responsibility, my advice to who is fortunate enough to live into this age. It’s “to whom” for prepositional unless “who” begins as the nominative of a subordinate clause, in which case “to who”, nicht wahr.

The period full stop, American usage with quotation marks is weird and inconsistent.

In the real world, Lincoln High football this evening with my star flute player in the marching band.

In another world Michigan 6-2 with Michigan State as one of the two and Ohio State looming Thanksgiving weekend, Harbaugh not tearing CFB apart per the dream when he arrived. Go Blue. Go Hawkeyes. Go Gators. FSU the team I love to hate but not this year, nor today with Syracuse looking for a bowl chance, along with my hairball, I can cough up Go Noles this morning. Mac fired and Jimbo gets to keep his job, IDK, Shannon b.s.ing the best job he’s ever had is the one he’s got right now and not the one he’s not thinking about, not at all, not in the least, no really, no seriously. Except for a few, which is more than two but not many more than three, is the era of great football coaches over for a while? Be patient with Harbaugh. https://athlonsports.com/college-football/ranking-all-130-college-football-head-coaches-2017

This CFB season I’d rather do ships and cars, theology, and some pickups but not this one reducing a once-loved flag to the least common denominator of arrogant ignorance.
