fine looking Sunday

70 outside.....was 46 at sunrise.....might get up close to 80 by the middle of the afternoon.....I stayed up 'til midnight watching Texas win the pennant.....at one today it's the Panthers and the Falcons, the two "local" teams......it was funny yesterday watching the game a few blocks away at the college, the camera looked across the field to the puny little visitors bleachers.....which didn't have many people in them.....and behind that all you can see is the woods.....no buildings or town or what all, just the sticks.....an accurate representation of Clinton for the TV viewer......the Hose won the game.....it was Homecoming, so they said the crowd was around 5000? They gave away 1000 cowbells to the crowd, something like that.....for school spirit.....to make noise......they only have 1200 kids at PC, and the school they beat has 4700.....Go Hose! What a silly name......I was drinking Scotch in the spirit of our proud Scotch-Irish heritage.....according to the game announcers, a Blue Hose is a Scottish Warrior.....the mascot has this big ol' claymore to swing around and vanquish the foe......blue and white tartan, school colors.....and the Tigers and the 'Cocks also prevailed in their gridiron contests, so plenty of happy campers at the Waffle House this morning I suppose.....
