Evie Day 228
Good morning, and a happy Monday to you all. Today is 30 October 2023.
Tomorrow is Halloween. This will likely mark the 5th straight Halloween with no one coming to our door and saying “Trick or Treat”, with the possible exception of my granddaughter, who will end up costumed as a pumpkin. Living out in the country has its advantages and disadvantages, and being secluded enough to hide from kids in scary costumes is a side effect.
This weekend was an opportunity for some streaks to end. The Kansas City Chiefs ended a streak of sixteen straight wins over the Denver Broncos, as a flu-sickened Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ offense turned the ball over five times and never looked in sync. The Kansas Jayhawk basketball team lost a pre-season exhibition game, and looked okay in the loss – I’m not too worried about it, as it doesn’t show up on the books – one of the game conditions was that no one fouled out, and I have a feeling several players would have if they had tallied the fouls. But… the big one… the University of Kansas Jayhawks pulled off a win over the Oklahoma Sooners for the first time since 1997. It was very nice giving the Sooners a going-away present as they leave the Big 12 Conference and head to the SEC next season.
I have a central time zone security class that will start in a couple of hours. I don’t mind the East Coast times, but after the early start with those classes, it’s nice to get back to a central time zone class… makes for a little slower start in the mornings, and a chance to enjoy an extra cup of coffee before the festivities start.
Might be time to get a pot of coffee dripping.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
