     In south Florida, if the temperature gets below 70, the winter gear is   
   out in force.    
      
    GP> Like those who pray for their team to win, not understanding that the   
    GP> other team's fans aredoing the same for theirs to win, & that the God   
    GP> of fairness is just going to sit back & let the best-trained team do   
    GP> what it trained for.   
      
     Yep. And the one who prepared and practiced the best, and "finishes" their   
   assignments, will win the game. But, you have to play the entire game...as   
   things have happened on the final play of the game. The perfect example was   
   the Auburn-Alabama Iron Bowl a few years ago, dubbed "The Kick Six". Alabama   
   had one second left on the clock, and was going to kick a long field goal to   
   win. The kick was short, and the Auburn player caught it in the end zone.   
   Before Alabama realized what happened, the Auburn player ran it back 100   
   yards for the winning touchdown.   
      
    GP> One time a guy asked their clergyman if the other teanm's vicar's big   
    GP> prayer would help & he replied, "Only if the QB doesn't screw up his   
    GP> passes."   
      
     Or when the coach asked the quarterback if he could pass a football,    
   the kid groaned "Only if I can swallow it". :P   
      
    GP> Cronyism at its worst! Or they have 2 public positions each earning 6   
    GP> figures, simultaneously.   
      
     And, they wonder why we're so in debt.    
      
    GP> We're due our second monsoon this weekend, so I'm going to enjoy being   
    GP> holed up,. eating turkey! (Finally found a bird at my butcher, he   
    GP> knocked $30 off the price for me, so we could finally afford one first   
    GP> time all year --we've been craving it -- we'll have a full turkey feast   
    GP> tonight)   
      
     I talked to a couple of fellow ham radio operators, and they said they   
   were having lasagna. I immediately drooled all over the keyboard. :P   
      
    GP> The entire Fraser River's valley's flood plains are flooded(hmm. . .   
    GP> something in that name), except for my city (we're the only ones, even   
    GP> though 2 feet below sea level, to be above water all week! Good city   
    GP> council ordering work on the dikes recently, & upgrades to the pumps, &   
    GP> staff for getting it all done!)   
        
     I talked to a couple of hams in western Canada, and they reported on   
   how bad it was.
