Today is Sunday, Jan. 14, the 14th day of 2018. There are 351 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Jan. 14, 1968, the Green Bay Packers of the NFL defeated the AFL's Oakland Raiders, 33-14, in the second AFL-NFL World Championship game (now referred to as Super Bowl II).
On this date:
In 1784, the United States ratified the Treaty of Paris ending the Revolutionary War; Britain followed suit in April 1784.
In 1898, author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson - better known as "Alice in Wonderland" creator Lewis Carroll - died in Guildford, Surrey, England, less than two weeks before his 66th birthday.
In 1900, Puccini's opera "Tosca" had its world premiere in Rome.
In 1927, the Paramount silent romantic comedy "It," starring Clara Bow (who became known as "The 'It' Girl"), had its world premiere in Los Angeles.
In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and French General Charles de Gaulle opened a wartime conference in Casablanca.
In 1953, Josip Broz Tito (YAW'-sihp brawz TEE'-toh) was elected president of Yugoslavia by the country's Parliament.
In 1963, George C. Wallace was sworn in as governor of Alabama with the pledge, "Segregation forever!" - a view Wallace later repudiated. Sylvia Plath's novel "The Bell Jar" was published in London under a pseudonym less than a month before Plath committed suicide.
In 1967, the Sixties' "Summer of Love" unofficially began with a "Human Be-In" involving tens of thousands of young people at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.
In 1969, 27 people aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, off Hawaii, were killed when a rocket warhead exploded, setting off a fire and additional explosions.
In 1975, the House Internal Security Committee (formerly the House Un-American Activities Committee) was disbanded.
In 1989, President Ronald Reagan delivered his 331st and final weekly White House radio address, telling listeners, "Believe me, Saturdays will never seem the same. I'll miss you."
In 1993, TV talk show host David Letterman announced he was moving from NBC to CBS.

Ten years ago: Republican Bobby Jindal, the first elected Indian-American governor in the United States, took office in Louisiana. Alvaro Colom was sworn in as Guatemala's first leftist president in more than 50 years.
Five years ago: Lance Armstrong ended a decade of denial by confessing to Oprah Winfrey during a videotaped interview that he'd used performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France. Veteran stage and film actor Conrad Bain, 89, died in Livermore, California.
One year ago: Donald Trump tore into civil rights legend and Georgia congressman John Lewis on Twitter for questioning the legitimacy of the Republican billionaire's White House victory. Protesters gathered in Washington and other cities to denounce the president-elect's anti-immigrant stance and his pledge to build a wall on the Mexican border. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying a payload of satellites blasted off from California, marking the company's first launch since a fireball engulfed a similar rocket on a Florida launch pad more than four months earlier.

I watched a little and thought Atlanta had this one. Then I saw the final score later on and was a bit surprised. Not that it was a high scoring game to begin with.

50° here Mark and not bad in the sun.
Got a rack of baby back ribs on the grill and diced potatoes seasoned with butter, garlic, and oregano to throw on later. Should be ready by 4-4:30, and I'm sure I'll need to make a propane run. Good thing there is an exchange station a few minutes away.
8-5-8 maduro robusto going while I cook.

All are welcome. There are no schedules here. You can post as often as you want or not at all.
Now I've got more important things to worry about, like whether the Steelers are gonna pull this one off.

Don't think so. Thought they had a defense?

Pulled within 3. They're always a 2nd half team but not enough today. Too bad because I really wanted them to take care of the Pats. I don't think Jacksonville is up to the challenge.

That Vikings win was something else. We could theoretically have a real home field advantage at the Superbowl this year.
I'm rooting for a Minnesota / Jacksonville big game. Probably not very good for ratings though.

Three out of the four QB's not been in the game before.
