Happy Tuesday! In between insults we'll occasionally discuss cigars. Join in and perhaps learn something along the way. Warning: don't proceed if you have thin skin but don't be afraid to post either... And welcome aboard!

Ouch. I took a look at the end of the half and it was close but you all were on the right side of it. Looks like the wheels fell off in the 2nd half. Sorry to see that.

Kids staying home today because of the heat. The school district they're in cancelled classes, which means the buses aren't running. Despite that, our schools decided to stay open, despite the fact that their own handbook says they'll be closed when the main district closes. Heat index today up to 98 and a air quality alert to boot, with most of the schools not having AC, and they figured they'd keep the schools open. Well, the wife said fuck that, so they're getting an extended weekend.

The oldest is still blissfully unaware of her good fortune. She'll figure it out eventually, maybe when the sun comes into her room and she wakes up in a panic. :D

Panic will subside and joy will take over. Something to look forward to.

Hey, Kent State lost as well, so I could've easily been talking about myself. Though, we were in cupcake mode against UCF, so we weren't really expecting to win.

It was worse than that. As far as stats we were ahead of them in every category. Can't miss two short field goals and fumble the ball twice on the one yard line and expect good things .Add to that a lot of arm tackling, zone pass defense and no pass rush. It was not pretty.

Today is Tuesday, Sept. 5, the 248th day of 2023.
There are 117 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Sept. 5, 1774, the first Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia.
On this date:
In 1698, Russia’s Peter the Great imposed a tax on beards.
In 1864, voters in Louisiana approved a new state constitution abolishing slavery.
In 1939, four days after war had broken out in Europe, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued a proclamation declaring U.S. neutrality in the conflict.
In 1960, at the Rome Olympics, American boxer Cassius Clay (later Muhammad Ali) defeated Zbigniew Pietrzykowski (zuh-BIG’-nee-ehf pee-eht-chah-KAHF’-skee) of Poland to win the light-heavyweight gold medal; Wilma Rudolph of the United States won the second of her three gold medals with the 200-meter sprint.
In 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed legislation making aircraft hijackings a federal crime.
In 1972, the Palestinian group Black September attacked the Israeli Olympic delegation at the Munich Games, killing 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team and a police officer. German forces killed five of the gunmen.
In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford escaped an attempt on his life by Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, a disciple of Charles Manson, in Sacramento, California.
In 1986, four hijackers who had seized a Pan Am jumbo jet on the ground in Karachi, Pakistan, opened fire when the lights inside the plane failed; a total of 20 people were killed before Pakistani commandos stormed the jetliner.
In 1991, the 35th annual Naval Aviation Symposium held by the Tailhook Association opened in Las Vegas; during the four-day gathering, there were reports that dozens of people, most of them women, were sexually assaulted or otherwise harassed. (The episode triggered the resignation of Navy Secretary H. Lawrence.)
In 1997, Mother Teresa died in Calcutta, India, at age 87.
In 2016, Hugh O’Brian, the actor who shot to fame as Sheriff Wyatt Earp in what was hailed as television’s first adult Western, died in Beverly Hills, California, at age 91.
In 2012, Barack Obama was nominated to run for a second term at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.
In 2018, the New York Times published an opinion piece from an anonymous senior administration official claiming to be part of an internal “resistance” working to thwart President Donald Trump’s “worst inclinations;” Trump responded that if such a “gutless” person exists, “the Times must, for National Security purposes, turn him/her over to the government at once!”

You should be able to scrape at least 1 win there. ;)

If you haven't already seen it, you should check out "The Great" on Hulu. Was just recently canceled after 3 seasons, but it's quite funny.

That was me, I don't separate them. I don't have time for that.

Tony - if you happen to be free on 10/7, Nate and I are talking about coming into PA that day for a couple of the CF store events. I assume you'll have some sort of sports things to attend to, but thought I'd mention it nonetheless.

Gary Wright, a singer best known for his 1970s hits ‘Dream Weaver’ and ‘Love is Alive,’ reportedly passed away at the age of 80. Wright passed on Monday morning in his home located in Palos Verdes Estates, California.

Natural post counts, not artificially inflated ones.

Looking good with regard to soccer. Need to check the football/cheer and fall baseball schedules next. Unfortunately, I don't have those and will have to confer with the Mrs.

There is a league for those that aren't interested in playing soccer or football. Essentially, there are a bunch of scrimmages. No real baseball is being played but my sons both want to do it.

Got a message from the school that they are backlogged in processing absences from today. I imagine their classes were awfully sparse today.

At least I don't have to leave shortly to pick them up, so bonus for me.

You should have told them that you personally dropped the kids off this morning and how dare they only call you now? If something happens you will hold them fully responsible.

And if the homeroom teacher messes up, or there's a sub who doesn't know everyone, they can be marked as absent even though they're there. Got that call several times last year, and I'd have to call and tell them, in fact, my child IS there, then wait while they confirm it.
