First one is done. One more school drop-off to go. Bunch of other errands and doctors appointments today too. Gotta remember to go fill up the car.

When I'm done with work, I have to take the oldest to a sleepover then go to the DMV to renew some plates. But I'll be at the start of a 5-day weekend, so I don't mind.

I just found out we're hosting a second Thanksgiving with 15 people on Saturday. I thought I was chillin' this weekend.

I'm only speculating here but it seems ClemsonDave loved Italy so much that he went back.

Steelers fired Matt Canada, their offensive coordinator. He seemed like a good dude. I'm not sure who these teams are looking to appease with having these scapegoats.

Well, in their defense, the offense has been pretty terrible since he came on a couple years ago. Something's gotta give eventually.

I mean, despite their winning record, they've been outgained in every single game so far this year. Which speaks volumes of the defense, but eventually, you have to score some points, too.

Today is Tuesday, Nov. 21, the 325th day of 2023.
There are 40 days left in the year.
Today’s highlight
On Nov. 21, 1980, 87 people died in a fire at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.
On this date
In 1789, North Carolina became the 12th state to ratify the U.S. Constitution.
In 1920, the Irish Republican Army killed 12 British intelligence officers and two auxiliary policemen in the Dublin area; British forces responded by raiding a soccer match, killing 14 civilians.
In 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Air Quality Act.
In 1969, the Senate voted down the Supreme Court nomination of Clement F. Haynsworth, 55-45, the first such rejection since 1930.
In 1973, President Richard Nixon’s attorney, J. Fred Buzhardt, revealed the existence of an 18-1/2-minute gap in one of the White House tape recordings related to Watergate.
In 1979, a mob attacked the U-S Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan, killing two Americans.
In 1980, an estimated 83 million TV viewers tuned in to the CBS prime-time soap opera “Dallas” to find out “who shot J.R.” (The shooter turned out to be J.R. Ewing’s sister-in-law, Kristin Shepard.)
In 1985, U.S. Navy intelligence analyst Jonathan Jay Pollard was arrested and accused of spying for Israel. (Pollard later pleaded guilty to espionage and was sentenced to life in prison, but was released in 2015.)
In 1990, junk-bond financier Michael R. Milken, who had pleaded guilty to six felony counts, was sentenced by a federal judge in New York to 10 years in prison. (Milken served two.)
In 1995, Balkan leaders meeting in Dayton, Ohio, initialed a peace plan to end 3 1/2 years of ethnic fighting in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
In 2001, Ottilie Lundgren, a 94-year-old resident of Oxford, Connecticut, died of inhalation anthrax; she was the apparent last victim of a series of anthrax attacks carried out through the mail system.
In 2012, Israel and the Hamas militant group in Gaza agreed to a cease-fire to end eight days of the fiercest fighting in nearly four years.
In 2017, Zimbabwe’s 93-year-old president Robert Mugabe resigned; he was facing impeachment proceedings and had been placed under house arrest by the military.
In 2020, a federal judge in Pennsylvania tossed out a Trump campaign lawsuit seeking to prevent certification of Joe Biden’s victory in the state; in a scathing order, the judge said Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani presented only “speculative accusations.”
In 2021, a man drove an SUV into a suburban Milwaukee Christmas parade, leaving six people dead and more than 60 injured. (Darrell Brooks Jr. was convicted of 76 counts, including six counts of first-degree intentional homicide; he would be sentenced to life in prison with no chance of release.)
In 2022, NASA’s Orion capsule reached the moon, whipping around the far side and buzzing the lunar surface on its way to a record-breaking orbit with test dummies sitting in for astronauts in the first time a capsule visited the moon since NASA’s Apollo program 50 years ago.

The first time it happens, he'll let you know.
And he's always so hopeful that this time he will not be pressed into service. I shouldn't scrush his optimism.

I hear ya but does the coordinator really have that much influence on what the meatheads do on the field?

Well, they are generally the ones who make the play calls. I doubt your QB has free reign to go off book in many situations. That one RB was running all over for us in the second half, then never got his number called towards the end. That's not on the meatheads.

Just checked, and in 2 days, I'll have had these for 8 years. Still a powerful smoke.
