Saw a replay of Nick Chubb last week against the Texans. The Browns needed a first down with a minute to go, so they could run out the clock. He got the first down, turned upfield to avoid going out of bounds, and kept running. Then at the one yard line he stepped out of bounds. Cleveland took a knee and ran out the clock, winning the game 10-7 but not covering the spread – costing thousands of bettors millions of dollars. The Browns coach said he wouldn’t have been mad if Chubb had scored, but stated that Chubb had been told before the play to not score.
Tuesday: worked past 5:30 so it was almost dark when I left. Wanted to try the Arby’s turkey sandwich but had to backtrack when one Arby’s had closed down, in an area bustling with activity. It was off the road a little, so maybe people couldn’t see it.
During lunch Tuesday I had looked for an Arby’s on Peachtree Industrial, but it was gone. So I cut over to 285 access road across from FBC, and that one had been torn down. Grabbed Taco Bell instead.
I also stopped for gas on the way home, so it was past 7 pm when I finally got there. Had stuff to do but crashed on the couch. Watched a new show, and later when C went to bed I watched another Dwayne The Rock Johnson movie “Skyscraper” with Neve Campbell, from Psych, as his wife. Not bad.
Did I tell you that last week I watched the Timothy Dalton / Nastassja Kinski movie “Time Share” made in 2000. It was just okay.
Busy at work.

Denison: “worldwide government opposition to religious liberty seems to be escalating. The Pew Research Center reports the highest level of global government restrictions on religion in a decade. Since 2007, when Pew began its survey, the median level of government restrictions has risen 65 percent and the level for social hostilities has doubled. This issue came home for American Christians recently when Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito stated during a keynote address to the Federalist Society: "It pains me to say this, but in certain quarters, religious liberty is fast becoming a disfavored right." He observed: "For many today, religious liberty is not a cherished freedom. It's often just an excuse for bigotry, and it can't be tolerated, even when there is no evidence that anybody has been harmed. You can't say that marriage is the union between one man and one woman. Until very recently, that's what the vast majority of Americans thought. Now it's considered bigotry."
