Squirrel Hunting

I’ll always remember the time I went squirrel hunting. Was out there all morning and didn’t see a single squirrel. Odd because I went to a place where I usually see a lot of squirrels. Finally decided to leave. On the way back to my truck (I don’t really have a truck, but when you’re telling a hunting story it sounds wimpy to say Corolla). I almost stumbled over this guy coming out of the bushes. He looked like a bush. He was carrying all these squirrels he had killed. I asked him where he got all the squirrels. He said “Well you probably noticed that I’m not the best looking guy.” Yes, I replied, “I’m sorry to say it but you’re just about the ugliest guy I’ve ever met.” Well, he continued, that helps me get the squirrels. All I have to do is look at a squirrel and it falls down dead. Just then a squirrel that we hadn’t even seen fell out of the tree onto the ground right next to us. That’s amazing I said. Say, what’s a guy like you do for companionship? Oh, I’m married, he said. I shuddered to think of what the woman looked like. He could tell what I was thinking and said that she was ugly as well. I asked why don’t you bring her out here squirrel hunting with you? I would, he said – but she tears them up too bad.

SEC: I hate all the snipping on social media, all the alleged experts who aren’t coaches or players who aren’t at the practices, but know better than the coaches. My unprofessional opinion: not sure when the Heisman votes were due, but that was a Heisman worthy performance by the Bama QB. Perhaps Kirby is holding JT out until the rematch, though doubtful UGA could beat Bama even with JT Daniels as the QB. I think GA should beat Michigan. Stetson would be more of a threat against that particular defense than Daniels.

Everyone wants to change the QB, but it wasn’t Stetson who gave up 34 points to the Bama offense. Bennett was able to move the ball downfield all night. No one wants to win more than Kirby. No fan is as dedicated as him. By the time JT could’ve gone in, Kirby was probably thinking heck, let’s just wait to the championship game.

And remember that great catch by Pickens with the Bama defender draped all over him? Why in the world was that not pass interference? Instead of 2nd & 7 it should've been 1st & 10 - 15 yards down the field.

ACC: great run by Pitt QB Kenny Pickett for the TD. Dude should be a Heisman finalist. He’s a senior. Bama QB Young is a freshman. Both are ranked high in the ESPN Total QB Ratings.

Left work on Thursday at 2 pm. Later went to Moxie Burger with C and M.

Friday: breakfast at Café. Customer didn’t take needed actions so at 5 pm I had to enter the daily order, since it was too late to delegate to someone else. Beef stew for supper.

Saturday morning we drove downtown to visit Shivonne. I drove the Chickfila to pick up lunch for MC and Ceil (and me). Will and brother-in-law Thomas had biked the mile to the Congress Center for the SEC Fanfest. They got on TV when Todd Gurley was interviewed. 

Watched Bama/UGA over at my other friend Reid’s house. Three couples plus one other lady. Usually the ladies chat in the kitchen or in the back, but this time they chatted there by the TV. I love them dearly but bless their hearts it was hard to hear the broadcast. Then they’d ask a question, and they’d marvel at how I knew the answer – because I was paying attention to the game!

Sunday School. Later I drove C to Perimeter Mall. Laundry.      Watched some of the Falcons. Went to get a haircut.

Fully electric cars: a good idea? For who?

Youssef: You may wonder, If Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil, then why does Satan continue to operate freely? As long as people are willing to entertain and obey the lies of Satan, he will have a hold over them. But Satan has no claim on a believer unless that believer hands him the keys to their life. But as we follow Jesus by the power of His Spirit, "The God of peace will soon crush Satan under [our] feet" (Romans 16:20).
