thanks Tap,.. yep, quite a haul,.. Cristobal has the Ducks flying high, we're recruiting with the big boys,..
...Oregon will play football this fall,.. though the prior cancellation caused 4 of our top players/team leaders to opt out, I don't know if they can change their minds

 

I keep this thread happy and fun, but we've really had a tough time of late



Oregon fire chief and crew lose homes, station as they battle ...
A rural fire chief and several of her volunteer firefighters in Oregon lost their homes and station house to the Holiday Farm Fire as they battled the blaze over the last few days.



my Grandad's brother's place, and maybe ten of his son's mini-storage buildings were burned up

weather's changed, cooled off, they had a bit of rain up north,.. the fires have mostly been somewhat contained,.. what @CajunlostinCali said about California is true in Oregon too, "Wildfires in California are not a natural disaster, they are a season. Every year this time, you can count on the fires to come. This year is the worst ever.",.. Oregon had more than a million acres burned, and the locations of the fires were especially bad, a lot of homes were lost,.. God bless the responders

 

thanks for posting, Brian,.. yep, he's a great one, highest rated college guard in the history of ratings,.. Penei Sewell is the only sophomore to win the award for being the best offensive/defensive lineman in the country, he's 19 years old

no word about Sewell and the three other Ducks who opted out. lf they will, or can, change their minds,.. they opted out because fall football was cancelled and football in the spring clashed with preparing for the NFL,.. once again pac commissioner, Larry Scott fucked things up

Canzano: Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott could have been a hero -- but nope

 

it sure has,.. I've mentioned that my mom's in senior care lockdown, I hadn't been allowed to see her in over 6 months,.. the 15th was her birthday, a nice warm day, they wheeled her out onto the lawn, we had to wear masks, but a few of us got to visit with her for more than an hour, which was nice

while there, my cousin told of an incident some weeks earlier,.. frustrated that mom's phone wouldn't work,.. when told she couldn't enter, Lori pulled the door open and went up to mom's apartment anyhow, took the phone to test elsewhere,.. they called the cops, but she left before they showed up,.. but Lori is on mom's contact list

and the cops showed up at Lori's house, warned her, said she was in their system, do it again and she would be arrested for,.. forced entry, because the attendant had her hand on the door, menacing, criminal trespassing, reckless endangerment, and breaking some of our governor's covid orders

2020 really has sucked
