Husker Mike and I got together late last night and went through our predictions for the weekend. Corn Nation regular taflorom has posted his in the diary section. I wouldn't mind running some type of Pick 'Em Contest on Corn Nation and I'm certainly open to any suggestions that readers might have.

College football season is upon us, thank God. Now I can scream unintelligible rants from my front porch into the neighborhood and not be seen as someone who will harm the children. Things will seem normal again, as I've lived in the same house for the past 14 years and they all damned well better be used to it. The new neighbors will learn fast enough. No, I'm not going to warn them ahead of time.

I tried doing some fancy smancy tables for the stuff below. Then I dropped a large brick on my bare foot so I'd forget about doing the tables.

p.s. "Corn Blight" = "Husker Jon"  - I'm alternating egos. Not sure why.
