That was awful

Yesterday, I watched the Patriots fail at almost every aspect of the game of football while the Packers played a great game and took advantage of every mistake the Patriots made.

When the game ended, the score was 45-27 in favor of the Packers. Now I'm not saying the Patriots didn't deserve the 27 points they got but I am saying the Packers wouldn't have gotten 45 points if the Patriots didn't keep handing them the ball.

I would not want to be a Patriot player during practice this week because I'm pretty sure Vrabel and his staff are not happy.

Next up for the Patriots is a trip to Munich Germany where they will play the Detroit Lions. Don't ask me why they need to go to Germany to play the Detroit football team. Seems like a complete waste of time and energy. The Patriots are considered the "home team" and I'm betting most of the players have never set foot in Munich.

It's been about a month since Dementia Donny said he was going to violate the law and buy diesel from Russia. I asked google's AI how much diesel fuel has the US received from Russia. This is what it said:

So none...

Also, he has started his lie-machine about the mid-term election:

He knows that the more he repeats a lie, the more the people will believe it is the truth

Yep, another busy day.

We left our house at 4:50 this morning and drove out to Boston to hang out with our granddaughter and daughter-in-law while our son ran a half-marathon.

It was his first sanctioned event and it was put on by the BAA. That is the same organization that runs the Boston Marathon. He was quite successful, completing the run in 2 hours and 1 minute.

That, as far as I'm concerned, is a pretty good time to run 13.1 miles. That works out to roughly 9¼ minutes per mile.

More importantly, we spent several hours being entertainined by our granddaughter who loved clapping and cheering for all the runners as they ran by.

The Bruins won this afternoon, beating the Panthers 4-1 in regulation. This gives them a 4-game winning streak, maintains their 2 point lead in the Atlantic division and gives them sole possesion of second place iun the Eastern conference.

They are off now until Thursday when they will take on the Canadiens.

As I type, the Packers are in Foxboro playing the Patriots and so far, the Patriots suck.

The Patriots started the game on offense and Maye threw an interception within the first two minutes that resulted in a Packers score.

Then, with their second possesion, Maye got sacked on the third down and they were forced to punt, giving the ball back to the Packers who once again, scored.

Within the first 10 minutes of the game, the score was 14-0 Packers...

I really hope things go better over the next 3 quarters.

It's been a busy few days.

Yesterday and today were kinda busy. Tomorrow doesn't look like it's going to be any less busy.

Being busy is better than being bored.

• Only in Florida.

Nice win

The Bruins beat up on the Penguins last night, winning 6-2 in regulation and moving into a 3-way tie for second place in the NHL.

Yes, I know they've only played less than ¼ of their games but I'm still feeling pretty good about their play. I expect them to have a strong season and make it into the playoffs.

Hopefully they can avoid a lot of injuries this season and stay healthy enough to make it into the finals. I'd love to see them win Stanley's cup.

My lawn is covered in leaves but I don't mind.

The fertilizer and lime are down and now that it's raining a bit, they are being soaked into the ground.

Sometime next week we'll will do the lawn and get all the leaves off. Then I'll evaluate the trees to see if they are done dropping leaves.
