Saturday Morning, SMI, 11/2/13

November is already here, clocks get set back tonight, the leaves are falling and it is definitely Fall. Watched a high school football game on TV last night, two teams from Georgia, saw the number one high school prospect quarterback. He was awesome, a man among boys. Deshaun Watson from Gainesville, apparently going to Clemson and most likely will start next year. If you think about it, there have been quite a few freshmen quarterbacks in college recently. These kids are so big and so strong. Gainesville was up by 42 at the half, don't know the outcome. I pursued it, them won 63 to zip.

What to talk about this morning? I have checked the news services, not much there. I think Washington is reluctant to say anything about anybody, and Obama was not aware of "it" or :anything" .... anyway. He did not know how the healthcare mess was progressing. It was his "pet" .... his namesake, and he never checked in on its progress while they were getting it ready. Maybe he played golf that day. "Screw-ups" are standard in this country anymore. As a country, we are merely a shadow of the greatness that we once were. Arrogance in Washington has not realized it yet, everyone else knows. "Misplaced arrogance."

I'm back, been to Krogers, still amazed at how they are able to offer all the products, and the volume of products, that they do. We are spoiled as a people, we take much for granted. I noticed one T-bone steak, not gigantic, $14, how can anyone afford that. I don't even check the "beef" section any more. I do check out the "day-old," it was empty today. I think it has become one of the most popular areas of the store. Looks like spaghetti, again, tonight for dinner. I've been doing the sauce in the CrockPot and letting it slow cook for about five hours, turns out well.

Saturday, always a different "feel" to it, for me. a day of promise, rest and relaxation and exploration. I have, on one occasions, driven a long distance, to Michigan, just to get a haircut. Driven to Columbus, Ohio many times for my Saturday get away. Always loved Saturday. Almost time for football ................

Many years ago, every Saturday Morning, BIG JOHN AND SPARKY
