Packers have the #1 Defense in the League

.
I received a call from the upcoming Vendor and Craft Fair being held Saturday 9am to 3:30pm at the Columbus High School and they seemed pretty upbeat. Looks like 60 booths with a wide variety of things from Mary Kay to people selling cement. There will be concessions and so forth.

Of course Char from up dar in Schofield has been screaming at me to DON'T BE NERVOUS and bringing up things I will need that I had not thought about (I've never done this before). Receipt book, cash box, make sure my zipper is up, stampy thing, bags . . anything else?.

I will have my postcards (must order more) and bookmarks. DJ and I stained my tri-door set up. Wish I had more prints but . . . all in good time.

One thing I have been doing as I slowly populating my new website with images

Melotte Photo Imagery

and I'm finding all sorts of wonderful shots that the owners of the cars do not have and I bet they would want. This was taken at Public Enemies Days (the first and last I fear as Chamber called it a failure while most of the people involved said it was a huge success). I have a lot of photos but in one of my learning processes I found it's easy to take photos and write down names . . . . but then you have to match them all up! OOPS! Lesson learned. No . . not really . . I'm still at a loss on an EASY way.

I have all the names in a notebook. I think I'll just put all the images on the web in my portfolio page. I have shots of every car that attended.

Some people say that this style of image reminds them of old postcards. I'm advancing into the past.

And of course here is the love of my life, the woman that keeps me grounded and on my toes (also called the only sane member of our family).

My One.

SO . . . . NOBODY told me the Silverdome in Detroit was for sale. Someone purchased it for $500,000. I'm not going to say how much our overpriced yet modest home cost but if I would have known I could have purchased the Silverdome it would not have been a HUGE stretch to take out a bigger mortgage. I could have practiced my golf IN THE LIVING ROOM!!

But someone else bought it and I have an idea what it can be used for. THE FASTEST GROWING SPORT IN AFGHANISTAN. Goat Grabbing! (also called Buzkashi) a sport with 20 players, 20 horses and one dead headless goat. What could be more fun! Seriously - I can't make this up, it's real. I found some photos but I won't post them.

It's like polo with a dead headless goat. Of course he would be dead I suppose. Would that make dead and headless redundant? One implies the other? If you are dead you are not necessarily headless, yet, if you are headless you are most certainly dead.

Deep thoughts.

But think of all the untapped market for paraphernalia. We could make GoatCheeseHeads.

OK OK - one photo I found but I made it kid friendly! Notice the "fan" with the big ass gun! I guess security is not as much of an issue as it is at Packer/Viking games.

Oh those whacky Afghans are at it again.

Speaking of the Packers. According to Football Outsiders who take all luck out of the stats and factors in WHO a teams opponents have been. The Green Bay Packers have the best Defense in the NFL. 13th best Offense and 32nd best Special Teams (Vikings are 8, 17 and 1).

And finally -from the BBC who for the 1st time ever broadcast an NFL game played in the U.S. bacl to the UK. Here is the commentators blog. Pretty interesting about Green Bay and his experience.

What a weekend in Titletown!

This comes from a the BBC.


Talk to ya later.

Cheers - always
