OUCH! That one hurt.

BOYD - you are way too funny.

Did you see the photo in the newspaper Saturday?

The caption basically reads "City administrator Boyd Kraemer presents a MOCK check Mayor Bob Link!"

HA - wait till Bob tries to cash that puppy! Boy will he be in for a shock.

BTW - the check is for repairing the Udey Dam. I have NO IDEA where this damn dam thing lies now. I thought the DNR was going to blow it up and now they are giving faux check to the mayor? Well send me home and call be Buford.

Also - congrats to Curves, Midwest Horse Fair and Secret Garden for the Holiday Window Dressing contest.

Speaking of horses, I would love to have more horses to photographs. If anybody knows of any cool horse situations which would make good photos let me know. A stampede of 1000 horses would be great if you can arrange it.

And lastly congrats to Houston's Antiques for finally getting that dollar that the City Council owed them. It must be real hard to get paid by the Council if everytime you get a dollar you get your photo in the paper. SHEESH!! Kind of a tight ass bunch!

Small set back for Caydence - she came home Saturday (open heart surgery and 5 days recovery, you expected longer?) and as Josh and Jenny put Caydence in her lamby swing she had a HUGE smile on her face. However, last we knew she was going back to UW Hospital at 9:00 last night. Nothing critical, more of an annoyance with her feeding tube and a stubborn Doctor.

PACKERS!

OUCH - most Packer fans are licking their wounds today and the Packer forum was going NUTS.

Here are some comments from a Packer forum that pretty much sums up Packer fans feelings.

GOD DAMN YOU CROSBY! YOU LOST US THAT GAME GET HIS STUPID ASS OFF THE TEAM! I WOULD RATHER HAVE MY GRANDMA KICK THE BALL! SHE WOULD DO JUST AS GOOD AND I COULD ALSO SAY MY GRANDMA PLAYS FOR THE PACKERS! SCREW YOU CROSBY! - cody

I HATE YOU MASON CROSBY!!! I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!! - louis

So after I pull DJ down from the ceiling (she takes Packers losses pretty hard) we watched Survivor which she was not real pleased over (as with MOST of America) so add another lump of coal to the night but then I turn on the Viking game and all is well and to top it off I see Favre and the coach had a "heated discussion" because Favre refused to be taken out of the game (I guess Favre is the coach now).

Well - the Vikings have lost 2 of the last 3 now and are all of a sudden in a battle with the Cowboys for a week BYE week and not all is going smoothly. The one thing that Favre has done that HELPED the Packers is Minnesota is so confident they signed Childress to a long term contract. Even OTHER teams say he is a doofus (which is good for Packers)

The Packers are still in no real trouble for the playoffs. They have the tie breaker with Dallas but who knows. I feel they are solid.

Saturday I took my buddy Elweed to Best Buy to help him make his most expensive purchase in the last 25 years. A 19 inch LCD TV ($159). He was like a proud parent. We hooked up his rabbit ears and he gets 7 channels.

Photographically I had a challenging weekend trying to take a certain photo and now I have to make a light box, something with a null background. Any photo people out there looking to make a super simple light tent follow the link.

Watch the weather this week, we have some LARGE energy moving our way. Most models have it going south but a few have us right smack in the middle. It's still early and it will form in Texas and move north.

And for any "24" fans.

Here is Jack Bower interrogating Santa Claus - it will make you chuckle.



Have a great Monday.
