There was a headline Friday. "Vikings are Doom Dressed in Hope" " "a team that doesn’t simply disappoint its fans, but does so in a thematically consistent manner". In fact in each of the Vikings tragic losses their perceived strength has been their downfall. The Vikings were the best since 1991 at not letting the other team convert 3rd downs. The Eagles were 10 out of 14 on 3rd downs. The Vikings built their defense JUST to beat the Packer passing game . . not the Eagles I guess.
Well, the Eagles were the best team yesterday . . I think. I turned off the game after the 1st quarter opting to watch S1E1 of Victoria which was REALLY good and not a waste of my time.
So now we have the least anticipated Superbowl in 2 decades in which most people watching the commercials will be rooting for the Eagles. All I want is to see one of those teams lose tragically. THAT would be the best outcome. I don't care who wins as long as one loses tragically.
In last nights game the pick six changed everything and the back-up QB was no longer a factor in the game, it was game over at that point. The BIG question for the next 2 weeks is that the Eagles had the best home field advantage in the league which means that are pretty so-so on the road?? er not..
Then there is Nick Foles who in the 2nd half of the game had a perfect QB rating. That's not going to happen in 2 weeks.
Patriots have a 58% chance of winning the Superbowl, a little more then Clinton had for winning the Presidency. FLY EAGLES FLY

From 7:00 AM to 7:00 AM this morning Columbus received 0.74 inches of rain. More coming but we have a dry slot coming our way and then MAYBE a thunderstorm at the tip of a low level jet stream before it changes to a wet slushy snow. MAYBE 1 or 2 inches most.
Seeing the sun will not be a problem this week AFTER today and most of tomorrow and we could hit 50 on a windy Friday with 40s Saturday and upper 20s Sunday. Remember - the average HIGH is 24

In 2017 craft breweries employed 69,359 employees up from 27,801 in 2001. Craft Breweries are one of the best economic stories of the last decade as they take over more and more of the beer market.

I cannot WAIT for the Winter Olympics. Not a huge fan of the summer Olympics but Winter is can't miss TV.
With that said this is one of the most beautiful routines I have ever seen. From the 2017 World Teams in Japan and both will be competing. Sounds of Silence by Disturbed.

OH OH OMG!!! - On our bucket list is a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado so we have been looking for a good concert and THIS MORNING, JUST NOW - I looked at the schedule again and BAM - Brit Floyd will be at Red Rocks in June. OMG - We have seen Pink Floyd 5 times and Aussie Floyd once but never Brit Floyd.

| Red Rocks Amphitheater |
So the plan is to see the concert (if we can get tickets) and then see a Rockie game the next night before heading to Winter Park and all places in the mountains. This time we will have a few days to accumulate ourselves with the elevation (Winter Park is a true bitch when if comes to oxygen deprivation) and we won't have an impending illness/death to play with our emotions.
We could not make this vacation if I was still on City Council as I would miss a meeting and with only 3 council's missed in 5 years (remember I attended every council meeting a year BEFORE I was elected) well . . .

SO - the Department of Defense and the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program released videos from the Air Force showing a UFO that was filmed. It out ran an F18 and rotated.

These are REAL UFOs. Meaning they are not from another world . . they are Unknown what they are. If something is Unknown it means you can't say it's from another world . . . it's UNKNOWN.

SO - KEEP LOOKING UP!!
