We're in a spell ranging from high 30s to low 50s with misty rain here and there for another week or so. No real record-breaking though. It'll turn cold again after that and probably stay cold.

I got super sick the past couple of days. Running a small fever of 100 and coughing up a lung, but I think I’m over the worst of it.
My son actually got his tonsils removed yesterday and I was dying on the ride home from NOLA, but it hurt me so bad because he woke up from anesthesia in so much pain.
Why'd he get them removed? I thought that was largely a thing of the past.
He was still wetting the bed even though he is about to turn 9, they think it was sleep apnea from his tonsils. Also they were always getting infected and he constantly got tonsil stones.
In fact, his surgeon said that when she squeezed his tonsils after they were removed it was like a millions ants (tonsil stones) running out of an ant hill (tonsil).
Never heard of a tonsil stone. Is that like a nose nugget?
Probably not.
I get tonsil stones all the time, but my parents decided not to take out my tonsils (which I have mixed feelings about).
Basically they are bacterial build up that get stuck in your tonsils. Usually they don’t hurt, but occasionally they do.
The alpacas are ready.
Great! Anyone wanna pet 'em?Quote:

So I tried one of the BuzzBallz. 15% alcohol by volume. Tastes like poison.
Not my cup o' tea, so I'm missing nothing.
That's a bit how I feel about most hard liquor. The taste would be better without the alcohol.
The CFP semi-finals were wild.
- I did not expect TCU to embarrass Michigan like that
- I did not expect Ohio State to keep the game close, let alone lead for the majority of the game
- That kick at the end of the game was embarrassing. I cannot kick 30 yards let alone 50 in a high stress environment, but there are some expectations on division 1 kickers. While 50 yarders aren’t automatic, they should be nail biting but that last kick was absolutely horrendous.
My childhood friend’s grandmother was from Columbus and was a huge fan of “The” Ohio State. Anytime they played we would always pick at each other. She passed away two weeks ago and so I didn’t get to rub the loss in her face.
Sounds like Four Loko. That stuff is just plain nasty.Quote:

I'm not a big college football fan but I usually check out the bowl games at the end of the year. I can't remember ever seeing TCU playing for the championship. It's fun to see a new team in the mix. It would be even more fun if they won.
College football rankings are hopeless. They don't (and realistically can't) play enough games to really get a good picture of the whole field, and it is never a good idea for a reasonably good team to play other good teams. So long as record matters, you're better off playing against teams that are safely weaker than you are. That's especially true because any given game can turn on a fluke play, or two, and you only get one game against anybody in a season.
At least in the NFL, the rankings within a conference are reasonably correct.
Maybe the rankings in college are also reasonably correct. After all, truly figuring it out is unreasonable. You can't play a best of seven series. The rate of injury is so high that the last game would have both teams fielding different players from the first game, though hopefully not entirely different teams.
Meanwhile, it's a new year. There's a chance I might be leaving Idaho this year. I'll be figuring that out over the next few months. If that doesn't happen, I'll be taking a nice, long, bike ride in the late spring. About 1800 miles, is what I'm thinking about.
