Unlike last year when the Falcons made an immediate splash by signing Turner, Atlanta has been very quiet in the 2009 Free Agency signing period. They have mostly concentrated on filling the depth chart. The only two noteworthy additions have been former Jaguars LB Mike Peterson and former Rams C Brett Romberg. Neither makes Falcons [...]
It is not like I have been watching this year’s World Baseball Classic, but how the heck does Team USA get beat via a Little League like mercy rule? Un-f’ing real. I have been watching a little of tonight’s game against the Netherlands. Good thing Team USA is up 3-0 in the 4th, because it [...]
Lots of rain yesterday afternoon and it has been continuously raining today. Yesterday’s observations are from the afternoon (let’s call it 2-5 PM), while today’s are for a few minutes this morning (around 11:30). I may update today’s observations, time permitting, if any interesting birds show up. Highlights? A pair of Carolina Chickadees, several Dark-Eyed [...]
Representative Lynn Westmoreland (3rd District of Georgia), is watching how your stimulus tax dollars are being spent, in most cases wasted. From his latest news letter: There’s a reason why detractors refer to the Democrats’ “stimulus” bill as the “porkulus.” Lynn of course opposed the $789 billion monstrosity as a blank check for a left-wing [...]
I have not done much lately in the way of varmint patrolling, however I did take one misbegotten shot at a raider taking advantage of my generosity in one of the feeders. Black oil sunflower seed attracts all short of adventuresome types, so varmints are a foregone conclusion, however it does not mean that one [...]
Following up on my note from Sunday, the Bulldogs are now 12-0 and ranked number one in the land! I read a couple of stories that this is their first number one ranking since they won the National Championship in 1990. Way to go Bulldogs! Of course SEC play does not even start until Friday, [...]
You can tell spring is in the air, or at least only twelve days away. One of my backyard feeders is out of seed, another is down to the last feeding hole, and the third one is running pretty low. The low seed supply has not deterred the birds from enjoying the backyard. In fact, [...]
First, I hate springing forward. The only good thing about setting the clock forward an hour is that my kids have no idea the time has changed. For one morning this year they will actually sleep until 7:30AM. Joy. OK, the grumps are now out of me; onto the stuffs! Facebook takes over the world. [...]
Today’s featured mock draft is from J. Michael Moore from the FalconsLIFE site. Sure, homer type musings are at play, but it gives me something to write about on this foggy Saturday morning. Moore’s take on a mock draft does not really contain any surprises; i.e. fairly predictable, and no complete head scratchers, but we [...]
Or get your fill of beer on Saturday, because once again our backwards Georgia representatives have decided that thou shall not buy beer on Sunday. According to ajc.com, Sunday alcohol sales are not going to happen anytime soon. “The sponsor of legislation allowing voters the chance to vote on Sunday alcohol sales at stores withdrew [...]
