My Big Brother and I played just now. When we spoke he said he had been to the Cambria County courthouse area early today and said the parking lot and streets were filled with trumpie supporters in cars and trucks and on foot waving signs and shouting. "It was like a celebration!" he said. I am going to get on with my life and live the happiest, most civic-conscious life that I can. Those two desiderata may come into conflict. Pursuing happiness is what I am doing now. But I will not ignore our time. My thought for a few weeks has been to emulate Ieshia Evans, a nurse from Pennsylvania, in Taking a Stand in Baton Rouge on the header. Protest. Peacefully. Don't fight back even when faced with overwhelming power. I am thinking of going to Washington for trumpie's inauguration, wearing my all back suit, white shirt, skinny black tie with my black-on-white ANTIFA sticker on the back of my suit jacket and just stand there as Ieshia did eight years ago.
For now, getting on with life:
Game My Guess B.B.'s Guess Actual, Winner
Olé Miss-Georgia UGA -7 UGA -6 UGA -2.5. B.B.
Vandy-COCKS! Vandy -3 COCKS! -1 COCKS! -3.5. B.B.
ElleEsseEw-Bama AL -1 AL -1 AL -3. Push.
Pitt-Virginny I messed this game up. Although my B.B. told me the game was in a lonely field beyond Fort Pitt, I had in my mind that it was in Charlottesville when I guessed. Nonetheless, I eat my mistakes UVA -2 Pitt -4 Pitt -7.5. B.B.
Va. Tech-IPTAY IPTAY -15 IPTAY -20 IPTAY -6.5. Me. We were both so off that I blush to take the W but them's the rules.
Ind-Mi. Ind. -8 Ind. -9 Ind.-14. B.B.
So my B.B. beat me handily, 4 games to 1 and another a push.
