Given that there will be a lot of people doing a lot of driving this holiday season, I felt some caution was in order. Today’s post is a Public Service Announcement:
Adverb-Man says:
Please Drive Safe
No, I am not cautioning you about your driving. I am cautioning you to make sure that you add -ly to words that modify verbs. Beware the poorly-written signs and announcements this Christmastime.
I don’t want to drive a safe – I want to drive my car.
And I want to do it safely.
Now the LORD was with Judah, and they took possession of the hill country; but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley because they had iron chariots.
Judges 1:19

Proposed Rule Changes for the NFL
- Calling a timeout just before a field goal attempt will cost the team 5 yards. No one likes the attempts to ice the kicker. If you try to ice the other team’s kicker, you will make his attempt easier.
- A player who causes an injury via foul play are suspended for as long as the injured player is out. Players can be injured on accident, but those are not subject to this rule. For this rule, if you are flagged for a personal foul and the other player is injured, you can’t play again until he does. If that is a play or two, or a few games, you are done for that time. Play nicely.
- Celebrations are allowed only on first downs or scores for offense or turnovers or tackles for loss or stops on 3rd down for defense. Any other instances will be flagged for excessive celebration. You need to accomplish something in order to celebrate it.
- Centers will be held to the same standards as everyone else regarding false starts. No more jerking around and pointing after you are in position. Do not turn into the NBA, where travelling is allowed as long as you dunk. Let the quarterback call the audibles – you stay still until the snap.
Noticeably absent from this list is a modification to the Coach’s Challenge System (CCS, remarkably close to the equally popular (meaning, not popular at all) BCS). Plenty of other people are calling for an overhaul of the challenge/review system, so I’ll let them worry about that.
If a man injures his neighbor, just as he has done, so it shall be done to him:

It’s December, the start of the winter quarter. Time for me to update the theme on this blog.
As is usual, it’s not much of a new theme – all I did was replace the images.
This theme is a tribute to the NHL, which stands for either No Hockey League or National Hockey Lock-out
Anyway, here’s a slightly new look. Expect some tweaks in the days to come.
From the breath of God ice is made, And the expanse of the waters is frozen.
Job 37:10

This is Beta, the second-born, when he was about 2YO.
This is Gamma, the third-born, when he was about 18MO.
