Witches calling the far right Antifa….What do witches call the far left?

I had a terrible week last week….hopefully this week will be a little better. I plan to go with my head and not my heart, maybe that will help. So, here goes:

Alabama vs Tennessee….Bama wins….and Bama won

Arizona vs UCLA….Upset…..Arizona wins…and Arizona lost by 1….lost

Wisconsin vs Illinois….Wisconsin wins…Wisconsin wins….won

Texas Tech vs Kansas….Texas Tech wins…and Tech wins…won

New Mexico vs Fresno St….Fresno St wins…and Fresno St won…won

New Mexico State vs Georgia Southern….Ga Sou wins..and Ga Sou wins..won

Game of the week: Upset special

Mississippi State vs LSU….Miss St wins…and LSU wins…lost

Record for this week…. 5 W – 2 lost   For the season  38 W – 18 L

You know it seems to me like the world is going crazy….but then again, maybe it’s me. But I feel like:

1. God has pulled away from America and probably because America has pulled away from God.
2. People care only about themselves anymore.
3. When voting its “what can you do for me” attitude when selecting a candidate.
4. Protesting when elections do not go their way and most of the protesting turn violent,  in effect saying, “you folks better listen to me or you may get hurt.”
5. No one knows history anymore. We have dumbed down our school systems.
6. Our kids are excellent in running computers and phone apps. Figuring things out for themselves, not so much.
7. Rules and government are ok as long as they are favorable to liberal thinking.
8. Conservative ideas, “you got to be kidding”. Their are a few young people who think conservatively, but very few.
9. That 10 percent tax rate works for God and seems to me like if all of us, including companies and corporations, would pay 10 percent to the USA we would have all the money necessary to run our government.
10. Everyone who is able should work. If you draw a welfare check you should work doing something….sweeping streets, picking up trash, clerking in government offices….something, anything, but all work.

Now I remember why I did not do football picks last year….What a poor showing on my part this week…..terrible, but at least I’m admitting it….I’ll continue for this year, but I will remember not to do this again next year…wow

Albuquerque Journal, Thursday September 13, 2018 reports the following. I also checked the internet and they have several articles regarding the closure but with no additional information available.

On Thursday, September 7, 2018 the folks employed at the National Solar Observatory was closed by a government agency and had the employees  evacuate the area. A nearby post office was also told to close and it was also evacuated. None of the people were told what was happening to cause the closure and they were not told how long the closure would last. They said “due to unforeseen circumstances”  due to some security issues and would have no further comments at this time. The FBI is on site, but they are not the agency that closed it, and no one is saying which agency was responsible for the closure.

This place has been operating since 1947, involved in solar research. The operator of the facility is The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy is addressing a security issue and decided to temporarily vacate the facility.

In another article, which I did not fully explore, there seem to be some solar flares that are raising some eyebrows and I wondered if that could be a part of it….yet, that is what they do: Study solar flares, etc…Soooo, what’s going on? Could the agency that closed the place be the “MEN IN BLACK?” Just saying……

Well, it is time for the games to get tougher as conferences games get started….And leading off:

Alabama vs Mississippi….Bama picked by 22 points. I think it will be closer to 14, but anyway, Bama wins….Big win for Bama……W for me

Arizona vs Southern Utah…Az will surely win this one….I’m pickin’ um. A big win for Arizona….W for me

Texas Tech vs Houston….Houston is tough, Tech is a 1 1/2 point favorite and I also believe Tech will beat them. Big win for Tech….W for me

Wisconsin vs BYU….Wisconsin wins but BYU is playing pretty good ball this year but not good enough to beat the Badgers.  Big win for BYU  …L for me

New Mexico vs New Mexico State….NM is favored by 7 but they will win by 21….gasp…yep, 21  Big win for New Mexico…W for me

extra games:

Ohio State vs TCU…..Ohio State by 14…another W for me

Liberty vs Norfolk State….Liberty by 7….New Mexico plays Liberty Sept 29th…Postponed

Record    4 W and 1 l    Season  15W – 5L
