Amazing Packers Win

 

This morning as Travalon and I took a walk before work, we saw the golden squirrel. He took some photos, but not with his good camera, and they didn't really turn out. However, we both took photos of autumn foliage with our phones that turned out.

By our dock we saw this rose blooming, and I thought that was impressive this late in the year.

But then I saw our neighbor has tons of roses blooming today!

On a completely different topic, it must seem puzzling to a lot of people that the same types who say of course cops have to shoot unarmed black men if they seem even a little bit uncooperative are now decrying a policeman for shooting an uncooperative rioter at the Capitol on January 6, and on its face it does look inconsistent. But if you look at it in a different way, they are being very consistent: they believe that it's always okay for a white person to kill a black person, but always wrong for a black person to kill a white person. Therefore, in the case where the cop is black and the person causing trouble is white, like the case with the rioter at the Capitol, she was an innocent, unarmed person who shouldn't have been shot no matter how much she was disobeying the cops. It's not that they're "law and order" types, they are just good old-fashioned racists. But extremely consistent.

Tonight we watched the very depleted Packers team play the undefeated Cardinals down in Arizona, and I didn't have high hopes. But they were ahead and things were looking good until they stalled in the red zone and Arizona was driving back down the field with hardly any time left. The Packers defense couldn't stop them, and soon the Cardinals were in the red zone, and it sure looked like the game was over. But then, it was almost like a miracle: Douglas picked off the ball in the end zone with twelve seconds left, so the Packers could just take a knee. The Packers Paradox: Adams is their best player, but they have never lost a game he couldn't play in. Tiffy says that is because the other team knows who to cover when Adams is playing, but they have no idea what to do if he's not there. Who is Rodgers giving the ball to? They have no way of knowing. She's undoubtedly right about that.
