I was up surfing in the middle of the night because I had a headache and another thread I was in got me thinking..

Theres way too much bad news. We need a good news thread!

So I'll start with this.

One of our local Docs went on a hunting trip the other day and went missing for a night. Turns out he had fallen and gotten a concussion. He walked out on his own the next morning YAY.

i'm neither. it's all circumstantial.

see, if the glass is completely empty, and you fill it up halfway - then it's half full.
but if the glass is full, and you empty half of it, then it's half empty.

you know what i mean?

The Dallas Cowboys. Tony Romo!

Wahoo.

Pinch me. Is this real? 7-4? I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop on Romo. He can't be this good. He just can't be.

If the glass if full and you tip out half of its contents it is then half full.

I can't figure out how people get this so wrong.

Congrats Doctor Shifty! (Just Doctor? Just Shifty?)
That's no small accomplishment.

Good news: the wild pigs have failed to show up at the house this fall. Last year we had sounders of 100 plus.

Everything else I have is political.
