Way too wet

We have been in a VERY wet pattern the last few weeks here in SW Florida.  Yesterday was more of the same. On the drive home I was crossing small rivers where roads normally reside.  At some points the water looked to be close to a foot deep.  I was glad I was driving my Tacoma which sits nice and high off the ground.

My property looks to be equal parts water and land at this point.  I get depressed when the yard gets this wet.

On my home computer I have added some of my favorite pictures from the trip to my Windows background rotation, it’s great seeing them flip up on the screen every three minutes.

Tonight I have to see if I can figure out a way to watch the Eagles game.  I really hate that the NFL started putting Thursday night games exclusively on NFL network, a channel that you typically need to pay extra for if you want it included in your cable package.   Although I actually have basic cable tv as a result of my last negotiation with Comcast that bundled tv and internet, I only have the basic stuff which does not include NFL network.

I could go to one of those overseas websites that broadcast NFL games but I hate the malware filled viewers they require you to load in order to get the content.  I might just wind up listening to the game on Sirius, who knows.  Weeks like this make my investment in the DirecTV Sunday Ticket seem like a colossal waste of money since even with laying out the $300 for the package, I don’t get to see Eagle games that are on Sunday night, Monday night or Thursday night unless I use other means.

I listened to the Eagles second game in the back of the van on the drive home.  It sounds like the offense is far ahead of the defense in terms of performance.  The last part of the Redskins game and for the entire Chargers game, the defense has been awful.  I believe the Chargers only punted one time the entire game, driving up and down the field at will.  If I had a choice of a powerful offense or a punch you in the face, lock down defense I would take the defense every time.  Defense wins games.

It would be cool to actually see tonight’s game since it is Andy Reid returning to Philly as the head coach of the Chiefs.  Andy has the Chiefs off to a good 2-0 start.  I could go watch it at Zookies but the game doesn’t start till 8:25, it would make for a very late school night.
