Happy Saturday! David and I relaxing at the bar, although neither of us did anything today to relax from. We did have busy weeks though, and it's nice to kick back before we start worrying about football. I know, a lot of you avoid sports, but September only comes at this point in the year, and with baseball ending and hockey getting ready to begin, we have to squeeze football in now. I promise, I'll go light on the sports stuff in the future, but some of it does fit the prompt, and there are bonus points at stake.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is "tack/tech/tick/tock/tuck.'" Use one or use 'em all for the bonus points. Enjoy!
Stream of Consciousness Saturday — Linda G. Hill
If we were having a beer, you'd have to ask about football.
"Good afternoon, Dan. Did we have a bet on that game between West Virginia and Penn State?"
"No, David. We did not, and yes, it's your week to buy. And, by the way, I'm hungry, so plan on tacking some food on that tab."
"Hey guys. Did I hear someone say they were hungry? We have roasted chicken corn chowder today, and it's delicious."
"That sounds good, Cheryl. I'll have a bowl and a Modelo."
"I'll skip the soup, but I'll have a John Howell's Special."
"Soup and the usuals, coming right up."
"I have to say, Dan, WVU didn't lose as badly as I thought they might. I tried watching, but that delay was miserable, tick-tock-tick-tock, how long did that last?'
"A little over two hours. Can't have our boys getting hit by lightning."
"How did your other teams do?"
"Pitt won. Iowa State won, and Georgia won."
"You went to Pitt for graduate school — for your tech stuff. Your brother went to Iowa State. Explain to me again how you claim a stake in Georgia's glory."
"I went there my freshman year. I saw the Bulldogs play six home games, including one against Alabama's Crimson Tide, in SEC terms, that counts."
"Did they beat Alabama?"
"No. But the stadium was full."
"Was it called Dooley Field back then?"
"No, Vince Dooley was still coach. You never honor someone while they still have a chance to screw up, like Penn State coach…"
"Don't go there, Dan. No politics and no scandals. How big is that stadium?"
"It seats over ninety thousand people today. It wasn't nearly that big when I was there."
"In a break from the past, I'll skip any discussion of pro-football. Things still don't look good for my Patriots."
"I'm rooting for them tomorrow."
"Why? I thought you hated the Patriots."
"I do, but they're playing the Bengals. I'm rooting for them and — although it may cause my father to roll over in his grave — I'm rooting for Dallas."
"Let's see, the Ravens lost to Kansas City, so Dallas must be playing the Browns."
"Yes, and if all my dreams come true, The Steelers will be on top of the AFC North."
"Of course, your dream includes your guys beating the Falcons in Atlanta — that's a series of tall orders."
"Hey, Atlanta is one of the teams I root for. Go easy on them. You guys want another round?"
"We do, Cheryl. It's way too early to get excited about football, anyway."
"Tall orders are what this season is all about, David. It's the life of a fan."
"I guess you're right, Dan. But it's a damn site easier being a fan when your team is winning."
"Well, with any luck, our quarterbacks will get the ball to a guy who can tuck it in and run to the house."
These three lilac blossoms want to be here to greet fall when it arrives.
Sun setting over the Amazon warehouse
Sunset over tobacco field and barn
Chippy is hiding from the sun
Butterfly bush
It's a hydrangea but it looks more like a pompom
Linus' pumpkins look like they're trying to come inside
On my morning walk, the sunrise shining through this tree
They love the grass that grows in the cracks in the driveay
Hi Smokey!

The wonderful blogger and author, D.L.Finn posted a delightful review of Bridge to Nowhere. I will reblog her review on Tuesday, but if you'd like to take a look before then, click here and head over.
Bridge to Nowhere continues the tradition of character driven stories with strong female characters and well-researched scenarios and the return of a favorite character.
Pittsburgh reporter Rachael Todd has a hard deadline — and it's personal. Her friend is a murder suspect. He knew the victim. He had a strong motive and a weak alibi. Rachael's certain he is being framed, and she'll have to live up to her nickname "Rascal" to clear him.
