Yesterday was absolutely my best day in the whole year of 2020.
My alma mater The Oregon State University football team, upset the ranked team of the University of Oregon, 41-38! My son was with me while we watched it. Special times.
It didn’t look good it the first half. We were down 11 points, but in the fourth quarter the guys ran off 22 points and won. We own the state of Oregon for a whole year.
I think even the cardboard people in the stands loved it.
It is very hard to find any positives in this year, but I will ride this pony as long as I can.

There is still no decision on who our next president will be.
I see that the Republicans are claiming that they have proof of bad stuff happening at the polls. We will see what the supreme court has to say.
I am a Christian and I am sure God will put a man in office that HE wants and not what any people want.

I have been showing you some of the latest equipment that the military is putting together.
There are a lot more coming. We should be a great shape if some horrible war starts up.
Speaking of the military. Remember that our brothers and sisters are away from home for the holidays. Yes, they are surround by many buddies, but it is not the same as having your family around you.
