So, Who's the Starting Quarterback This Week?

Look at all that encased meat!

 Megan and I tailgating at the Bill's game against the Kansas City Chiefs last weekend.  

 We've got pork.  We've got beans.  We've got sliders...

So, the Green Bay Packers have had 3 starting quarterbacks in the last 20 years.  Buffalo's had that just in the first half of the season...

HEAT LAMPS!

PUPPY UPDATE:

Megan, Scout, and Gertie waiting for trick or treaters to come to the house.  Why aren't there any costumes?  Wait...

A demon possessed Eskimo.  

That's all from these parts.

Stupid Bills. Lost Again. Wait... They Won? How Could That Happen?

 It's football season again and that means Conklin's Bar & Grill's Illegal Motion tailgating is back!

What's on the menu?  Why, is that fried bologna sandwiches and other assorted meats your making? 

MARISA!  What are you doing in Buffalo?  Really, if you are going to visit us, this is the best way to do it. 

When in Buffalo, you need Buffalo Wings.  And, in Buffalo, they are just "wings."  The Buffalo part would be redundant... 

"I bought candy from you already.  Don't you remember?"
"NO!"
Smart little cheerleaders raising money at everyone's tailgate parties. 

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!  Buffalo Bills vs. Carolina Panthers at Ralph Wilson Stadium.  

 Best way to avoid traffic to and get to the game.

Rainbow parachute!  What does it mean? 

 Ka-BOOM!  And here come the Buffalo Bills!

The mob rejoices 

It was a pretty rough game.  At least it was competitive.   

And, we got a CJ Spiller bobblehead just for attending the game.  As always, we had a great time!

Now for some other business...

A large book sale at the local Penfield Library.  A grocery store bag of books for $3!  Sounds like trouble.

Not sure if they were working on the utilities or having the best fried turkey cookout ever...

That's Bill-ievable

If I keep going to Bills games, I'm going to run out of these kind of lame titles.  I guess I better pace myself or enjoy it while it lasts...

Bills vs. Titans.  I have a feeling we'll need a few bloody mary's to make this a good game.


Tailgating outside of Conklin's Bar & Grill




Just to make my sister jealous, an entire huge box full of Herr's potato chips

Megan enjoying her Buffalo Wing



Buffalo lost 35-34.  My philosophy about football doesn't focus on the QB being the cause of all that is good and bad with a team, but Fitzpatrick may be changing that...


Megan and I at Postcard Falls on Allen's Creek at Corbett's Glen looking for salmon.  They are there, but not quite ready to swim upstream.  We were late last year and are constantly checking this year.

Meat the Bills!

For your meal, the chef has prepared for you a meal that combines a few of your favorites into one meal.  A fine hybrid of pizza and philly cheese steak.  For dessert, a table has been set up for your angioplasty...  Must be tailgating season for the Bills


MEAT!


Conklin's Bar & Grill.  Seems strange seeing a Bills game in nice weather.




Back of the line for the security strip search.  Only half kidding...


"It's been a long time since there's been a blowout win like this; well...  at least where the Bills won it."  A 48-28 win.  I guess that means the Bills are tied for 1st place in the division...

Good time as always!


It's nice to see a primitive civilization developing in the park near our apartment.

The Tale of Mark Klaus

Santa with Spaz the Iguana.  There's something special about having this happen in the office right next to me



This is Petey in the office on the other side of me.  



PETEY!  KEEP BATCHING GIFTS!  WHAT ABOUT THE AUDIT!



Look who got adopted today!  A 3 month old Pug/Jack Russell Terrier 



Tailgating at Conklin's Bar and Grill before the Bills/Titans game this past weekend, which is the best part of the game when they are losing...



Look at all of them empty seats...  Talking about teams that self-destruct, it's nice to see the Detroit Lions are going to personal foul their way out of a wild card playoff spot.  It's a new twist on an old disappointment.


That's all from Rochester.

Cat On a Hot Tin Ceiling

CAT ESCAPES INTO THE CEILING!  



Poor thing.  I had to stay late after work to help set a trap to catch her.  



Certainly not afraid of heights



Tailgating at Conklin's Bar and Grill/Illegal Motion before the Buffalo Bill's game.  



Panorama of Ralph Wilson Stadium 



THAT'S A LOT OF WHITE PEOPLE!  It was a "whiteout" for the Jets game.  The only white shirts I have are a dress shirt and a tshirt with a cartoon Bavarian pickle yodeling.  It seems that was the case with many people.  Probably would have been more successful if they would have gone with red or blue...



We've been looking for houses with a nice porch.  I never thought to look for a car with one...



How depressing is it that it is this dark when I leave work now?  How about this for a hot button election day issue: Daylight Savings Time 365 days a year? 


That's it.
