Election Day

Well I am off to vote soon. It will be nice to not have to see or hear a political ad every commercial break on tv or radio after today.

In other news, my neighbor bought a bb gun yesterday. He then proceeded to use one of our chairs on the porch, prop a flattened cardboard box up on it, pin a target he drew on computer paper to the cardboard, then shoot at it for the greater part of an hour. I think the trailer park behind us is starting to rub off on him.

DISCLAIMER: the above was supposed to be an attempt at humor, and I know that not every person in a trailer park is a redneck. Just the majority.

Anyway, this Saturday is the last game at Faurot Field this year. The last game there ever for the likes of Chase Daniel, Chase Coffman, William Moore, and the other seniors on this team. Their class has been phenomenally successful at MU and in large part helped to put Mizzou football on the map. It should be a great game; November night game, Senior Night, Blackout Game, etc. all make for a wonderful atmosphere.

Another interesting fact: the seniors on this football team have taken turns wearing the number 25 during different games throughout the season in honor of Aaron O'Neil, who collapsed and died during a voluntary workout in 2005. He would have been a senior this year, and his family will be on the field during the senior presentations on Saturday. I think these guys have done him a great honor.

That's all for now. Peace
