I never got around to posting yesterday because... well the pictures explain.
The day started out cold and clear... officially 28°. The air was still and everything was quiet. The coffee was hot with a hint of chocolate... my wife buys this Pinon blend from Trader Joe's, mixes it with non-flavored coffee to tone it down. I like to stand on our back porch and take in the morning. [click on images to enjoy a larger view]
The sky was crystal clear. A prototypical autumn day. 60° and breezy with no mosquitoes or flies or yellow jackets. It was the kind of day that forces one to go outside... take a walk... cut the grass... whatever gets one outside.
Of course, there is football. That's where a DVR [digital video recorder] comes in handy. As the late afternoon approached, we ate dinner [some fine tasting leftoever stew with fresh apple cider to wash it down] and then settled in to watch the state rivalry game.
I can't choose one team over the other because two of my sons attended UM and another MSU. But I would not have been disappointed to see MSU actually win after what seems a lifetime of losses to UM.

It was not to happen as UM came back with two late-game touchdowns to break the hearts of the MSU fans once again.
