Hello again and Happy Thanksgiving to All.
POTUS is attempting to blame the previous administration for the presence of the shooter of two National Guard members in Washington DC yesterday. But, he was actually granted asylum during the current administration, not the last one. As always POTUS, like Stalin in the last century, is never responsible for anything bad that happens.
POTUS is trying to make citizens believe that prices for our annual national meal are down, and yet the costs for things like turkeys, potatoes, pies and even bread for dressing are higher than last year at this time.
It is time for this POTUS to begin to take responsibility for both the good and the bad that is going on here and start fixing the bad things for us. That is the job for POTUS every day, not just on the days he isn't golfing.

Brand New Shield
The Schedule.
What is one of the most mundane things in sports is actually one of the most important for several reasons. The schedule determines who plays who when, how long of a layoff teams have in between games, so on and so forth. The schedule has so unnecessarily been made a massive media deal that some leagues air their schedule release shows and make a whole production out of it.
Well, yes, the schedule is a big deal. The schedule, specifically in football, does not tend to be as equitable as it should be. There are literal metrics for how much rest teams have when facing their opponents and such. None of that would even exist or be necessary if the schedule was made in a more equitable/egalitarian fashion.
There are also player safety concerns with forcing guys to play 3 football games in a span of 10 or 11 days. Holding all the games the same day of the week every week would be a boon for player safety but of course, it's media exposure and money that matters most to those who actually make the real decisions.
I do have a couple suggestions here to remedy the schedule issue. First, all games are played the same day of the week. That way everyone has the same practice routine, time with the trainers, etc... There are no unnecessary or hidden advantages when making a schedule this way. The other suggestion is how to handle bye weeks and I feel that if you give everyone the same bye week(s), there are no advantages for teams coming off the bye.
In essence, a more equitable/egalitarian approach to schedule making is better for the players, coaches, and teams involved. I'd also argue that it's better for the fans because they don't have to shift their schedules around to accommodate games taking place multiple days of the week. If the Brand New Shield every truly comes into fruition, a new way of doing the schedule will most certainly be implemented.

Roscoe's Quick Notes

Looking at the graphic image above which shows the position of pieces at game's end, you can see that while my f2-Rook delivers the mating move, each one of my other pieces: Queen, King, Knight, and pawn is actively covering one or more of all the White King's possible flight squares. He's dead where he sits and he has no safe place to go.
I won this server-based correspondence chess club game earlier today. The game's full move record: 1. e4 a6 2. e5 e6 3. d4 h6 4. Bc4 Bb4+ 5. c3 Ba5 6. b4 Bb6 7. Nh3 Ne7 8. O-O O-O 9.

I feel like life is beginning to pile up now. Things are waiting to be done and I'm just chipping away at nothingness. You know the real important tasks need to be done now and I'm just wasting time doing little things that make me feel good or productive. I'm just putting things off and for what? I don't know??! I'm fustrating myself and frankly it's becoming somewhat annoying.
I need to organise and get started on a lot of things but I'm working a stupid amount of hours which isn't really helping me in the slightest. 9 to 5 and then 2/3 hours in the evening, most evenings. I've also been sick these last three weeks now and on top of that on vacation two weeks before that. So I feel like I'm 5 weeks behind already, with my weekends quickly being snapped up with social tasks and other various activities.
Ontop of that I still want to sleep well and rest well and workout. So it's all a lot at the moment. I already know what I need to do now I just have to plan it out and look at the week and month instead of the hours and days. But still I want to complain.
