Fantasy Football

The Northwest Ballers had their Fantasy Draft this week and let's jut say I consider it flattery that all my best players from last season were gobbled up before I had a chance to draft them again. So, we're a new-look Boujee Bucks. 
I had Patrick Mahomes in mind for quarterback, but somehow ended up getting his top targets Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill instead. I slacked on drafting running backs and ended up Gus Edwards and Miles Gaskin as my starters and, of course, Edwards goes down with a season ending injury in practice before the first game. I reluctantly picked up Latavius Murray who might fill in for him.

I was pleased to nab my quarterback from last year, Kyler Murray, and am now realizing I have two Murrays. Oh well. Let's hope Keenan Allen and Chase Claypool can pick up some of the slack until I figure out what to do at running back. Who knows, maybe Gaskin will be my saving grace, or maybe I can use Tom Brady in a trade (he's on my bench with Tua - I like quarterbacks obviously). We'll see what happens, but for now I'm behind 38-0 in week 1 against a team that took my top dude from last year, Derrick Henry. 

Oh, and let me say it now, I have my eye on Lion's running back Jermar Jefferson, who, true to form, is probably the best back in Detroit and is 3rd string!

Here's a little photo roll to reinvigorate myself as I have blog ideas aplenty, swirling about in my head, that need to become real. Oh, and please excuse the music - I created it super quick and I'm not musical at all.

The New Library

Image
Reading a review of Jorge Luis Borges's "Library of Babel" I was reminded of my recent trip to the new Missoula Public Library, which was built directly next to the old Missoula Public Library. The construction of the new library, while in plain view, had an air of secrecy to it and it wasn't until its Grand Opening that the new library finally stepped-out from the shadow of the old one. Juanita and I have been visiting the hospital a lot lately with post-surgery appointments where we park under St. Pat's Broadway Building and ascend to the fifth floor from the basement in an elevator. It's a very public elevator entrance where a set of glass doors work to dissuade transients, who might be hunkered down, from going up. The elevator entrance at the library struck me much the same way - a fancy-looking glass enclosure with its fanciness working to dissuade smelly bums from entering. And I say smelly jokingly, because I had heard that a highly contested feature o...

Torstein's Process

Thank you Torstein Horgmo for the inspiration. I have always liked Torstein and now after watching a couple parts of FLYT I am re-stoked and re-inspired to create and to shred and to create some more. Thinking about where to go this early in the season my mind goes to Pattee Canyon and then to Marshall Mountain - a small local hill in East Missoula where I learned to ski. It's now closed. The great thing about Marshall is the night skiing - it's awesome, so when the natural terrain might not be so good at least it's fun to go out and enjoy the solace of winter at night. After watching this video -  https://youtu.be/904osEbQGA0  I'm just so pumped to see Marshall Mountain develop its face, add non-natural terrain, a new lift conducive for getting off and on at midmountain points to make hitting jumps easier, and then doing it all night long. Along this line of thinking, here's a company called SunKid and their Mega Comfort Star product for moving people up ski hills ...
