Well done!

Guys, it seems like about half of the league isn't playing anymore. The team I played this week started a few guys on their bye week. What gives?

Agreed. Gator is excellent. However, it can be a bit chewy if not cooked properly.

No, I don't know. I'm not a biologist. My point was that these coyotes were in the woods by themselves, clearly not being a threat to any one person. The idea that Burley wanted to shoot one didn't make sense to me. Furthermore, it seems to me that were there to be too many coyotes, they would starve out. Wouldn't that be the most natural order of things?

Staying in Texas. Now be nice before I chase you around with a science book. They have those there, right?

...a good tractor pull cause that's what I call me a good nite. Speakin of a good nite, I was thinkin we could...

You should try Saxo then. It's a Belgian Ale that you can find at a wine or spirits store. Delicious.

Yeah, well not too many years back you didn't have to go to a zoo to see a buffalo. Do you see where I'm going here?

We're heading to Virginia in October. Any of you know where Wintergreen is? Christine's family has a house there. I'm hoping to see some of the wineries there.

Respectfully, I have never been a farmer or rancher, though I do totally respect the work that is done in those professions. Here is my point of view (and I don't mean to come off snobby to you, Burley, or anyone else)- coyotes are a natural part of the ecosystem. So are cows, horses, men, goats and sheep. It would seem to me that you would want to protect your livestock from predators in the same fashion as you would from nature- building shelters, etc. However, killing an animal that you have no intention of harvesting isn't ethical. We're not talking about an overpopulation of coyotes in the wild.The coyote (or any other predator) is there to serve a balance in the ecosystem. My original comment was directed at Burley in regards to seeing a coyote out in the wild (not attacking anything) and his remark stating that he'd like to shoot it. For what? What purpose would it serve? Do we not condsider ourselves sportsmen and conservationists on this website? Am I wrong in thinking that each of us champions the spirit of the wild and a love of the outdoors? So where does shooting a dog just for the @#$%^#% of it fit in?

Yeah, because killing animals I'm not gonna eat is a great idea. I guess you don't kill mice or rats either... : I would, but the coyotes keep getting in my walls and under my floor boards. Man, if I were just lucky enough to live where coyotes live outdoors...

Congratulations!

Well, Christine went to law school at FSU so I'm sure she'd be ecstatic to get her hands on any FSU stuff she could...

You aint a kiddin. I've seen a couple of them. They typically are not shy at all. Some wonder where their pet ran off too :-? Yotes like chickens in the coop or the ones that run free in the yard. Some of the brave ones run down new born cattle if there are enough yotes in the area. 1 dead yote or $500+ calf. Tough choice there. Nice pics btw. GMAN- I respect your opinion, but I really never understood that line of thinking. It's the same as the ranchers farming on government land in Colorado and Wyoming that wanted to kill the wolves preying on the occasional livestock. Wolves, coyotes and coydogs have all evolved because there was a natural ecological need for the animal. Those that deal in the livestock business should accept that losses to natural predators are part of the deal.

Yes, buy lots of UK stuff- Christine thinks that she's gonna make him an FSU fan- ain't happening.

Yeah, because killing animals I'm not gonna eat is a great idea.

Can't wait to see Favre break the record. I can't stand Marino.

Ok, how about saying certain portions of him were adequately large? ;D

Actually, her grandparents were. They went to the ultrasound with us. I think it meant a lot to them for us to invite them to go. But yes, I called mom once I stepped outside.

Well, at 18 weeks it was time to go back and get another ultrasound. The nurses were saying it might be too early to see the sex but they went ahead and looked anyway. I was floored when she said it was a boy. Anyway, Jackson Wehle Herbert (aka Baby Ninja) is due Feb 21. More info to come...

I just bought a six pack of the Octoberfest last Saturday. It's really delicious.

An hour and a half from Napa? I'm coing over . I haven't tried the Silver Oak yet, but I am looking forward to opening a bottle soon.

Hey guys, are there any other wine fans here? If so, what are your favorite varietals? Any particular pairings you enjoy? I'm a big fan of cabernet savignon and pinot noir, as well as malbec and I bought a bunch of shiraz today. Probably my favorite bottle is a 2002 Markham Cabernet Savignon. How about you?

RW. He's up by 70 and has 24 to go.

I love it!
