Ya. Right after Clinton moved David Gergen in and First Lady Hillary was slowly pushed out of the policy business. I do live in Virginia and Virginia will be just fine.

I served as an election official in Virginia for six years, and I did the "provisional ballot" thing in our precinct. You are not "required" to have ID. If you don't provide one, you are required to sign a form that states that you are who you claim to be. That ballot goes into the provisional basket, and those are judged and counted if necessary to determine the outcome.

Nor is Biden.

Don't get too excited. Biden is completely incompetent.

If Trump "represents the Republican Party," order the tombstone. The man is a financial fraud, a childish punk, has no leadership ability, in fact has never led anyone, and lives in his own fraudulently created imaginary universe.

I have never and will never vote for Trump. I hope the Republicans move towards a Nikki Haley, John Kasich, Paul Ryan candidate. If the Trump nonsense continues, it's an unforced error.

Without getting into one of the most contentious issues of our time, I do know one thing. When my wife informed me she was pregnant, each time, we considered it "life."

That would be one messy, nasty enterprise.

Dolphin stadium predictably way too empty.

At a minimum, let's just make sure we don't let this crew do a movie involving tactical airplanes.

Don't be. Whispering......(You see, I'm not really a sherpa). I was an airline captain. I flew to Sao Paulo about ten months/year for seven years. Brady's wife was on a couple.

In my career I've carried hundreds of celebs, sports folks, politicos and media. Brady's wife a couple times to Sao Paulo. They are all different. Some extremely nice and some unbelievable tools. The worst are the ones with "assistants."

The US Navy has been doing that for nearly a century, and they can move them.

Or realistic.

I think fans project far too much regarding professional sports. Get there. Get a win. Get home. That's about it. When you're done, get the contract you want.

Aviation forecasts in this format are in GMT, so it doesn't include game time. The current aviation forecast for the game time period calls for rain and a chance of a thunderstorm.

My son is a bulk order manager for Custom Ink. This is their business. I have an email in to him to see if they would be interested in connecting with the school and working it out. I'll see.

It would be best for everyone to shut up, especially on social media. The man has his views and he will live with them. Just now, he is a much needed and valuable part of this team. I don't know if he is getting any advice, but it would be much better for all concerned if he lived his life and dropped this apparent need to air his views on the basic issue and the fan's response. As well, better for supporters of this team to leave him alone.

I'm not as sanguine. The offense doesn't look near as unstoppable as last year. Last year wide outs were wide open. This year, not so.

A lot? It's one Sat night per week, and that may not be a bad thing.

I agree that it seems to be much more a factor in the last two years, and like you, I go back to 1963. Obviously, the facility was designed with the more open end on the east, since the prevailing wind is from the southwest. It would be quite simple to provide a structure neutralizes that opening. Aerodynamics is aerodynamics. A stadium is no different from any airfoil. Wind flows from high to low pressure, and is impacted by structure. It isn't magic. Storms that create one off issues are not a factor in Sep/Oct/Nov at that latitude. There is simply not enough energy in the atmosphere. The problem is easily solved once the data is known, and I don't think it would be that expensive. Again, it is becoming more an issue, and I'd like to see it addressed.

That's the obvious solution. Decades ago US Navy figured out figured out how to mitigate 700 degree, 500 mph exhaust from jets on the catapults at full power. They use jet blast deflectors, and the guy who's next to launch is 20 feet behind those tail pipes, with no influence other than noise. The winds in that area are predominately from the southwest. That's why the long runway is 5/23. 23 is 230 degrees, southwest. What I would do is start there, but I'd suggest placing six anemometers on the top and compile data during a season on strength and direction of flow. Using that data, I'd consider building an angled structure and deflecting the wind up and away. I was up there last Thurs-Sat last week for the first time in about twelve years. Stayed in a hotel not far from the stadium and it was windy as hell. I think the wind is too big of a factor at that location to not be dealt with and I think it would make Allen and Bass better which has some free agent ramifications, including wideouts.

That new stadium is a ways off. There are things that could be done now to mitigate the situation at the current facility. Of course having a stronger arm that results in higher velocity throws helps, but nobody can overcome winds once they get in the 20 knot range, and the swirling inside there truly impacts both the passing and kicking games.

Two comments, one on the game and another, far more complicated. The Bills defensive line got good pressure from the outside, but nothing from the inside. Heinicke stepped up repeatedly to avoid the outside, but nothing pressure wise inside. I am getting tired of the wind at that stadium. It seems to have become far more influential on game days. The last two years especially, it is impacting games. There are ways to mitigate it, and I think its time to consider engineering solutions. Ultimately it effects not only the team's performance, but free agent signings, especially kickers and QB's. Just a thought, but I think it's time.
