Tribute night for a Buffalo classic Opponent - Nashville Predators https://www.diebytheblade.com/2022/1/9/22874246/its-time-to-celebrate-rick-jeanneret-banner-april-1st-key-bank-arena-buffalo-sabres-nhl-hockey

Bills Fever: He did it again! Amazingly talented artist Eric Jones has created a snow-packed Josh Allen masterpiece in Cuba, NY (Allegany County) out of all the snow that fell here at the start of the week. The snow sculpture is 8 feet by 12 feet and is stunning! Jones, who lives in nearby West Clarksville, confessed to me a week ago that he was concerned due to the lack of snow so far this winter—all of that changed with Sunday night’s snowstorm. You can see this wintry work of art here at the Block Barn on South Street. Eric molded the sculpture Tuesday, carved it yesterday and talented artist Vincent Alejandro painted the sculpture this morning. This is terrific!

Stay North - to avoid the worst of the heat - Jacksonville and environs. St. Augustine gets pricey. Palm Coast is OK. Stay away from Gainesville and Tallahasee (college towns) IF you have to go south - Melbourne and Port St. Lucie are cool I am not familiar with the Gulf Coast

Been to Alaska twice on cruises - unbelievable. Most cruise lines only stop in Vancouver to cover the casino clause - You don't have to get off. Go to Anchorage - take the train to Seward - board there. If you have a lot of time - you can go to Denali - but it is just a mountain

I've been 3 times (once in the winter). The train ride from Williams is a must. I would go again tomorrow. Humbling barely describes it

If you have not been to the Grand Canyon - shame on you

Now that NYS is finally allowing on-line wagering - does anyone have advice on which one is best? I see : Fan Duel Draft Kings Caesars BetMGM Any feedback? I am not a big bettor - but like to have some action. Thanks

Tom Rudd and Bob Nelson were in the final negotiations for a Bills' contracts. On the plus side - "The Boss" released - I still have mine

As the quarantine measures start to dissolve - what is your first in person order at your favorite restaurant? I am torn between a classic Reuben and chimichanga. Wings and beef on week do not count.

1974 ? AM & A's - University Plaza (across from UB) - or was it Hen's & Kelly's ? - in the basement - used to be Grant's Anyway - 3 for $10 Beautiful Noise - Neil Diamond Who's Next B Springstein - Born to Run

I was then on the "new" UB North Campus in the Ellicott dorms The radio media made it like a countdown of doom - and they were right on schedule - white out My girl friend (now wife) went on a smokes/beer run with her posse and got into an auto accident while coming back from the 7-11 on Millersport Highway. Campus Security deposited her in my dorm room for the rest of the week. I worked part time for the dorm authority - They had me deputize friends for keeping the fire doors shoveled, pick up the worst of the garbage and make sure there was enough toilet paper - it was a fun few days The supply of booze & smokes was paramount - and one of the local pizza places did business off a snowmobile Good Times

Oakland @ Houston is the West coast game for Sunday

Meanwhile in San Diego http://www.sandiegozoo.org/pandacam/

the Chargers had plenty of tickets left last season and with the lockout - season tix renewals are down about 30% (unofficial sources) due to the lockout They will not be getting much of a rebound after that due the the team's lackluster play in 2010 The Chargers are already running season tix commercials on TV - mini packs will probably be next
