It was another day in the cold. I was up and out by 7:30, but not to take my walk. I really need to but today I needed to go check on some business in Enid. I did stop in Perry for breakfast at the McD’s and they were slow? not sure what the problem was but they usually are really fast there but today it appeared they had New Years hangover? Anyway back on the road and making the drive in from I-35 I pass several watershed lakes… this time of year , if they are not froze, there are a lot of geese and ducks in that area but today it appeared they had picked on one lake in particular and there were enough of the birds to keep some of the water open and not froze up… ? It was a really weird site..
It is a long way to the dam from the highway I was setting on… and this does not really show the number of birds out there, although they do look thick here right?
What about this, some in the air too…
A few more lifting off… ?
One of them stared and they all seemed to need to head out?
Just an odd shot with geese in foreground, back ground, on the ice, in the water, more than can be counted…
I got all my checks done… a little disgusted with one place that was supposed to put out flowers and had not… but the rest of the trip was ok.
Got home, had some lunch… got back to house and did some small things and then went to the Girls game with Texas Tech… It started out fine… then the referees got into the game and totally screwed up the rhythm and then the game got ugly… fast… in the end we lost but I can say one things… it probably was the worst called game I have been to in 5 years… There were a lot of calls and then the ref’s look at each other and go “ok what do we call now"?” type looks… a lot of really late whistle and the game had moved on so the call was way out of sync… several calls by the ref’s on the back side that could not see what happened but just knew something did so call it anyway… it really appears to be Mary Muffet setting on a Tuffet (no calls) and Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb… Absolutely the worst… Those three need for the crowd to take up a collection for glasses and training videos, and I am sure we will end up seeing some of them again… hopefully not in the same threesome so someone in the group will actually know what it going on…
Enough of my rant… I know that I am a bit partial but the ref’s weren’t they called it bad for everyone…
