DR George, the Michigan football coach was fired “for cause” on Wednesday.  In my football opinion it’s no loss, but it’s a huge embarrassment to the university that I could do without.

Oh, no! :o

The “for cause” was despite being married with 3 kids, he was having an affair with his young staffer, who he allegedly stalked and threatened after she broke up with him. After which she went to the school to let them know what had happened. After which he broke into her house and threatened to kill himself with some kitchen knives and scissors.

Wow, I hadn't read all of the details.  It sounds like he needs help.

I think we’ve only heard the tip of the iceberg of this story.

The next trip to Disneyland will be a pretty tight fit, I think. Whenever that may be.

Could you trade cars with your son for the trip?

His car is my old car, which has a LOT of miles on it. The car I have now is pretty low mileage. I'd rather take mine.

Oh dear.

Last night I tried to reserve a veggie box. My credit card was declined, which makes no sense to me.

So DH went shopping today, since we won't be getting a box.

True.  He must have been scary though for her to go public and admit an affair with a married man.

I forgot it was your old car.  Your car is better to drive.

When we first moved to Ashland there was a car rental place withing ten minutes of our house.  A few times we took advantage of of the great deals they offered and rented a car to drive to LA.  We figured the cost of the rental more than compensated for the wear and tear on our car.

Those days of great deals are long gone.

That is a relief but do you still need the box?

I'm probably going to have about 20 pounds of cucumbers.

It takes a lot of cucumbers to feed 100 people.

Some of my colleagues are still working. At one point today, there were over 2,000 calls in the queue - some waiting 3 hours.

A high school friend of mine lives in Bellingham, WA. I just heard from her that she is OK.

But my heart goes out to all those affected by the severe flooding.
