This morning I spied and photographed an Iceland Gull. And, as the name implies, a bit off of it's regular turf.

Beat the raking and bagging that came later. Maybe 20% into that ongoing task. My big silver maple hasn't even dropped leaves yet. Nor the neighbors oaks that will cover half my yard later.

From our tailgating spot, about an hour ago we watched three jets land (OK, we didn’t actually see them land,but close enough) at the Ames Airport. Wonder if Matthew McConaughey was on any of them. Don’t agree with his university choice, but I’d get my picture taken with him….

Someone even brought in a G6! After talking with a G6 pilot after the game he was surprised since the average brakes off weight of the G6 is higher than the rated weight of runway 01/19 at Ames.

If he wants to go he probably just rides the team charter.
 
Speaking of tickets, we found your gift when we returned home. I was feeling so crappy I don't think I ever thanked you! Cy is right up there on the shelf with our Cyclone Gnomes. :D
I'm glad to hear you received it. Thanks again. We had so much fun that weekend. My voice still isn't fully recovered from all the catching-up that I did with old friends.

My parents' silver maple doesn't drop it's leaves until mid-January.
 
I may be getting myself in trouble for the TCU game. My sister is coming into town that day, and we're having Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday, so I have a spit-ton of cooking to do on Friday (the day of the game). So we gave our tickets to a dear friend, our former pastor (now retired). He's a TCU alum and a hardcore TCU fan, but not dooshey about it. He's a really great guy. Be nice to him, @wxman1 !

Our Bradford pear in front would give it a run for the money. At least we only have one now -- city cut down the other one early on in COVID because it was poorly maintained from the start and would probably have cracked down the center during a strong wind. Nothing to do with COVID except timing -- we were home and I talked with the city forester before the job.

I will be the judge of that! I suppose I will try and watch my mouth too...
