Nemmers Scrum

Hello Footballers,

I hope everyone is having a good weekend.  I’m sure Paul, Kevin and Team Sherburne are resting a little easier having scored a win with Minnesota’s defeat of the Redskins on Thursday night.  Well done, y’all.

For the other players still in the race, the pics heavily lean toward the Rams, but Buffalo, New Orleans, New England and Seattle all have one picker each.  So, lots of games to keep an eye on while you are waiting for Game 5 of the World Series to roll around.

Also, I wanted to include a couple pictures from our week here in Dallas. The tornado that came through Sunday night was VERY CLOSE to our house. On the map below, the red line is the path of the tornado with 130 mph winds, and the blue dot on the bottom left is our house. So, we were ok, but we had lots of friends who lost power and trees. Traffic has been a nightmare as most roads south of us are closed and dangerous (but getting better every day).  And, we know one family who lost everything.  There were 3 schools that were a total loss in our district, and about a dozen others that were closed for a few days. Lots of private schools and businesses – including our local Home Depot and favorite neighborhood book store – are a total loss. DISD moved 3000 students to new facilities in 36 hours, and the private schools are hustling to clean up and reopen. But, it’s all so heartbreaking. So, say a little prayer for our community. They could use it.

The pictures here are of the path of the tornado from a Dallas Morning news article, (I added the dot for our house), and a picture of a high school gym that’s 3 blocks from us that got hit.
