Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

I don't know about you folks, but after having a lot of warmer winters with not too much snow, this one's been a real grouch!! Coldest, windiest, snowiest winter in some time.
Now we are headed for Summer solstice, yay....is it Spring yet?
Yep, the days only get longer now, with equal light and darkness on the Spring Equinox, March 20th. We gotta ways to go, with snow shoveling (for some of us) in between!
Shocking seeing what Ida has done! If just the Hurricane 4 damage to the coastal area it would have been a disaster as it was. But the rain/wind even tornado activity in the North East last night was evidence of a super storm that just keeps on destroying.. I believe it is still fairly active as it goes thru The Maritimes in Canada.
Because of the drought we had, and the above average temps, wasps have been a real pain in the (wherever they sting you)! They have been hungry for the last few weeks, and they sure like the smell of wine on our balcony! Our so called trap is not doing very well.
But yesterday I got a surprise as I sat down outside. Just as my back was easing onto the chair, I felt this sharp little jolt in my back. Didn't even see it, but it really did feel like a sharp "sting". Left a little bump as well!
Applied vinegar and it might have helped, because the bump subsided fairly quickly.
I have hardly ever been stung, to my knowledge 2 times before, but this one hurt the most.
The boys were telling me about all the golfers they know who have been stung lately, often in the back. Like my daughter said, they sure are little backstabbers!!!
We're feeling the remnants of Ida. Confirmed tornado touched down in Annapolis, which is 20 minutes from here. Trees down, damage to buildings, power outages. Lots of flooding. Haven't heard of any injuries.
We've had another very warm/sometimes hot, dry summer. Drought like. Evidence of wasps running out of food so early (they love to invade us up on the balcony, with glasses of wine to attract them), and more grasshoppers than usual. Too dry until days like today, when we finally get a lot of rain. I think it's too late for the farmers, but if some benefit, all the better.
Yes, I know, I know... Meanwhile, I can only see Soviet concrete blocks as far as I can see out of the window... At least, it's sunny. I hope I'll be able to get there next summer, even if it's just for a week or two!
Hang tough 2MW. Crazy thing about climate here in the last 5 - 10 years, Summers warmer and drier on average, winters shorter and less cold streaks....but autumns that seem shorter, and goofy springs that appear to begin earlier but drag on...
It's weird how us "northerners" can gradually get used to colder temps as the winter comes on. What you thought was cold in early winter gets to be fine a month or so later. BUT, most of us have a limit. For example, a wind chill that bites through your exposed skin in no time. Conversely, I know a lot of folks here, who like me, do not like it too mild in the middle of winter because it's messier in the streets, and sometimes icier as well. I actually don't mind it a little cold when driving, when the roads are dry. It's almost like driving in summer. But when you are in the middle of winter and the temperature hovers around freezing, it can be dangerous...and as no doubt, "wash car regularly" time!
Don't get me wrong...I like a milder winter than when it gets really cold. When we were playing outdoor hockey, I would love a calm day, but no warmer than -10C (14F). You could work up a sweat any higher than that. And yes yes...as I get older, the sooner I want spring!!!! The only issue with that, given we have a Red River that can swell up easy, is a quick melt, and some heavier early rain....which can be a problem for many, especially those near the river.
Don't think my body could handle those temps. "Wash car regularly" time?
