OJ, we actually utilized our neighbors for the burn. One wasn’t shy about dousing the pile with kerosene to get rid of it! And, let them burn up the big spot in their yard, not mine!

We still have a bunch of ‘hangers on,’ big branches that won’t fall, and we’ve done the outdoor fire pit thing way more than I’d have ever imagined we’d do. Thank goodness for a mild fall.

It has been ridiculous, but fun, we’ve had some great drunken times on these fires!

I guess we’ll have those same good times in the spring.

haha, Rick…I’m actually surprised we didn’t have more tree damage to clean up from that storm. Wore the chainsaw blade out though, it needs a solid sharpening before we work on hacking everything down to size…I’m sure not doing that by hand. I’d sooner drag it and stack a pile and burn it all, but our neighbor is awful touchy about the burning of any brush…she swears we’re trying to burn her house down.

on David Wilson: considering some of the hits he takes from defenses while scoring those touchdowns and the risks involved in making those runs, it seams that a controlled back flip or two would be less dangerous for him. “heart” wins football games also and I believe that the 2012 version of the Redskins are experiencing much of that heart from RGIII. Does Dallas or NY have that asset going for them? time will tell. Anyway it is good to finally see some home grown talent succeeding in the pros, and the pro home team seeing success also.

Ozzie Smith did a backflip every time he ran onto the field for the St Louis Cardinals, for about twenty years. 162 times a year for around two decades. Carl Edwards does a backflip off his car(!!!) every time he wins a NASCAR race. If David Wilson wants to expend that little amount of energy celebrating scoring another TD in the NFL, what’s the problem? I’d much prefer seeing him do that than some long choreographed dance routine. Doing a backflip is horseplay? Compared to all the outher touchdown celebrations we see weekly?

Come on, folks, let him enjoy the moment…

Nice to see an area young man do well. Give the flips a rest.

I believe the Redskins have beat the cow patties once this year.

Wilson was very close to a fumble on that goal line stretch. He was very fortunate to not be the fumble goat again. He definitely has a fumble problem and I don’t think he has the maturity to restrain himself from fumbling.

The maturity is definitely in question, thus the back flips. He likes the attention that things like climbing the cassell, chasing rabbits, wearing suits to class and that crazy car bring.

Then again he is who he is and that’s what got him this far, so have fun and try cut back on the fumbles just a little.

I agree that Wilson should stop doing those crazy flips; reminds me of the year that Ohio State played Florida in the NC and Ted Guinn was horsing around in practice before the game and ended up out with an injury before the game started. There is too much at stake for the Giants for this horseplay. They might have to face dem’ Cowboys again before it is all over.
