I think what they want to stay away from is having a huge family gathering.  I know when I was a kid we would have around 40 people at our house with aunt, uncle's and cousin.  We don't have that any longer and just have my parents, my kids and my brothers family.  I would think just having immediate family and a gathering around 10-12 would be fine.

 

Correct.  But, the same people/media that are calling for small Thanksgiving gatherings should have been outraged about the large street gatherings all spring and summer.  Yet, they never said a word about it.  That's my point.

DJ won the tournament today.

In defense of @mrflynn03while I disagree with his position of celebrating as usual on Thanksgiving, he is 100% spot on about one thing.  And, that is that the media didn't say boo when massive congregations of people were gathering in the streets every night for 3-4 months straight.  It's simply not right to pick and choose what gatherings you criticize.  It's hypocritical and leads to much of the resentment some people have.

This leader board has the makings of being something very special.

What the OC was doing on the sideline before this? Coloring?

He's been studying a lot of film from football teams/games from around the world.

Short week road win vs division opponent. Have the tiebreaker. Not much to complain about if I'm a Colts fan right now. 10 days until next game. 6-3 and things still aren't clicking.....I don't know I'd be happy.

Very happy with the game tonight.  Especially love the blocked punt for the TD since the Colts are my Fantasy D.

good win for the Colts.  

Why the hell was Wilkins running on 4th and goal.  Hines should have been on the field.

That was freakin unbelievable.

For those of you that are Indiana residents, I found a link that captures cases by zip code.  Not sure how often the data is updated.  And, not every zip code is disclosed.  But, for those that are reporting, the highest % in the state by a significant margin, at 13.5% of the population is 47406.  That just happens to be the zip code for the part of Bloomington that includes the IU campus.

https://hub.mph.in.gov/dataset/covid-19-cases-by-zip

This site color categorizes Covid geographically based on a variety of options.  The end result is that if you have more than 25 cases per 100,000 people for a 7 day moving average, you are considered in Red status.  Of the 93 counties in Indiana, 92 of them are in Red status.  Only Brown County, at 24.6 cases per 100,000 residents is not.

Anyone else loving the implosion that is Tom Brady and the Bucs tonight?

I'm in PA and our kids have been back to school in person since late August. There have been cases at all level, though mostly at the Middle School and High Schools, but something that they've found through contact tracing is that the cases are not originating in the schools and there is very little, if no, spreading within the schools. 

More credence that masks do indeed work, as our schools mask policy is pretty strict. 

Same here.  Even when a couple of our sports teams had cases this fall, it was kids  on those teams that attended an event unrelated to school that contracted the virus.

Indiana reported more new cases today than California.

5,007 new cases in Indiana reported today.

Nope. Older Jenny. Robin Wright played her. I've been blown away since finding this out. Of course I'm not Mr. Movie so maybe it's common knowledge but not to me.

Never made that connection.  Very surprising.

A mouse.  However, we're planning on having him put down.

Anybody have songs they dislike? The station I listen to plays a wide span of music, but lately they seem to have fallen in love with Lewis Capaldi. I have to shut it down, to me he’s like listening to Ben Stein teach economics in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off!

If I could turn back time.......I would take steps to ensure this song was never recorded.

The news about Colonial Crester has put me in a reflective mood.  I lost my dad way too soon many years ago (he was 45).  This was his favorite gospel song and we played it at his funeral (not the Alan Jackson version though).

When I was a kid and a younger adult, I loved Thanksgiving.  Both my mom and dad were from large families.  My mom's family always got together on the Holidays.  I would play hours of cards and watch football with more cousins, uncles, and aunts than you could count.  The food/meal has never been the 'best' thing about Thanksgiving for me.  It was always the coming together of family.

Now that a lot of the older generation has passed and many of the younger generation has spread out, it's just not the same anymore.  Would much prefer to just be home with the wife and kids, which is what we are doing this year.  A couple of years ago, we did Disney over Thanksgiving and that was very nice as well.

We now have 20 positives in our church

 Church and gatherings are keeping this going. We have done virtual church since March

 

Very concerned that extended family gatherings for Thanksgiving will cause a major spike.  My extended family is having one, but my wife, kids, and I will not be attending.
