Bears Get Creamed
Ok it is 41-21 with 1:30 left in the game.
But it wasn’t that close; it was 31-7 at the half, with Arizona getting 4 drives between 70-85 yards on their first 4 possessions plus a field goal off of a field goal return.
The Bears did close to 34-21 off of touchdown set up by an interception but got no closer.
Oh well…

President Obama’s address to the National Academy of Science.
How well is President Obama doing at keeping his campaign promises? Here is an even handed running assessment.
Government is Good: a source of much is good about government.
This is my online diary. My facebook stuff is here.
Note: there is an interesting facebook application called Visible Vote by which you can record your opinions on various bills and see how your opinions compare to the votes made by your Senators and Representative.
I use this blog for the following purposes:
- To keep track of my training. I train for ultramarathons (I usually walk these) and sometimes do running races, bicycle rides and open water swims for variety. My best ultra accomplishment was walking 101 miles in 24 hours in 2004. There was a time when I could run a sub 40 minute 10K (did that once), but that was another lifetime ago; these a days 24 minutes for a 5K would be more like it. I also have an off and on interest in yoga.
- From time to time, I post what I am thinking about mathematically
- I often post links to science articles, especially articles about cosmology and evolution.
- I am very sympathetic to the “new atheist” movement, though some might consider me to be an agnostic. I reject any notion of a deity that interferes with physical events, but remain agnostic to the idea that there might be something “grand and wonderful” (Dawkins’ phrase) outside of our current spacetime continuum.
- I am a liberal Democrat who thinks that the current social atmosphere is tilted way too far toward the interests of big business, and I reject the idea that a “free market” cures all ills, though pure socialism doesn’t work either. I am also a believer in the freedom of speech, including speech that I might not like. Also, I’ve been involved (to a moderate degree) with political campaigns, ranging from City Council races up to Presidential races. I back Barack Obama enthusiastically. As far as John McCain: I admire his courage and military service but he simply doesn’t have the ability to grasp the nuances of world affairs; he simply isn’t up to the job.
- Since being targeted by neo-nazis, I’ve started to identify with the anti-racist and the anti-fa movements.
- I like to post photos of trips and vacations.
- I sometimes blog about boxing matches and football games.
- I like women in spandex.
- This is where the old blog blueollie migrated to. My old posts can be found here.
