The weekly post of extra stuff. This week there is extra Allie, as Catember comes to a close I had a few extra pictures of her playing on her scratching post that didn’t make the daily cut.
Interesting slogan they have there … Some words are nouns and verbs, and you should be careful with them.
We were also doing a little cat sitting. This is not Allie, but a friend’s cat:
And that cat has a sibling. They both like my shoes:
Another video, shot just this evening. Just trees and clouds and a piano, in case you needed 60 seconds to be contemplative about something.

The weekly post that exists just to hold pictures, and sometimes videos, that haven’t otherwise found a home on the site. Hey, it fills a day. On with it then.
When my tire shed the tread on the interstate the other day it did a bit of damage to my car.
Very unfortunate.
I gather that this is an old logo Samford used to use. It is hanging in one of the recreational buildings today:
For my lovely wife I always get at least two cards, a cute or silly one and a more appropriate one. Lately I’ve also been taking photographs or videos of the card I did not get. This is one of those cards:

This week’s place holding post of extra photos is thin, but look at all of the pictures that made their way here yesterday. Also I’ve been alternately busy and too uncomfortable this week to seek out a lot of pictures. It all works out is what I’m saying.
Here’s Nova, who had the pre-game flight yesterday. We tried the spot just underneath his release point this time. It gives an interesting perspective.
An Auburn field goal early in the game. See the ball?
Even sitting in the stands hurts. For the next game I may go to an empty section and just stretch out.
Auburn started the day at 2-0 and was set to welcome conference foe Mississippi State in their SEC opener. It was to be a dramatic game. Before we get to that, here are some of the fans, which is what you’re really here for:
Freshman Elijah Daniel almost gets home to shut down Dak Prescott who was pretty much having his way all over the field. He threw for 213 yards and ran for 134, including a long of 47. Also he registered two touchdowns. The guy was pretty good.
Robenson Therezie, 27, had three tackles and three assists.
But after all that, it got tense.
Auburn was down 17-20. Their defensive back turned QB lead Auburn out to start their last drive at their own 12 yard line with 1:50 on the clock. Marshall had already had a day. He turned a dropped snap into a 77-yard touchdown pass and later caught a deflected pass himself and turned that into a 37-yard reception.
Nick Marshall kept the ball on the first snap and then without a care in the world threw three straight passes to Marcus Davis to get out to the 47 yard line. Jaylon Denson caught a pass to move things down to State’s 37 and that got the crowd thinking about the possibility of a field goal.
The next four plays were two rushes by Marshall and two incomplete passes. No one was thinking about field goals when Tre Mason carried from the 14 to the 11. Auburn took a timeout with :15 on the clock.
And then Marshall called for the snap and looked to his right, where C.J. Uzomah worked a double move toward the corner. It all looked like this:
Those last few aren’t perfectly crisp. I was 75 yards away and in the upper deck. But the Tigers win 24-20 to start their season perfect before going on the road next week to LSU.
