I am home reading my weather report above.  
Let me say, it was WINDY and very CHILLY!  My toes have been cold all day!  
However, it was cold and most of us were chilly but it was fine. 
 I had my thermals on and it was fun to watch our DAWGS control the game today! 

Apparently, the wind was an issue with our side panels on our tents.  
Our tents went blowing in the wind while we were in the game.  
Thank you Mary Jordan and everyone for saving our tailgate!

Now I am watching the end of the USC and Notre Dame Game.... 
all those "What Ifs" are no longer a question. 
Notre Dame won and  Florida beat Florida State. 
Notre Dame is the only team left with a perfect season..... SO FAR!
