Well, that’s it for this week, folks. A couple more days of good skiing out there and then back to the El Nino winter, I’m afraid. Also, the Packers play this weekend. In my book, they’ve already won because they’re playing this weekend. See you Monday.

Speaking of the Packers, this Bears fan notes that the 49ers are favored by 9 1/2 points over Green Bay. I have to wonder if these oddsmakers actually saw the Packers utterly dismantle the Cowboys on their home field?? If we had legalized sports betting in Wisconsin I would definitely toss in $20 and take the Packers and the points. It would not surprise me in the slightest to see the Packers win outright. Their offense was unstoppable in Dallas, and they’re peaking at the absolute right time of the season.
