        Why not? I liked traveling on Italy's high speed trains. US is way behind Europe.

    In four or five generations, this country might actually get serious about getting their power from, you know, the wind and the sun too. 

    But for now, we'll pretend its still 1932 and coal is awesome!

    Well I can tell you for certain that from Abilene on up through a lot of eastern Colorado the number of electricity producing windmills has multiplied a hundredfold in the past 10 years. And for some reason I doubt they have caused too much cancer or killed millions of birds.  LOL!?

    3. Big RB matchup this week.    Who is the best RB in the league?  Henry,  Chubb, Cook, someone else?

        Henry-leads the league by far and is the key to how they run the offense. Gets stronger as the game goes on.

    It is not by that much....only 127 yards more than Dalvin Cook on 37 more carries.   Cook leads the NFL in TDs,  and has better YPG than Henry.  And, as I said, he is only 1.3 ypg behind Henry due to Henry's load. 

    So, in the main categories:

    Henry leads with  1257 yards.  Cook #2 at 1130

    Henry leads with  256 attempts;   Cook  #2 at 219  (and, by the way, Cook has only played 10 games to Henry's 11) Chubb only at 115 is 24th there. 

    Chubb leads RBs with  yards per attempt.  6.3.   (but QB Kyler Murray does have  6.7...and QB Daniel Jones has 7.3).  Eagles RB Miles Sanders is 2d here with 5.6 ypc.

    Cook has 13 TDs to lead.   Henry #2 with  12.

    Henry leads with 114. 3 yards per game.   Cook at 113.0.  Chubb at 102.7.

    Chubb leads in most  "Big Plays"  20+ yards with  10.   Henry is 2d with 8.

    Cook and Miles Sanders  lead with committing 3 fumbles on the season.    Chubb has just  1.   Henry solid there with -0- fumbles with all his carries.  Kareem Hunt also at -0........but has   99 fewer carries. 

    Henry leads with rushes for a first down with 64.  Cook only 2 back at 62.   Zeke Elliot 3rd at  47.

    Here is this week's survery.    Give your answers/opinions:

    1. Due to  Covid issues,   we have had Wednesday games, and some Tuesday games are being scheduled.   Are you liking these games on those days?

    2. Along that line,  it seems that the Steelers are whining to the league, telling them they are being jobbed.   Do they have justification?

    3. Big RB matchup this week.    Who is the best RB in the league?  Henry,  Chubb, Cook, someone else?

    4. Coastal Carolina is in the AP Top 25 in football.   Did you ever think you would see the day when that would happen?

    5. On the technology front:   The Hyperloop.   Is that a concept you can dig? 

    1.Yes

    2. No shut up stoolers

    3. Chubb

    4. In 2020 anything is possible 

    5. Sure but I’m guessing it won’t happen in my lifetime

    They are shooting for 2028.  Do you plan to die before then?

    If you saw the video, you would have seen that it takes very low energy output to power the hyperloop....that it could easily be done with  solar and wind.

    Don't know what it is.

    Its basically where they put people in the canisters that are used in drive thru banking.

    My comment about solar and wind power had to do with TexAg's comment about how far behind we are compared to other parts of the world, Gip. Nothing to do with how the Hyperloop would be powered. I sincerely hope it becomes a reality.

    Hey Gipper,

    Sorry about missing your surveys lately but I've been quite sick the last two weeks especially in the last few weeks.  Hopefully that will greatly improved soon.

    And on the good side I we got a few new gift cards.  🙂

    To get things started:

    4. Coastal Carolina is in the AP Top 25 in football.   Did you ever think you would see the day when that would happen?

    ND State has been the  powerhouse in D-1AA football over the recent years and has been in the top 25.   I'll guess we'll find out when they play the next game.

    YSU on February 21, 2021 at the FARGO COME vs ND State......if they can play the first game of the season.

    Talk about another covid-19 mess in the 2020 season. 

    See you again soon.
