Big Coca-Cola Polar Bear and even bigger (20’+) Christmas tree at the ranch
Today’s photo was taken in Beatty, Oregon about 3 hours before the winter solstice.

I had a different viewpoint for the Halloween parade this year. Next year I’ll try somewhere else as the Elks’ balcony was too crowded and most of the views were obstructed by trees that have yet to lose their leaves.

This year’s hall of fame class will also be recognized at halftime at tonight’s football game.
With the Raiders big road win yesterday in Montana, Massey has bumped Southern Oregon up in the computer rankings to #3. SOU will play Massey’s #12, #11, and #9 over the next three weeks. Two of those games are at home in Ashland. Massey has the Raiders as at least 7 point favorites in each contest.
The coaches’ poll comes out tomorrow. Don’t look for any major changes in the top nine from the coaches. The coaches don’t tend to move teams up unless the team in front of them lost. It will be interesting to see what they do with #2 Morningside. The Raiders were punished in the poll for losing to NCAA DI UC Davis, even though the Raiders accumulated more yards than Davis. Yesterday Morningside lost to an NCAA DIII team (Wisconsin-Whitewater) by two touchdowns. Massey says that UC Davis could beat Wisconsin-Whitewater by a touchdown. Will the coaches drop Morningside as much as they dropped the Raiders? I doubt it. Look for Morningside to slip barely out of the top five and the Raiders to still be at #9.
