None of those prissy little Pennsylvania type waves up here in Seahawk
Land (where men are men, women are smiling, and sheep are
nervous)........

The Steelers are going to think they got whalloped by one of our
38-foot waves. :-)

COAST GUARD ENCOURAGES ALL MARINERS AND BEACHGOERS

TO USE CAUTION ALONG OREGON AND WASHINGTON COASTS


SEATTLE - The Coast Guard encourages all mariners and beachgoers along
Oregon and Washington coasts to use extreme caution Friday evening
through Saturday morning as the strongest cold front of the year moves
through the coastal areas.

The National Weather Service has issued storm and gale warnings for
Oregon and Washington coastal areas, and predict winds along the coasts
to reach up to 40 mph, with exposed areas seeing wind gusts up to 60
mph. Seas are predicted to reach as high as 38 feet onshore and
offshore.

Mariners and beachgoers are encouraged to use extreme caution before
heading to the coast this weekend and to check the National Weather
Service webpage for updated information at http://www.nws.noaa.gov/.

###

The U.S. Coast Guard is a military, maritime, multi-mission service
within the
Department of Homeland Security dedicated to protecting the safety and
security of America.

Here's to hoping your football prognostication abilities are holding
steady this year. Hawks 27, Steelers 24. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the refs
had it in for the Steelers, but they lost anyway.

Gawd how I hate the Steelers...........almost as much as I hate the Yankees.

However, I just don't see the SeaHawks pulling this one out. I hope they
prove me wrong.

All I want to see is the reel of clever commercials.


Even though we get the Boston version of ABC, CBS, NBC, and Rochester
version of Fox on our cable programing, there is some kind of agreement
that local commercials are inserted where the American commercials
usually show. If I want to see the super commercials during the Stuper
Bowl, I have to go to an internet site.

I personally think the teams are pretty evenly matched and either could
prevail.
With two very good quarterbacks in the game, this isn't going to turn
out to be one of those deadful 7-3 "ho-hummers"...............( a term
which reminds me of a guy who went looking for the former so he could
negotiate the latter)..........and with two good defenses I don't think
a blowout is in the works, either.

People who are dissing the Sea Hawks, IMO, have a case of East
Coastitis and many might even think that there's nothing west of the
Mississippi except sagebrush, sand fleas,
trailer parks, and the random Indian reservation. My opinion could be
wrong, as always. :-)

Personally will be:

1) Pleased that the home town team won the NFC and made it to the World
Championship game.

2) Extremely pleased if they win the game.

3) Hoping that we pound the Steelers just like those 38-foot waves are
pounding our coast today.

Although not big into football or the stupor bowl, I am finding myself
hoping the Sea Hawks win in an upset. The Steelers have won their share.

I was on the phone yesterday with someone in Nova Scotia...at a
Microsoft Tech Support call center. Gal said there were 1000 employers
there. Yikes. Anyway, she said she has satellite and NEVER watches
Canadian television.

Uh-oh.

Hate to hear that. Ratings for my former employer seem to be at an all
time low. (probably because of the 8 week lockout of it's employees last
summer) It's a strugle for 'Canadian content' to compete with American
programing.

no way...

pittsburgh 24 - seattle 3

play the under.

I'll bet you some smoked salmon against "whatever you got" back east
there.
You favor the Steelers by 21, but to be a gentleman I'll settle for the
Seahawks and
17. Are we on? :-)

Just make sure the "whatever you got" is a wager worthy of my smoked
salmon counterpart. It requires a lot of effort to smoke a salmon, but
half the battle is getting one of the darn things lit.

you are taking the seahawks AND giving me seventeen?

hmmmmmm - ok.


No, I'm betting that the Seahawks score, plus another 17 points, will
be a greater number than the Steelers score. You think the margin will
be 21 points, so I am offering you a four point "advantage" from your
perspective.

jeese louise - this is getting to be a habit.

well, i'm not a fan of smoked salmon - or salmon for that matter, but
id be willing to put up something from the east coast against
something from whatever it is in seattle you have.

can you eat shellfish?

I can't eat red shellfish, but clams, oysters, scallops, mussels, etc.
are fine.
