I'm sorry Luciano, but I don't know anything about it beyond what I posted. Good luck, and Happy Hunting! Thanks, Dan!

Week 4 review https://www.cfl.ca/2024/07/02/landrys-5-takeaways-from-week-4-3/ ***** Power Rankings https://pifflespodcast.com/blog/piffles-power-rankings-week-5/ ***** GA Russell's Power Rankings Montreal (apparently better than everyone else) BC (good enough to win) Toronto (not impressive last week) Edmonton (I'm a believer.) Calgary (decent, no more) Sask (Without Harris, maybe they should be last.) Ottawa (They've won twice.) Winnipeg (Injuries can be explained. What's the problem with the O-line?) Hamilton (If they can't beat the Redblacks, who can they beat?) ***** Looking at my picks of last week, it is apparent why I am not rich from betting on Canadian league games! GA Russell's Week 5 picks Toronto over Sask (We'll see if Patterson has potential.) Winnipeg over Ottawa (The Bombers are at home.) Montreal over Calgary (Against the Als, anything good the Stampeders do will be a small surprise.) BC over Hamilton (It's easy to see the Ticats losing their next eight games.)

Happy Dominion Day! ***** Ottawa 24....Hamilton 22 Terrific game between two evenly-matched bad clubs. Ward won it with a field goal on the last play of the game.

Very good, but some of the chapters were unnecessarily confusing.

Mr. Smith, who is 95, goes to the doctor for his annual check up. The doctor suggests that he get exercise. He tells the doctor that he likes to play golf. But because of his eyes, he can no longer see where he hits the ball. The doctor suggests he get in touch with Mr. Jones, who is also 95. He tells him, “Mr. Jones has the eyes of an eagle. He can see for miles and miles.” So Mr. Smith gets in touch with Mr. Jones, and makes an appointment to play golf. When they get to the golf course, Mr. Smith gets up to the tee, and asks Mr. Jones if he will watch the ball to see where it goes. He asks, “Are you sure you can see where I will hit my ball?” Mr. Jones replies, “Of course I can see where you hit the ball. I have the eyes of an eagle. I can see for miles and miles.” Mr. Smith hits the ball. He asks Mr. Jones if he saw where he hit the ball. Mr. Jones says, “Of course I saw where you hit the ball. I told you I have the eyes of an eagle. I can see for miles and miles." Mr. Smith then asks, “Where is my golf ball?" Mr. Jones replies, “I forget.”

I like to listen to a lot of surf guitar during the summertime.

After four games, the Elks are winless.

RIP Martin Mull! I was a frequent viewer of Fernwood 2Night. I remember his telling a concert audience that one of his songs was called, "You Came Across on the Mayflower, So What's Wrong with the Holiday Inn?" I was surprised to read a few years ago that he was the author of the quote frequently attributed to Charles Mingus, "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture."

BC 24....Edmonton 21 Sean Whyte won it with a field goal on the last play of the game. That's two weeks in a row that the Elks have lost to a walk-off field goal.
