Each team was very determined to win the game, but The Ducks ended up winning with final score 55-16 (Go Ducks!! ) Even with the rain pouring like crazy, the Autzen Stadi...

The last two days has been very wet and windy in my part of town. We have a lot of oak trees and a couple of large pine trees around our house, so our yard is now covered with leafs and pine needles. Our back deck looks like a messy little jungle, and the gardener decided not to come because it’s...
