If they can overcome the loss of their starting quarterback to an arm injury they have a good chance to go all the way.

Sounds good. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I'm at Mosaic Stadium, the home of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, waiting for the game between the Riders and the Ottawa RedBlacks to start in 35 minutes.

The Riders beat Ottawa 35 - 32 in double overtime! Go Riders Go!

Eating home made no-bake cookies that do not contain egg or dairy (I am allergic). It amazes me what I can still eat sometimes, ha ha.

Great!

Great!

It came right down to the very last play in the game.

I'm not a great football fan so I get the names mixed up! I remember the
Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the B.C, Lions of course but the Roughriders were first I thought. I couldn't figure out why they were called theRoughriders because all the ranches and cowboys were out here I thought!
A little history lesson for a fellow Canadian, scifan? Please?

There are several theories such as Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders in the Spanish American war and early RCMP officers being called Roughriders. Here's the Wikipedia article about it. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatchewan_Roughriders#The_Regina_Roughriders

Installing iOS 8.0.1 on my iPad Air.

Did you manage to finish before Apple pulled the update? Apparently it was only available for about an hour.

 

[J. A.]

It's installed on both my iPads. I installed it without problems, and I didn't have problems so far. It seems that mostly iPhones are affected.

So is seems that I'm more than up to date now.

That's certainly good to know. Apparently the problems were almost entirely restricted to the iPhone 6 and 6 plus.

OKAY, I finally found the issue of banning Smartphones! It was about a pub/bar in downtown Vancouver. They decided to ban Smartphones to get people to talk to each other!
The article I found was quite interesting! One guy said it was like going through rehab! He was frantic at first, now he loves it!
I myself have never had a cell phone of any kind so I don't have a clue what it feels like.
However, I did panic when I thought I lost my iPad earlier this year!

Living on the edge. Updating iPad to iOS 8.02. The phone will be next, but not before I do a quick scan of the news/blogs for warnings.

Now, a quick dog walk while I wait for the iPad to finish.
