Three hurricanes, three losses
God just doesn’t like Florida.
Miami #3, Florida State #5 and Florida all lost Saturday. All three hadn’t lost on the same day since 1978.
Bless us all Chester
Albloggerque posted this Wednesday (sorry I missed it before now):
DOWNTOWN–Chester Nez rests on a plaza bench after the Kerry rally. Many in Boston credit Mr. Nez for breaking the Curse of the Bambino with a Navajo blessing. The WWII Code Talker and Congressional Gold Medal winner blessed the Kerry campaign in Albuquerque Tuesday night.
Apparently the Boston Red Sox called on Chester Nez to come to Boston and give a Navajo blessing to the Red Sox last April. After the team lost its 3 games to the Yankees in the ALCS they called him again. The local story goes that he walked out of his Albuquerque home, faced Fenway Park, and gave a blessing.
Now the Kerry campaign has him on stage with JK. And last night in Albuquerque’s Civic Plaza there he was extracting corn pollen from a little leather bag and letting it sift into the air in all 4 directions. The thousands of people at the rally were hushed during the brief ceremony…
Albloggerque has a couple of photos.

Strange
NewMexiKen is away from home in a part of the country where they don’t have presidential campaign advertising because the states are not in contention like New Mexico.
How calm it all seems.
