I have done the team a massive favour and bet a few English pounds on a Boro/Man City double.....the traitorous bastard that I am. Cue up a stunning 3-0 victory for Rangers
On road trip to California from Florida, making good time and will maybe try to follow our game enroute. We passed San Antonio late last time, where the Alamo is, drove on a couple of hours and spent night, by sheer luck at a wonderful AirBNB in a small town called Comfort that is near Fredericksburg and Stonewall, but apparently not the Civil War battle site where I believe the Confederates beat the Union army badly and Confederate General Stonewall Jackson was shot by mistake at a checkpoint by his own sentry at night. Driving on to El Paso on I-10 today then on to Phoenix, head north on I-75 to I-40 at Flagstaff, Arizona, apparently a town on top of a mountain top, then west towards California through the Mojave Desert on the I-40. I am using Exxon Mobile Cash Gas cards on this trip which are great as you can buy them on a a debit or credit card and hey the 10c gallon cheaper gas price, versus credit. You just stick the $25 or $50 card into the pump terminal pump that amount and either through the card away, or if $50 card and you pump $4O, $10 stays on the card for next. With .Canadian credit card sometimes not always accepted at pump, you have go in, line up and say ask for $50 that you pay on say pump 1. Now if you don't pump $50, they say $10 goes back on card, but then you have the US to CAN FX back and forth. Anyways hope our R's can pull one out of the bag today! Go west young man they used to say over here, and that's where I'm headed, like my homeless Florida man, Jim, who aged 21 in the early 1970's drove his mother to a cancer operation in California in a souped up, by him 1971 Charger driving he said at 100mph through the desert, no cops as no coffee/donut shops. He was there was 6 weeks as his mother recovered, then drove back. Imagine that, a young buck, in California, in early 1970's for 6 weeks, birds, booze and beach, with a fancy car, surfers paradise.
Like most of us, I will be watching in hope rather than expectation today. Can't see us getting anything but humiliated..............again.
