Blue_true's JournalI listened to Jo Swinson's speech to the Liberal Democrats.
I understand why Labor MPs are jumping ship to join the LD. Swinson is an impressive leader, she has a clear and concise message that is achievable and she is not apologizing or giving mixed signals like Corbyn. This Yank believes that after Boris pipes you guys, Ms Swinson will be the PM that brings Great Britain back to world prominence.
2019 NFL penalties.
I read an article where Troy Aikman indicated that there were too many penalties being called in games so far this season. The statistic for this season did appear to be the highest recorded.
What I see is officials get the calls right most of the time once video review is checked, so I question Aikman's complaint, but he is a Hall of Fame player (and maybe some day, Announcer) who knows what he is seeing.
In thinking about the issue, my guess is that two things can be done. Holding penalties should be reviewed, as well as blocking from behind. I see calls for both penalties where a player is a little off on the angle, but made a clean block. The second thing would be making officials full time employees and paying them enough so that no other job appeals to them. Since they get assigned to games, their travel, reasonable meals and lodging SHOULD already be being paid for by the NFL. What officials working year around does, IMO, would be to give them time to become highly familiar with new rules and evaluate every penalty and wrong non-call from the past season, the idea is that they should become more uniform in their calls and increase their accuracy rate.
I thought about penalizing coaches that throw jackass challenge flags, but doing that may have an unintended negative effect on the game.
Do you think there are too many penalties being called? If so, what would be your solution.

How many companies have left your locations for the European continent? What type of effects are happening in your economies? It seems Britain is weak and adrift at this point.
Goldielocks weather months.
As soon as we weather the hurricane season, we get to enjoy four months of mild weather before the cold snaps start. I can sense it starting now, the nights cool down considerably once the sun goes down, the gentle wind current across the peninsula. The time of year that makes living in Florida worthwhile.
