Gearing Up For Princeton

The forecast for tomorrow night's nationally televised game out of Princeton is 62 degrees and clear skies at the 6 p.m. kickoff with wind out of the west-northwest at 9 mph. It should still be a pleasant 56 degree when the game wraps up.

EXTRA POINT
Before I got the latest COVID booster and a flu shot yesterday the pharmacist asked which arm would be better. She said getting both shots at one time could lead to soreness and so I told her to use my right. arm. All I can say is when she warned there could be some soreness, she wasn't kidding. Good thing I write and eat with my left hand.
