While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

This was a week of losing!

Barbie lost the Golden Globe for best comedy or musical, but won the new consolation category, "cinematic and box office achievement." Chris Christie decided not to lose and dropped out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination. A plane lost a door, a lunar lander lost fuel, and Tiger Woods and Nike lost each other.

And if you didn't pay attention, you'll lose at the quiz. We'll accept nothing but an 11/11 as a winning score.
