Cousins' 4 TD passes lead Skins past eliminated Bills 35-25
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) As Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder paced nearby, 20 or so of his team's players gathered in the trainer's area off the locker room Sunday, delighted by their own just-completed victory and waiting to find out exactly how big a deal it was.
Left tackle Trent Williams and other Redskins watched the closing seconds of their NFC East rival New York Giants' loss on TV, letting loose a loud celebration - raised arms, fist pumps, yells of ''Yes!'' - at the end. After last-place finishes in six of the last seven years, Washington is closing in on clinching a playoff berth.
Inspiring a soundtrack of ''You like that!'' chants in the stands, Kirk Cousins equaled his career high with four touchdown passes and ran 13 yards for another score, helping the Redskins win consecutive games for the first time in more than a year and stay atop the division standings by beating the Buffalo Bills 35-25.
''We had a lot on our hands. Everybody said we couldn't win back-to-back games,'' said receiver DeSean Jackson, who turned a short throw from Cousins into a 77-yard TD. ''So this was the first time in a long time we were able to get accomplished what we wanted to get accomplished.''
The Redskins (7-7) can secure a spot in the postseason by winning next Saturday night at the Philadelphia Eagles,
''We still have a dogfight in front of us. And we can't walk before we crawl, put it like that,'' Williams said. ''We've got to focus on the Eagles.''
The Bills (6-8) are now assured of missing the playoffs for the 16th year in a row, the longest active drought in the NFL.
''Did it go according to plan? No, not this year,'' said Rex Ryan, in his first season as Buffalo's coach.
Said defensive end Mario Williams: ''Of course there's going to be changes. That's obvious. You just wait and see if your number is called, that's all.''
Making Ryan's defense look inept, and aided by a key fourth-down encroachment penalty, the Redskins scored TDs on each of their first three possessions of a game for the first time since September 1999, grabbing a 21-0 lead midway through the second quarter.
Even when Washington made a potentially bad mistake of its own - rookie returner Jamison Crowder fumbled a punt near midfield - Buffalo couldn't take advantage. The Bills drove all the way to Washington's 1, but running back LeSean McCoy got stuffed twice, before Tyrod Taylor overthrew Sammy Watkins by a ton in the end zone on fourth down.
''That was a huge stop,'' Redskins coach Jay Gruden said.
After Buffalo made it 28-17 with a two-play, 85-yard drive - capped by the first of Taylor's two TD passes to Watkins - the Redskins responded with a 13-play, 80-yard drive. That ended with Cousins' 5-yard TD toss to Pierre Garcon early in the fourth quarter.
Fans repeatedly responded to touchdowns with full-throated serenades of ''You like that!'' - a reference to what Cousins screamed as he trotted to the locker room after a comeback victory earlier this season.
''I had to turn my headsets up a little bit,'' Gruden said. ''I couldn't hear play calls and all that stuff.''
Cousins hit tight end Jordan Reed for a pair of scores in the first half. Jackson spun away from defensive back Corey Graham for his long score in the third quarter.
''I never thought he was Jerry Rice,'' Ryan said about Jackson. ''But I guess I was wrong.''
Cousins completed his first nine passes and finished 22 for 28 for 319 yards and no interceptions. It was his sixth 300-yard passing day of the season, a franchise record. He equaled another club mark, set way back in 1967 by Hall of Famer Sonny Jurgensen, by starting the season with at least one TD throw in 14 straight games.
''He's definitely gotten better,'' Trent Williams said. ''We had faith in him the whole time. But he continues to grow and he's playing lights-out.''

I have been writing an article on lead mining in Wales so I thought I would take a look at Van mine near Llanidloes as I was passing nearby.
Once one of Wales' largest lead mines. It closed in 1921 and there is not much left now to make sense of except for two chimneys.

A shrub or small tree to 25 feet tall with an airy canopy of gray green, pinnate leaves and numerous slightly sickle-shaped leaflets.

It is native to the West Indies. Leaf rib vein is slightly off center.
Lead Tree is a weedy, fast-growing tree that readily invades coastal strand, pine rockland, the margins and canopy gaps of hardwood forests and open disturbed sites.
Probably introduced in Florida for erosion control and cattle fodder. Lead tree is seldom purposely cultivated as a landscape plant but may persist as a weed in cultivated areas. It is a frequent sight along roadsides and hammock margins in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties.

I have to slap my little collector's hand more often than not...I am trying not to bring anything else into the house these days....except maybe books....
VooDoo Kings Car Show at Easy Street Speed and Kustoms in Milford. Ohio. In addition to many way cool cars and several attractive Pin-up girls, the VooDoo Kings brought us four bands to their car show. This was the lead singer in a wild rock and roll band called "The Loveless" that lead off the music. He has his Monster Energy drink and a cigarette to help get him all pumped up and in proper voice. I can't tell you what's up with the sideburns and the Batmobile shirt. .

I used to have to take one of these to swap for a fully charged one that powered our Wireless in the 1950s. They were quite heavy and the acid splashed and made small holes in my grey school socks. My wife thought I was making it up when I'd told her about them. Now she believes me after a staff member at Beamish Museum confirmed the process.
I also remember using these in experiments at school.

A shot taken while returning from dinner with our son. The reflections were just so cool. I just wished I had a filder with me to smooth the water and improve the reflections. Maybe another day.
