My brother's finding the kayak to be more of a challenge than he thought. The deck won't stick so now he fears that once it does it will look like crap as opposed to sleek and stylish. He is mulling a renaming for obvious reasons. "Sassy Lady" will not fly unless it's a Gayle. He thinks he might stencil in Post Nubila Phoenus. He tried showing me a ( Read more... )

There's a party tonight, you're in a red light zone
If you don't want a ticket you better move on
If you break the law you gotta pay your dues
Ain't much better if you play it by the rules
The day remained without any significant travel other than Cheney where the Rainiers and the Beavers deadlocked for seven before erupting for a combined ten runs ( Read more... )

I wasted an hour of my life, 5 pm to 6, at the Hood Canal Bridge a taxpayer black hole if there is ever is one. Why did they raise the center span? For no fucking reason at all.

Today I tried to walk the narrow line appeasing both parties and aggravating none. Teddy Roosevelt could do such a thing but William Taft could not.

So get with it
After dropping a bunch of games the Rainiers came back from the All-Star Break with a 4 to 3 victory over the Portland Beavers. Tacoma put up the first run in the first with a triple by Choo followed by a ( Read more... )

Things to expand upon later if I feel up to the task: Fourth of July - Jim knocks over the wine, my brother rants, Franks and I view Steilacoom's shoot off, the Rainiers' 3rd of July fireworks, Ironies of patriotic folks waving plastic and polyester flags of the Red, White, and Blue with block lettering in the corner that says "MADE IN CHINA," ( Read more... )

Ain't much better if you play it by the rulesI’ve been hanging out at the library lately reading various books, slowly becoming Mike Fink and John Pitts. Oh well. We can't all be reality Tee Vee show ( Read more... )

So get with itFrom this one can gage that the Rainiers won - they did 7 to 3 over Colorado Springs. Jeff Harris pitched six innings although as he went on he did not have his best stuff having numerous full counts. Two ( Read more... )
