I wasn't ready for this!

OK, so the last post was about the Fall/Autumn. This one is about Winter. And boy did it come on with gusto today. So far we have 6+ inches, and it is supposed to turn into sleet and rain later. So if the temps go down, look out world we're going to have lots of people learning how to skate with their vehicles. I called into work today, and the plow guy just got here a few minutes ago; so I guess I couldn't have made it anyway. Is this going to be how the Capital Region is all Winter, if so I may just have to schedule a trip to the Bahamas!

Autumn is Here

So it seems that Fall is here; while it may be my favorite season, did we even have any summer. Most of the time it was raining; so technically one week was warm, way too warm and now it's the Fall. Well enjoy the Fall everyone in the Northeast; 'cause Winter can't be that far away.

Minor League Baseball

So mom and me went to a Minor League Baseball game, and while they played baseball, they didn't really play baseball. They had all the same rules, I guess, and they all went up to bat, but they just didn't seem to try too hard. They jogged to the bases, sashayed over to a fly ball, and meandered back to their respective dugouts when the inning was over. The best part was the non-baseball activities. The giveaways, the flying t-shirts and frisbees, the companies that came to give away water bottles and bags and the mediocre food. Last night was a special pet-connection event, so we got a bobblehead of a local weatherman who does lots of things with pets. So they gave away cat food and recycled bags, spray suntan lotion and so much more that I can't remember. So all in all, I think Minor League Baseball is less about the stats and more about the fans. And really can that be all bad??

British government spells end of 'i before e' rule

According to Associated Press:

"LONDON (AP) -- It's a spelling mantra that generations of schoolchildren have learned - "i before e, except after c."
But new British government guidance tells teachers not to pass on the rule to students, because there are too many exceptions..."

Can you believe, or is it beleive, this stuff? Next thing you know they'll want to used the letter "u" in all thier words, colour, favour, etc.

We must have rules; that's what keeps people from running into each other at intersections.
