so a really bad tornado-esque storm raged through the city i live in last night... trees down everywhere, as well as power lines and poles, some roads blocked, obscured, or flooded and in 3 hours the whole city will be 24 hours without power, and nobody really knows when it's going to come back on, someone said it might even be another day or 2... couple that with the fact that it's nearly 100 degrees F outside and super humid, and not a lot of wind

thankfully my grandmother's house has power so that's where i'm at, even though earlier the power went out for an hour and a half

no fun

but hey there's a pool
 
I hate the Eskimos coach.

8 seconds left in the first half. Esks down by 3 points. Esks have the ball on the 12 yard line. Long drawn out play that ends in the Esks running out the clock while missing a pass to the end zone. 0 points to show for it, when they had a field goal guaranteed at minimum. Go in to the dressing room down 3 points, when we could have been tied.

2 minutes left in the second half. Esks down by 5 points. 3rd and goal on the one yard line. A touchdown would put us in the lead. Brilliant coaching decides to kick a field goal instead.

The Bombers kick a field goal to go back up by 5 points, but miraculously hand the game to the Esks by fumbling the football on their 15 yard line, allowing the Esks to score a touchdown with 15 seconds left. A 2 point conversion, and the Esks are up by a full field goal with only 15 seconds left, then pin the Bombers on their 10 yard line with the ensuing kickoff. One blocked pass, now there are 4 seconds left in the game, Esks up by 3 points (could of been up by 7 if we'd gone for it on 3rd and 1 from the 1 2 minutes earlier, or been up by 6if we'd taken the guaranteed field goal at the end of the first half,or been up by 10 if we'd done both of the smart plays).

So what does the coach decide to do with the Bombers 2nd and 10 on their own 10 yard line, down 3 points with 4 seconds left in the game? Any smart coach would have done anything to prevent the long ball. Maciocia, however, quite possibly the dumbest football coach ever, decides to blitz and cover the short pass, leaving the Bomber wide receiver open for a 100-yard touchdown on the last play of the game.

The Bombers, by the way, should be the worst team in the league. However, despite the Esks having the highest payroll in the league, and the highest passer in the league, have scored the fewest points in the league, have now lost twice to the Bombers by a total of 40 points, and have the second worst record in the league.

My hats off to our wonderful coaching staff. I am so impressed.

We had some really nasty storms roll by yesterday morning. Thankfully, the power didn't go out. My aunt, on the other hand, still doesn't have power. It's a good thing it got cooler here.
 
I do know that I have to finish mowing my backyard. It was still to wet to get it all done last night. I also have to refinish my oak dining table and get fitted for my tux tonight. So I have a few not so "metal" things to do. Oh yeah, I decided that I am not going to the Peeping Tom show. I just don't have the money to do it. Sucky.
 
sigh :( here comes another storm... the power at my house hasn't even come back on since the last really bad one 2 days ago

edit: black sky and the middle of the system is coming right over us
 
That sucks.

The weather is perfect here right now. Not too hot with a good breeze and a clear blue sky. I wish I didn't have stuff to do because this is perfect fishing weather.
 
My weekend:

Working 1/2 day today, taking new (used car in for some work).Golf tomorrow, recylcing empties and taking the lawn mower in to get worked on.
Watching some of the British open.


House - stay safe.

Rem's got the Chisox, my son has Anaheim and my Dodgers are taking a dump.
