05 Jul 06 Thar She Blows

Greg receives 10 points for correctly identifying the movie and the name of the character.  He would have received an additional 5 points for giving the name Enrique Polazo.

I’m typing today from the comfort of my new imac and thus my mac journey begins. 

Another storm blew through last night knocking down trees, powerlines, and batting cages (more on this in a moment).  We are enjoying our time at the house of some friends watching the match between Germany and Italy when the power went out.  The match was in the 17th minute of overtime and darkness came over the land.  With a peach cobbler and a berry cobbler still to be cooked we made the group decision to cook these baked delicacies on the grill.  Nothing shall stand in the way of cobbler on 4th of July! 

The fireworks were fun.  The show itself lasted 20 minutes.  From our view on the river you could see fireworks up and down the Potomac.  Of course the people on the parkway with their handfull of explosives trying to compete with the big show is always amusing.

The windstorm knocked down and destroyed the frame of the batting cage.  I think I can fix it.  I’ve always wanted a reason to buy a welding machine.
