| Aaron on opening day |
| 399x640(22k) |
Here it is, two full weeks since opening day of the Saints season. And I finally got around to pulling in the pictures from that night. Since Aaron expressed interest in seeing his picture here, I guess I’d better post it. The other pictures from the evening? Meh. There’s some UPS trucks delivering the players, and an out-of-focus Seigo defending a hockey goal with boxing gloves. Out of focus because my camera decided that the net had to be in sharp focus, rather than what was behind it. I think I need to rethink photography at games, since even I’m bored with most of the pictures I take at the ballpark. Maybe I’ll have something figured out by the time the Saints get home next week.
Yesterday was warm. Warm enough that I was glad I started mowing the lawn before 10 am. Warm enough that I actually put the air conditioner in my bedroom window for the summer. I had three loads of laundry to fold, and the effort of folding T-shirts was causing me to break out in a sweat, so I figured it was time for some chilled air. I slept pretty well with it on last night, too. The power-saver mode is a bit annoying, since it either runs the A/C full on or not at all, and the cycling of the fan woke me up once or twice, but I slept better than if I’d been searching for a cool spot in the sheets all night. Of such excitement is my life made.
- The FBI says the mobile phone ban on planes protects us from terrorists, and even though airlines are wanting to find a solution, such as “pico-cells” on-board (for a small added fee, natch), the FBI doesn’t want that to happen until they can have their wiretaps in place. [fark!]
- Halley Suitt says women are Holding Men To A Higher Standard, much like men have done with women for years. I’m with Mr. Gutman in thinking that men aren’t actually all that fussy. Even though it may be tougher to catch our attention without some eye-candy, I don’t think most men are as demanding as Halley thinks. [scripting]
- Did you read about the folks who want to ban knives in the UK? Are you wondering if a knife you have is legal where you live? Bernard Levine’s Knife-Related Links can probably help you puzzle out the answer if you live in the US.
- The Fire Rebels have what sounds like a better way of putting out fires. The only catch? Most fire departments are so conservative they won’t try it. I dunno. Their explanation of the new technique sounds pretty good to me, and definitely sounds better than getting broiled by a backdraft or flashover.
