South Austin, have your girl invest in a good rain jacket, with hood. Most of the rain up there is light enough, that you can just put on your jacket and go right out in it. If you go hiking or something like that, you might want rain pants, too. But for walking around campus, a good jacket is all you need. I moved there in August 1998. My 2nd cousin had a houseboat on Lake Union. He and I were drinking beer on his roof, watching the sail planes land on the lake, and he told me to remember days like that in winter, when I wouldn't know whether to get out of bed or kill myself. My first February up there it was partly sunny 1 day. Cloudy and rainy 27 days. That was a beating. But memories of last summer and anticipation of next summer kept me going. After a while, you just accept the rain. You realize, it's Seattle, it's supposed to rain. This is a popular poster available at Pike Place Market and those 'Made in Washington' stores:

Bruce Springsteen

This is my grief for you For only the loss of you The hurting of you My love My love My love There are rays on the weather Soon these tears will have cried All loneliness have died My love My love My love

4-2, building a picket fence, 1 run in first 4 innings.

i came here to post that, almost word for word.

POOP

Seriously, that was a baffling choice. "Wong, get in there and hit for ___" has probably never been said before. And then the pitcher blows the save. Hoping for extras now.

At least post the picture you got.

He was no Jebediah Springfield, though.

If you keep score on a scorecard or in a book, there's a big difference between 9 batters and 10 in an inning. "Batting around" fucks up your inning and the next one. You hope they go 1-2-3 in the next inning to get back on track.

They salvaged one today behind 7IP, 10K from Kirby.

Does that sign say "ON IT S WINDING WAY" like they weren't sure if there should be an apostrophe, so they just left a space instead? Or did they put the apostrophe, and someone painted it in to correct it? Nice dogs, BTW.

Yeah, if you're a celebrity they let you do it.

This one reminds me of every POS glider I had as a kid. Right into the fucking tree, every time. Or if it missed the tree, right over the fence into the neighbor's tree.

I bet she's a full inch taller now.

50% serious question: How will they decide what jail to put him in? Would it be a rotation between NY, FLA, DC, Gitmo?

I bet you could identify the baseball Annies at the games, and then during the 7th inning stretch:

Casa Rio is the original joint down there, with decent enough Tex-Mex for out of towners. Plus, they have the colorful umbrellas that make for good pictures. Careful that they don't seat you beneath the bridge, though. Boudro's has better food and good drinks, but not really Mexican. Avoid Lone Star or whatever it is across the river from Casa Rio.

Not shot, dog bite. Woof woof, not bang bang.

Check out some minor league baseball along the way.

Why did they have to do that at 10,000'? Couldn't they have come down a bit first? There sure were a lot of cameras ready to record that action. Is that a Tublin 601? Those planes can still fly at like 20 mph, it probably would have been fine landing with one wheel. That's like the rare Bigfoot video: a woman successfully changing a tire.

Good news, I'm finally getting gutters installed on the addition to my house today! So it's going to continue to never rain again. Hopefully the workers don't die.
