The Ville

Saturday the brother and I went to watch Louisville play Syracuse. I think I mentioned this before but had the date wrong. Whatever. Anyway, I was expecting to see the Cardinals beat the snot out of Syracuse (I hate Syracuse) but uh, no. First play of the game for Syracuse after the kickoff? Yeah, a touchdown pass. I was like, "uh, what?" Fortunately we had already eaten our nachos by then, so things weren't too bad. But when they continued to pour it on and break away, the confusion only got worse. Add the blistering heat (to me, anyway) and a mid-fourth-quarter departure was in the cards. Somehow in the six minutes before the end of the game (the walk out to the parking lot) Louisville managed to score two more touchdowns. But the comeback was not to be and they lost by 3.

My brother got the tickets through work, so I was pretty happy that I didn't pay for them. They also came with a parking pass which was even nicer. And getting into and out of the lot took about 10 minutes which made me really happy. Not too many dumbasses trying to figure out where to go.

Even though Pitt also lost on Saturday, so did penn state and notre dame. The notre dame thing really makes me happy, though. And did you see that Navy won? Yeah, I think they might have a decent chance this year against notre dame. Now that would be special.

I posted more photos of the house on the ol' flickr account. There's also a good bit of notes and comments for the photos. Oddly enough, though, they haven't done anything on it for a week. Oh well. Guess that's how the schedule rolls. If there's nothing more done by the end of this week, though, I might have to make some calls.

Oh, random safety tip. Have you checked the air pressure in your tires lately? I did. The one tire in the back is supposed to be at 42 psi cold. It was at 15. No joke. The others were pretty low as well. I busted out the bike pump and got them leveled off. Yeah, that's right. You can fill a car tire with a bicycle pump. It's just a bit of work.

No bike ride into work today, but I'm hoping for tomorrow. Am fasting today, though.
