Friday, August 24th, 2012Ups and Downs of the Week.
Red Sox – Or rather, the apparent looming trade with the Dodgers. Gone will be Adrian Gonzales, Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett, and Nick Punto. That’s a lot of salary gone. And a couple of misfits and malcontents to boot.
New Floor –The bookshelves are all back in place. Oh my aching back.

Weather – Glorious late summer weather. Cool nights, warm days, blue skies. It’s about time. Aside from the nasty thunderstorms and tornado sightings yesterday, it’s all been good. And the rain yesterday was a good thing (could have done without the 63 MPH wind, though).
New Floor – The new floor downstairs went in yesterday. Now we need to move all the bookshelves back into place.

Weather – We finally got some rain and now the temps are back to what would be considered normal. Hope it stays this way.

Red Sox – They still stink and are still 2 games under .500, but Buchholz pitched a complete game gem tonight and got the win despite some defensive blunders by the Keystone Kops playing behind him.

Red Sox – They keep finding ways to lose. They’ve dropped two in a row to the lowly Twins. Just bad.
Gas Prices – I can’t see any reason other than greed for a 70 cent per gallon spike in a week.
Drought – It’s already too late for the corn, but the soybeans are reaching the point of no return now. If we don’t get rain soon, they’ll be lost as well. The ditch in the second picture should be half full of water.
