things as I think them

Still not on fire. Yay. Though, it's hot, and I'd like to open the windows, but I can't because of all the smoke. Wait, I have no right to complain, as I have not been evacuated like 1 million other people here in dry, smokey SoCal, nor am I in danger of being on fire at the present time. So, never mind

duuuuuuude, you're a bears fan? I had a 1969 baseball with the entire teams' names on it. It's pretty heady stuff for a 4 year old to walk around from player to player on a fan open house, and ask them for their autograph. Naturally, I can't remember much beyond the faces bending down, and how big the ball seemed, but I was in Bears' stadium. Since it was before my mom married when I was 4.5 [when we moved to the springs] I'm thinkin' that was the year... you want history? Check the wiki Denver Bears page.
"In the mid-1960s, the Bears included notables such as Cesar Tovar (who later had the distinction of playing all nine positions in one game for the Minnesota Twins) and Ted Uhlaender. The Denver Bears had some good teams from the 1970s to the mid-1980s, producing such players as Tim Wallach, Warren Cromartie, Tim Raines, Graig Nettles, Terry Francona, Pat Rooney, and Bill Gullickson. Billy Martin and Felipe Alou both began their managing careers with the Denver Bears. In 1980, the Bears finished with the 37th best record of all-time (92-44) and won the American Association pennant."

I mean c'mon, Denver was a small town then... heh.

What gets me is that after coming back from elimination in a single sudden death game, the rocks have swept not one but two playoff series...

and we ain't got a chance? WTFever...

elsewise? glad you kids have dodged the bullets so far... hope that continues... hopefully the sea breezes will kick in and the s'ana's will go away.

and? now I've got a little birdhouse in my soul, so just for that I'm gonna infect you with "Don't Worry... Be Happy... don't worry, be happy now, doooooo, dut, doo, doot, doot, doobedooo...

Going to Bears (later Zephyrs) games was the only time I really got to go to Mile High -- who could afford/get Broncos tickets?

For some reason, just because nobody outside Colorado was paying attention to them, everybody seems to think the Rockies fluked their way into the playoffs. For the love of mike, who goes 21-1? Nobody, that's who. Except these guys. It's just amazing to see.

hopefully the sea breezes will kick in and the s'ana's will go away.

I felt the weather change this morning at about 2:30 -- the winds died down, and then shifted from the west, feeling much cooler and with definite moisture. It's pretty warm here today, but the humidity is up. Good news for the fire guys.

Evil! That makes me counter with --
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Oh Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks

:P
