The weather did get a little cooler today. After yesterdays record-breaking 104 its dropped down to 92. Break out the jackets! Not much else happened today. It's Friday, and uneventful Fridays are not such a bad way to end the week.

Just watched a football game on TV tonight. I had no idea the Falcons changed their jerseys until last week. Ugly uniformns. Better than the Buffalo Bills but Atlanta has the 2nd ugliest.

Years ago I used to find the Little League World Series a minor annoyance. The championship game would be on TV and that was all. It was boring television but it was easy to ignore. Last year though ESPN starting covering many of the qualifying games. Its on the afternoon, its on at night. It seems like it is always on. And the championship game, at least last year, is on primetime network television. Why? It's a bunch of 13 or 14 yr olds playing mini baseball. What is the attraction? Superior play? No. I guess there is supposed to be some type of cuteness factor that just passes me by. Baseball itself is pretty boring. Why torture the American public with bad baseball played by pubescent boys. Sadly, there is always the chance that the public actually wants to watch this. After all the WNBA somehow finds it way on to TV.

The weather has been blazing hot here the last week. Mid 90's with high humidity. Yesterday was 97 with 70% humidity. This morning it was 83 when I left for work at 5:30 in the morning. The high humidity remains. The weather is supposed to break tonight and be a nice weekend, thank goodness. It will be some HOT training tonight. Seeing "C" is the main reason I am going otherwise I would likely wait until later in the evening when it might be slightly cooler.
