Today Alison was published for the first time in the LA Times. Go here to check out the article. It's about the drastically decreased native bird populations in California. Isn't she dreamy? Also, she got internet last night, so a capa blog should be forthcoming (no guarantees).
The electrician is theoretically coming over this afternoon to stick another riser on our house to appease the mighty Qwest gods, after which time maybe we can get ourselves into the Qwest hookup waiting line. We might have internet before our landlady gets back from her 6-week vacation, by which time we will unfortunately no longer be angry about the situation. Today I am trying out the internet at the library, and it is very very slow. I may have to switch back to the Flying Star until I can stay at home and surf.
Last night I and our service project friends attended the Isotopes doubleheader against the Redhawks. The 'Topes got shelled in the first game, losing 11-3 behind an 8-run second inning. In the second game we were losing 2-0 in the bottom of the seventh when we scored 3 runs to win the game. For some reason the other team left in their starter, even though he loaded the bases on no outs. Usually, this happening in the seventh would not be a huge deal. However, this doubleheader was making up the game that was rained out on Monday (and left me with nothing to listen to Monday night on the radio, BTW), and in their wacky setup they played two seven-inning games starting at 5p.m. So that third run scored on a walk-off sacrifice fly. Very exciting. However, it did make for a late night, with the last game finishing nearing 10 p.m.
