This morning was grey and rainy. That, naturally, brought Rainy Days and Mondays to mind. In this case, however, I was glad to see the rain: It cleared out a lot of the dirt, grit and grime (and just general “uck”) that’s been in the air, thanks to the inversion.
Yesterday was a good day. SaraRules! and I started the day with breakfast with shockpuppet and
After breakfast, I headed over to West Valley Hobbies to see if there was anything that I couldn’t live without. There were a few things that I found tempting – including an N&W six-car hopper set from MTH, but nothing that couldn’t wait a while. SaraRules! and I also made a pilgrimage to The Garden of Sweden. *genuflect* Later in the evening, we headed up to the in-laws’ for dinner and football. After the game, we headed home and watched the season finale of The Walking Dead.
Instant Replay: Football
Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens | |
13 – 10 | |
The Ravens hosted the Steelers in what Sunday Night Football was calling “Grudge Match.”
It was a low-scoring game and it looked as though Baltimore might actually pull off a win over the Boys from Steeltown… but it wasn’t to be. I don’t know who blew the coverage, but S Troy Polamalu strip-sacked Ravens QB Joe Flacco and the fumble was recovered by a Steelers lineman (whose name eludes me) and run back to the 10-yard line. The Steelers took the lead on the ensuing drive. Flacco and company drove the ball down the field, but on the last 4-2 play (with 38 seconds on the clock), Flacco underthrew WR Anquan Boldin and turned the ball over on downs. |

Oakland Raiders at San Diego Chargers |

I don’t know what has gotten into the Raiders, but it looks like this is their rebuilding season… and they’ve been paving the way with some pretty notable wins.
Congrats, SaraRules! and 1silver_seraph. |
