Nothing to Report Here

Black billowing smoke did not invade the northeastern Germantown sky early this morning. The Rockville fire department was not called to the scene to put out a raging dark fire on the roof at the Milestone Center school construction site. Hess construction crew workers were not spotted working on the roof later in the day.

Snow flurries were a mere figment of everyone's imagination this afternoon. It was a cosmic hologram similar to CNN's ridiculous Star Wars stunt on election night.

In other news, there was not a lengthy backup on I-270 northbound, just north of the scenic overlook, between 5:15 and 6:00 p.m. this evening.

Watch Teddy Lose!

Here are two movies of the Presidents' Race I shot with my digital camera last year. I got a better angle on the second one. Enjoy!

This one was shot on Teddy Roosevelt Bobblehead Night. The other presidents won on their bobblehead night, but not Teddy.


The second one was shot towards the end of the season.

Will Teddy win?

Tomorrow evening, the Washington Nationals celebrate opening night at the brand new Nationals Park. Learn more about the park HERE.

The visiting team will be the Atlanta Braves, but many fans will be focused on who wins the promotional Presidents' Race in the middle of the 4th inning. Read about the history of this fun race HERE and HERE.

Given that it is opening night, and George Washington was the nation's first president, I predict that George will win tomorrow night. Who do you think will win? Who do you WANT to win? Post a comment to this thread!

Will Teddy ever win? My guess is, yes, Teddy will win a race this year. We'll see if I'm right.

Lazy Blogger

It's pathetic that I haven't posted anything since the new year. So, I'll try to make my first post of 2008 a fun one. The commute to work has been rather uneventful with only one exception... deer. Deer are pretty common at 3:30 in the morning, so watch out if you drive curvy, hilly streets. One morning, I saw about 10 deer grazing within a half mile of the house, in between two houses on a grassy knoll.

Another interesting tidbit, is the traffic at 3:30 in the morning is practically non-existent. Don't get caught off guard by the Saturday morning folks returning from their Friday nights out.

If we ever get snow or wind damage again, I'll post that.

Muddy

After the recent rain, the mud is sticking to the tiller when I run it.

What's a Blog?

What exactly is a blog again? It's supposed to be a web log, a diary if you will. I can pretty much say whatever the heck I want here... or can I? Does anybody read this crap? I mean really, it's not like I advertise it or anything. You'd have to stumble over yourselves to find it, unless you came here to read from the Sunflake page, which is linked from a couple other spots from my GFK days. But seriously, folks, if you're reading this then you probably need a life. The fact that I'm TYPING this obviously shows I have no life. So let's get real and go do something, already!
