and out from the storm comes a damn skunk...

we had some pretty good storms roll through here last night. strong enough that most high school football games got postponed until this afternoon. the rain certainly got my arthritis flaring last night, as i spent most of the night in bed, in pain. while coming out of the kitchen last night to take the trash out to the garage, i noticed something under the main bird feeder in the front yard. as i got closer to the window, it was certainly too big for a squirrel. and then i noticed the white streak. the only thing i could think was fuck me. where there is one skunk, there are usually more. it was eating the seeds that the storm had knocked out of the bird feeder. i didn't want to startle it in case it would spray, but when i opened the door it did nothing. that makes me think it's used to people and this area. just fucking great. here i left the farm thinking this shit was a thing of the past. oh well.

NJPW was excellent last night. i am more and more tempted to get the streaming service that NJPW offers. of course, if i had a paying job, i'd probably already have it.

team USA started off strong but then decided to take the next 30 minutes off against Peru in their friendly last night. so, i wasn't surprised when Peru was winning at half 1-0. thankfully, the boys showed some fucking urgency and actually played the best i've seen them play in months in the second half. Jozy scored 2 goals to give the USA the win, 2-1. here are some highlights:

the New York Yankees had 4 hits last night. 3 of them left the yard. Severino once again pitched like a budding superstar and the Yankees won 5-2. luckily, they won on a night Toronto finally lost, so now they are only a 1/2 game out of first place. they are tied in the loss column. the Yankees go for the series win this afternoon.

those two victory beers helped ease the pain of the rain last night for sure. plus, once i actually got to sleep, i stayed asleep for a change.

now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH. i will spend most of today watching college football and baseball. i may sprinkle in some European soccer if i remember to look for it. other than that, if the weather isn't too damn hot or stormy, i may end up helping mom do some stuff around the house.

i guess we are doing my sister's birthday on Monday morning. i imagine that means breakfast at Waffle House.

my mother and sister are next door having breakfast with my aunt and uncle. the joy of not being big on family is i never feel like i am missing something by not going.

that's all for me today. i want to get a good long shower in before the games come on.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. hopefully the weather in your neck of the woods is great. enjoy some drinks, some good food, a cheap date and enough sex that you have something to write or remember in the future.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...
