Wildcats roared again: 7-2 victory in 100+ degree heat.
I think the team was equal parts happy about the win and equal parts happy about getting out of the heat. I must be omniscient: we bought a pop-up shade tent and a couple of those hand-held misting fans. Having to sit through a child's game (or coach one) in extreme heat is one of the dark sides of youth sports.

And no one came close to hitting a ref in any of the games today!

love that heat. and the shade. and the mist.

My most nostalgic memories of my youth involve sitting under an evaporative cooler on the hottest days, and the thunderstorms that sometimes did just as well.
 
Oh yeah, did I mention the soccer game was on top of my daughter's outdoor volleyball game in the morning, which included getting there an hour early for pictures (already hot at 9:00-10:00 am), then duty as a "field monitor" before our soccer game? I was so nice...I (last week) told the mom who was going to be the field monitor that I'd cover it since she helps out with the registration nights. What is that phrase..."no good deed goes unpunished?" I'm completely baked...so wish I had a pool.

my wife dredged up that phrase a month or so ago. . . . "No good deed goes unpunished". . . . in relation to my taking a day of my life to do a huge favor for a very rich lady, who in return tried to cheat us on the deal. . . .

yup, when the lady says she's concerned about her new pet being on an airplane, don't offer to drive it to her instead. Just say, they do fine on the airline.
 
Yo babe! Are you out standing in your field or something?

I just stopped by to say that HOPE is a wonderful thing, but it doesn't originate with Obama. His kind of hope is just delayed disappointment.

I did a mountain hike, and several days of work "in the field". When I left my heart stats were 125/85/85. When I came back, after driving for hours it was 105/75/75. I think I lost ten pounds, too. Work is good.

politicians routinely devalue the terms they use in political rhetoric. Particularly the breed of plantation managers we have today.

Susan Rice said what she was told, and in all fairness, Obama is gonna promote her to his National Security Advisor post on his Cabinet. Yep, the lady who lied about the known planned Sept. 11, 2012 Al Qaida attack on the Bengazi post, and which resulted in four American deaths. While Obama sat on his thumbs and did nothing, and hatched the lie about the YouTube video being the incitement for a demonstration, to which protesters showed up on the spur of the moment with RPGs and other military equipment.

Obama has fired two temporary officials at the IRS in the fallout of the outrage about the IRS targeting of conservative-sounding organizations for harassment, both of which were not in place when the deeds were done, and has promoted the one who actually guided the politically-motivated harassment over to the IRS dept which is gonna make sure Obamacare is guided in a non-partisan manner. . . . . .

But hey, the major media is tired and bored with Obama's critics, and like watchdogs chewing on thick steaks thrown their way by the robbers, have nothing to bark about while the American people are raped and pillaged by the barbarian fascist robber barons. Rockefeller got a good deal for all the family holdings in Big Pharma by making sure we'll print more money to paid the bills.
