Reshoot

Had some free time today to go out and shoot some follow-up pics of the TreeStorm damage.

Remember the weeping willow on Borden Rd.? I thought she was a goner. Arborists were saying any tree that lost 50% of its crown had to be destroyed. Well...she got all trimmed up and apparently was worth saving. We'll see what happens. The house in the backround didn't fare too well. Bigass fire pretty much destroyed it. Aside from the big burned out hole in the roof, this angle doesn't look too bad. The other side of the house is a different story.

I headed over to St. Matthew's Cemetery. They did a great job over there.

Then I was off to GardenVillagePlaza..the former staging ground for the debris. Now it's just a parking lot in a mostly vacant plaza. It looked better with all the sticks.

Why did I not have my camera at the ready????

I wish I had been paying more attention to my odometer...but nooooo.....so I missed this on 34567. Dang it!

I was mocked by The Spouse for posting the pic with all 3's. Apparently he thought it was stupid. I guess I'm even more stupider now!

It all comes down to your stuff.

In the end...its just your stuff...and where it goes. Temporary storage for the late Mom-In-Law's stuff that we inherited is now in the garage, waiting for its new place. The grill, lawnmower and garbage cans moved up front from their corner in the back for easy access.

Man..this is a rather macabre couple of posts, huh?

Who does this?

Is this bizarre or are we just quirky?

This looks like just another ordinary family picture, right?

Wrong.

This was taken after the funeral breakfast for the Spouse's Mom, who passed away last week. We've done it the last couple family funerals we've had. I dunno...weird or not?

All that glitters blue and gold...

After the phenomenal season the Buffalo Sabres had, I'm pretty bummed that the season ended the way it did. But, hey....there's always next year. Man..I'm sick of hearing that every year. I'm also a little tired of Big Shiney Trophys being handed out on our ice to visiting teams.

Series Three Game Four

This is for all the beans. Down 3-0. Now that we've lulled the Sens into thinking they're awesome, it's time to pounce. I know, I know...I'm grasping at straws whilst looking for shadows in the dark, but till it's over, I still have hope.

Do I?....or..Don't I?

I've heard the best way to make a decision is to make a list of pros and cons. I believe that's what I'll do. The question....

Do I fork over $135 for a ticket to Thursday nights game?

Pro---They've won both series where I've attended Game One
Con---Can't think of one for that.

Pro---I have the funds
Con---Again..I got nuthin'

Ok...Ok..this is foolish...I'm gonna have a big fat 'nuthin' for any Pro I come up with. I believe I just need to rationalize this to myself.

There's its all settle...I'm going.

This picture says it all

Unfriggin Believable!!!!!

Another Friday night, another close Sabres game, another time I jet outta work, another Sabres win. Watch this to get a feel of the atmosphere from Friday. You'll notice there's a couple darker shots of people with the gold pompoms. Thats shots from the plaza outside the arena. There were over 4000 fans out there watching the game on the big screen they have set up. Offspring #4 was out there totally into the craziness whilst The Spouse was inside in my seats that I couldn't use cuz of the whole work thing.

I'm thinking the boys with come out today firing on all cylinders to put the Rangers away for the summer.

Series Two, Game Five

Well....here we go. Hopefully the extra day off gave the Sabres time to pull their collective heads out of their collective asses. There'd better be some passion and desperation tonite.

Oh, brother!!!

So..I get up Sunday morning and I'm all set to cast my Blue and Gold Glitter spell and SHAZAM!! no internet! Time Warner has chosen this particular time to switch over some servers from the now defunct Adelphia servers and we're without cyberspace till midmorning Monday.

What happens??? Sabres lose Game Three. Not cool. It's the playoffs, man....we need all the mojo working!!!!!
