We've been getting the kinds of super-intense thunderstorms lately that remind me of my time in North Carolina. This did as well.
I didn't realize it was hailing until the wind started blowing the hail into our window.
What happens when a switch hitter faces a switch pitcher? This is what happens.
If I have a son I'm making him a switch pitcher.
You gotta love it. I'm having a flashback to the old Boston Garden and my teenage years spent there.
If you count soccer, four of Boston's five major sports teams have made the final series or game this year.
Apple's latest retail store opened this week in Boston. It's the biggest one yet and one of my friends wanted to make the Windows/Apple move so we went down and had lunch then got her a new MacBook.
The outside of the store is pretty similar to the others, but I brought the Nikon and took some photos of the cool spiral staircase they have in the center of the store.
This is pretty damned cool
I think so and I view it solely as an investment opportunity.
The huge run-ups in the prices of wheat, corn and rice abroad have to be felt in the developed world at some point. Why put money into a money market account or CD at 3% when you can buy a twenty pound bag of rice whose price will probably go up 10% in the same timeframe?
And interesting idea for sure.

Not too shabby.
I, for one, welcome the rule of our new robot overlords....
Have a nice winter.
I hope LT and Philip Rivers are healthy for next week. I don't want any excuses when the Patriots take them on.
