Hailstorm

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.

I would not have wanted to get stuck out in the middle of this one. Here's a video from someone who was out driving:

Switch hitter vs. switch pitcher?

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.

DUKW Photos From A New Arrival

Three shots I took from the "Duck Tour." I know, I know ... I'm a shameless tourist. But I figured it wasn't a bad way to learn the town on my first day here (Sunday).

Celtics/Lakers

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 Store-Boston

nobody@vox.com(Jeff D) — Sat, 17 May 2008 14:08:20 -0700

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.

Is it time for First World citizens to start stockpiling food as well?

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.

Some numbers from the article.

The latest data show cereal prices rising by more than 8% a year. Both flour and rice are up more than 13%. Milk, cheese, bananas and even peanut butter: They're all up by more than 10%. Eggs have rocketed up 30% in a year. Ground beef prices are up 4.8% and chicken by 5.4%.

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.
