Thursday miscellanea #199

• We might have a high temperature sneaking into the 70s one day this weekend.  AZn8tive was just remarking that the sunlight pattern has shifted noticeably in her living room window.  Fall is coming.
• Lea and I had a date at The Melting Pot last night.  Review up tomorrow.
• I’m excited about Alabama nose guard Jesse Williams bench-pressing 600 lbs., aren’t you?  Can’t wait for your team to play the Tide, can you?
• Nathan and I went canoeing on the Elk River with his church youth group last weekend.  (Didn’t take my phone in the canoe, so didn’t have a camera. Duh.)  We had a great time.  He’s excited about going back for a longer trip.  May take both boys and seat Aaron in the middle!
• Country singer Randy Travis was arrested Tuesday night and charged with driving while intoxicated and probably eventually some other stuff, after he crashed his Trans Am into a few construction barriers and was found to be naked and reeking of alcohol when officers investigated.
• I won’t claim I never lost track of a few minutes here and there when drinking to excess as a much younger man, but I’m pretty sure I never drove naked.
• That’s awfully cool hardware that just landed on Mars.
• We’ve waited for this our whole lives, and it’s finally here:  mashed potatoes and gravy from Slurpee machines.
