Just got back from the Beavers game and fireworks, and what a show all round! Nutling #1 and I were there all night, and Cablenut and Nutling #2 joined us right after the 7th inning for the rest of the game and the fireworks. As it happened, that was the time to come: The Beavers batted a home run with bases loaded--first time I've ever been privileged to see such a thing at a live game. Pretty exciting.
The cordite smoke in our neighborhood is so thick it's obscuring the streetlights. hack, wheeze.
ETA: The kid who hit the "grand slam" was Peter Ciofrone. Seven runs in the eighth inning, including those four. Wotta game.
Did anyone notice how UNimpressive fireworks looked in HD?
Yes, I watched on an HD set.
Damn KGW promoted the hell out of it all week. And for that?
I don't need 1080 lines to see black night skies. Dark is dark no matter the resolution.
