Big doings in the neighborhood, where a guy lost the front right wheel off of his truck. Turns out he'd just had it serviced, his daughter was complaining of how it was handling and he decided to take it for a spin around the block. He made it about 100 yards before the tire fell off ... and rolled into my yard. AAA showed up and put the truck on his Jerr-Dan. Look at the gouge in the road.
This dog won't touch your shoes or chew on your things. Give it a stuffed animal, though, and it is gone in minutes.
Attending this game was a birthday gift from my lovely bride. And it was historical day. This was the first time the classic game had been played inside the Washington D.C. beltway. It was also only the second time that both the president and vice president attended. And, at the end of the evening, Navy extended their series-long win streak over Army to 10 games.

The men's 50 yard freestyle. Auburn would win the meet handily, and Karl Krug and TJ Leon, finishing first and second here, were a part of that. Andrew Sideras finished third for PSU. Krug swam the race in 20.15. The Auburn and NCAA record in this event is held by Caesar Cielo of Brazil. He swam it in 18.69 in 2007. The Auburn men improved to 2-0 on the young season with their 152-86 win. The women are now with their 138.5-99.5 victory.
A video in which not much happens. This is from the Caf, looking into the Samford quad on a rainy day. But the tree is nice!
The temperatures are starting to dip, but the honey bees are still out, hard at work through the windy autumn morning.
