Cat On a Hot Tin Ceiling

CAT ESCAPES INTO THE CEILING!  



Poor thing.  I had to stay late after work to help set a trap to catch her.  



Certainly not afraid of heights



Tailgating at Conklin's Bar and Grill/Illegal Motion before the Buffalo Bill's game.  



Panorama of Ralph Wilson Stadium 



THAT'S A LOT OF WHITE PEOPLE!  It was a "whiteout" for the Jets game.  The only white shirts I have are a dress shirt and a tshirt with a cartoon Bavarian pickle yodeling.  It seems that was the case with many people.  Probably would have been more successful if they would have gone with red or blue...



We've been looking for houses with a nice porch.  I never thought to look for a car with one...



How depressing is it that it is this dark when I leave work now?  How about this for a hot button election day issue: Daylight Savings Time 365 days a year? 


That's it.  

Upstate Living

TAILGATING AT RALPH WILSON!  Your choice of ribs, Philly Cheesesteak, pork tenderloin, a variety of brats and hot dogs, chicken, hamburgers, Buffalo Wings, and so much more.



Illegal Motion



When we made this walk last year for the Bills vs. Lions (a.k.a. Loser Bowl 2010 where they both tried to lose) we made this walk alone.  Amazing what a few wins can do!



I am now aware of breast cancer because I have seen so much pink.



Skydivers!  I think they jumped about 5 minutes early because he had the flag and all, but there was no national anthem.  They were talking about fan conduct or something on the PA and then he came onto the field.






The skydiver with the Bills flag missed the mark and crash landed.  Still, no national anthem...



Michael Vick about to have a really bad game.  Or as one sign read, "Awaiting a con-Vick-tion."



I'm not only a member of the Rochester Chapter of the Ruvell Martin Fan Club, but I'm also the president.  If you don't know who he is, he's the 5th wide receiver for the Bills and we went to the same high school in Muskegon, MI.  The last player I championed was Kyle Orton who later went on to QB both the Bears and Broncos until last weekend.  



It's not the first soldout Bills game I've been to, but it is the first one where people were actually in their seats watching the game and cheering.  Also, the first one I've attended that wasn't during a snow/rain mixture.



I hope it wasn't a long drive



Apple picking in Victor at The Apple Farm on 444



Where's the camera stick!



Fall in Upstate New York.  



Macoun or Cortland?  What am I, the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz?



Eve in Paradise picking apples.  Luckily for me, this Eve is really afraid of snakes.  We saw two this weekend and she almost had a heart attack.  



Apples by the bunches!



It's like living in a painting sometimes



Some kind of amazing tree.



So many apple trees.






This tree is struggling to hold all of them apples!



Bernardo's Pizza and Subs for lunch in Victor.  The pizza was really good and I'll have to get a sub the next time we're there because they looked awesome.  A great deal with huge portions.  The retro decor is amazing and I could look at all the old radios for hours.  



Still no salmon in the Irondequoit Creek.  None in Corbett's Glen either.  Last year, I missed seeing all the salmon coming up to spawn.  Now, it appears I'm too early.  If you see them jumping, let me know ASAP.  I can be at the creek in a matter of minutes!

My B-day is Going To Cause My Broken Back

Thanks to everyone for your b-day wishes. I think I have received more b-day congrats this year than any other year. Probably because MySpace has that b-day feature. Whatever the reason, thanks!

This is one of Noah & Frances' new cats. I believe this is Cinnamon Pop Tart.


And, I think this one is Turnip Bicycle?


Here's Frances in her new apartment with my old painting (Ben Johnson has made a claim)


USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!


Megan and SME at the California Clipper for a kinda b-day, Dustin visiting, need something to do night. We just about took the bar over with all the Muskegon Exiles there.


Noah, Frances, and I at the Clipper.


Frances getting ready for dispute resolution Humboldt Park style. Just like old times in Michigan.


Noah has never looked at Frances so lovingly...


Me and Noah in the pointing game.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIKE! LET'S GO TO A POLICE AUCTION. It was pretty fun, but I thought it would have cooler things like cars, drug dealer homes, couches, and all. They had tons of bikes!


Here are the two bikes we won! Megan's was $30 and mine was $25.


And here's Megan's new bike helmet.

Thanks again to everyone for making a great b-day for me. I hope to see you all soon if I don't see you a lot already at the weekly BBQs. If you do go to the weekly BBQs, I hope to see you tonight! xoxo, Mike
