The Cubs are going to the PLAYOFFS! Go over to my sister blog, www.cubsmagicnumber.com to see my photos and videos from the game! Here's the direct link to the post http://www.cubsmagicnumber.com/2008/09/0_20.html.
And here's the clinch:
Go Cubs!
What do you get when you put a cat in a box and then dangle a camera wrist strap at one end of the box? CAT ATTACK. Stormy cat startled the camera woman on this one.
I took a week off from snow shoveling and went shelling instead. It's easier on the back, however it's very similar to shoveling the way we've been doing it (using a net to shovel the shells from the sea). Pictured are some of my finds. From left to right: Pear Whelk, SanDisk Cruzer Micro 8GB Black, Cerith and Lettered Olive. Guess which one is backwards compatible to USB 1.1?
It's getting close for the 2007 Chicago Cubs making the playoffs. I hate to get too excited but it's hard to hold back the excitement.
As I wrote earlier, http://www.cubsmagicnumber.com/ is up and counting, courtesy of Mister Pickles Worldwide Entertainment. To add to the fun of the race, Mister Pickles is accepting photos to post along with the numbers! Send an email to 2007@cubsmagicnumber.com with your Cubs photos today with a small caption and you may be representing the next number!
To get you in the mood, here's mine:
Is 11. Doesn't it really suck to lose 7 in a row down the stretch.
There are over two full weeks of baseball yet to be played this 2007 season and the defending World Series Champs, the St Louis Cardinals are slipping fast. They're third place in the race for the National League Central Pennant. What's worse, they're trailing last years 4th and 5th place finishers.
I guess Cardinal Nation is still hopeful they will win the pennant. Even though they haven't won a game in over a week and only have a slight mathematical change to clinch, you can register for playoff tickets on their website. I'll be sure to register! Mister Pickles would like 4 seats please.
Anyways, it's going to be a great close for the NL Central this year. I'm in the Cubbies Camp and they're looking pretty (at the moment). Because I'm such a nice guy, I'm helping you keep track of the Cardinals woes at http://eliminatecardinals.blogspot.com/, an up to the minute elimination number tracker. Subscribe to the RSS feed so that you always know how inevitable their elimination is.

I accept full responsibility for this change and I appreciate your cooperation in the matter. We will get through this change with reckless abandonment. We will make it down the stretch.
Is 24 and is a bit higher than I would like. I've re-launched http://www.cubsmagicnumber.com/ and will be updating it during this final month of baseball. The Cubs have a chance and could make the playoffs, but let's not get too far along.
Enjoy the number and I hope it will be updated very often! Go Cubs!
Well, almost, as they’re here for a few more days. Where I live, there have only been a few. I've really only seen 3 in my neighborhood and heard a handful of others. Last week, there were some wind blown and awfully lost cicadas in the Loop.
My sister's place was crawling with them. One of her trees I refereed to as the "living tree". We were there in late may when the brood was emerging. There were literally hundreds coming from the grass while we were there. Thousands were already in the trees. It was a sight.
We were there again on Father's Day and snapped this short video. Notice how we have to talk loud because the noise of the bugs is overpowering.
