So I’ve plodded back into work after 12 days off which featured a drive down old I-95 to visit Wrightsville Beach, Raleigh, Chapel Hill and a night in Manhatten on the way back. The grand fuel total for this 2000 mile trek in a hulking V8 F150 was about $325, which doesnt include tolls, about another $40.
It was my first time in Raleigh and Chapel Hill; Raleigh seemed ok, but being from the Northeast I find mydelf usually not too enthralled with the sprawling cities all over the rest of the country. If I want to drive a half hour everywhere, wouldnt I just live in the suburbs? Chapel Hill is really nice, a bit quaint, but very nice.
Wrightsville Beach could easily give any town in the US a run for highest ratio of stunning women per capita. It is literally incredible. On a Friday evening at a bar named Dockside, I was on a patio with about 60 people on it. I counted 11 women aged probably between 21-33 whom if they walked in a bar in Boston they would have walked out with a Red Sox. The following day visiting a grocery store of all places, the three cashiers all looked like they should be auditioning as they blonde friend in the next teeny bopper California surfer movie. Really I dont understnd how anyone is able to hold a full time job in that town.
Anyhow the Yankees ran of a cute little winning streak that got everyone briefly excited but have reverted back to their losing ways of late and sit a full 11 games behind the Red Sox. They are also eight games back in the Wildcard bringing the
E DAY Countdown: 80
Race for last
NYY 36-38
BAL 33-43
Right at the point where he had to (right?) be close to losing playing time Coco Crisp all of a sudden turned into a monster power hitter in Atlanta. Looks like we will be stuck with Coco for the rest of the season.
Watched the first 12 picks or so of the NHL Draft. Its funny Versus wont even send their own crew and we have to watch the Canadian feed. I guess they blew their budget on Pro Bullriding.
The Bruins selected Zach Hamill 8th when he was generally ranked about 16th. I am not going to jump to any conclusions but thats not exactly what I call value. The big surprise of the draft was Angelo Esposito, whom a year ago was considered the best player in the draft falling to Pittsburgh at #20.
