Well the Ducks played probably their worst football game in school history and had their lunch handed to them. Then after the game an ugly scene was caused by an out of control Duck player and it is my guess he will be suspended for several games.
Please send some good thoughts, good vibes, and prayers Mary Z’s direction that her vacation won’t be to interrupted by her husband falling in the shower and breaking his hand. Check out Mary Z’s blog for a full report on what happened. Here is the link to her blog:

The latest on the LA Fires is that the investigation has turned into a homicide investigation as they now think the fires were intentionally set by an arsonist. According to an article in Today’s Oregonian The Station Fire in the Angeles National Forrest has been classified as arson. The article states that the focus of the investigation has been Mile Marker 29 along the Angeles Crest Highway north of the the city of La Canada Flintridge. The fire has killed two firefighters and burned over 144 qcres. I hope they catch him or her. I am guessing him because most arsonist are men. I hope they put him in jail for a very long time.
In a case of we will have Nun of that a Long Island nun, Sister Lauren Hanley, was arrested for drunk driving after consuming a half of a fifth of gin and going on a joyride. She had a blood alcohol level of 1.8 over twice the legal limit of .08. Witnesses said they saw Hanley gliding around on two residential lawns before hitting a number of parked cars and crashing into a tree. Two children who were playing outside of their home were nearly mowed down by the 68 year-old nun. The Sisters of St. Joesph's - the order that Hanley has been a part of for 47 years - said they're thankful no one was hurt. The nun faces a one year jail sentence if she is convicted of misdemeanor drunk driving.
Since this is Friday and for some it is the end of the first week of school and for others it is the last weekend of summer I’d like to end today’s entry with a little humor. Today The Edge Column In The Oregonian gave actual excerpts from term papers and blue-book exams as collected in the book “Ignorance Is Blitz, Mangled Moments Of History From Actual College Students.” Here are some of my favorites:
“The Mother of Jesus was Mary, who was different from other women because of her immaculate contraption.”
“Rulers were entitled to Faroes, A famed one was King Toot.”
“Alexander The Great conquered Persia, Egypt, and Japan. Sadly he died with no hairs.”
“Without the flying buttock it would have been an impossible job to built the Gothic cathedral.”
“Ivan The Terrible started life as a child, a fact that troubled his later personality.”
“The major cause of the Civil War was when slavery spread its ugly testicles across the West.”
If you would like to read the entire column go to http://www.oregonlive.com/ and use the search words "the edge column."
No questions today. Just sit back and relax. Make any comments you want to about anything I wrote today and then have a great Labor Day weekend!

Many good vibes coming for Mary Z and her husband. I hope his foot heals quickly and that he can hobble around some as it does.
Yes, they seem pretty sure now that the fire was arson. I just saw on the news that the guy who set a big fire a few years back that killed 4 firefighters has been sentenced to death.
That nun drunk driving story is a hoot! I heard it on the radio and was amazed. And I love the term paper excerpts. They are always funny.
Oops, wasn't reading carefully there. I hope his HAND heals quickly. {g}
Hi Pat
If I believed in the death penalty, which I don't most of the time, I'd be glad that doofus that set a fire that killed four firemen got the death penaly and would hope the one that set the LA get the same.
Buring at the stake would be suitable punishment.
I laughed at the nun story too. That is the kind of nun I would want if I was Catholic.

Thanks for the kind thoughts, folks. He kept up with us today, but pretty well crashed after dinner - taking his first pain pill. He'll do fine - and we start our boat trip tomorrow, so he'll have plenty of time to rest.
(whispering) Go Dawgs!
Hello Mary Z
John sounds like a real trooper. I worry about you driving to much too but if you are on a boat then that is a moot point.
Bill
Hello Mary
You don't have to whisper. You can yell go Dawgs as I do hope the University of Connecticut does well.
Bill
Bah. Heh.
LOL Mary, I just couldn't resist. I am actually rooting for the U of W this year because the Pac 10 doesn't get a long of respect on the east coast and I wall all Pac 10 teams to kick their non-confernce foes butts.
