soapbox

God, trying to bathe Mira inside sucks ass. I took her out to play this afternoon with Siggy, but Sig was tired. Mira decided, to hell with Sig, and ran off. A family on Parkway (just off N. Park) managed to corral her and called me about a half an hour later. Somewhere between Shattuck and Parkway, she found some water to get nice and filthy in. So hopefully next time she tries to run, she’ll remember the bath afterwards. Though I did go to see Rent in between picking her up from her wranglers and bringing her home for a bath. The bright side, now she’s nice and clean for the night, and smells like vanilla. She’s got daycare tomorrow, though, so no one else will probably get to enjoy the nice vanilla scent.

Check out this video of a Hyabusa doing a wheelie from 50 to about 140 and all the way up to 230 mph. There are lots of other crazy videos on the same site too. Supposedly one of a guy losing his hand after his bike throws a rod through the top end of the motor and through his forearm, but havn’t found it yet…

For those of you in blogland who don’t follow Scottish Cup footie (soccer), a second-division club (Gretna) has made it to the finals. As a comparison, this is like a double-A minor league baseball team making it to the World Series, or George Mason making it to the Final Four (oh, wait…)

anyway, it’s a pretty cool story.
