Zombie Romney
Last I heard, Joshua Romney (Mitt Romney’s son) was still alive and well, campaigning for his father. However, this photo evidence indicates otherwise.

Wild Hunt @ Johnny B’s
I have been really enjoying Wild Hunt’s “Before The Plane of Angles” for the past few weeks, and last night I had the chance to see them live in Medford. They are even better live than their outstanding CD. Check them out if you are near Eugene tonight. If you like Enslaved, pre-Heritage Opeth, or Mastodon you are sure to appreciate Wild Hunt as well.
Will you still be able to text during the Zombie Apocalypse?
Today’s photo is from the Zombie Walk that took place in Ashland yesterday. I’m not sure how many of these have taken place in the past but at least two or three.
Oakland A’s meet Detroit Tigers in first round of MLB playoffs
Don Kelly of the Detroit Tigers strikes out against Brandon McCarthy of the Oakland A's
The Oakland A’s were alone in first place for a grand total of one day this season–the only day that counts, the final day. 162 games this season and where you sit in the standings means absolutely nothing for those first 161 days.
Hopefully, A’s pitching will mow down Tiger hitting beginning this weekend just as they did when I saw them play back in May.
Yesterday’s game was very exciting. I watched the first 6 innings from RedZone Sports Bar N’ Grill in Ashland between classes.
Oakland A’s are in the playoffs
Has a more unlikely team than the 2012 Oakland Athletics ever made it to the postseason before?
Consider this…
They have the lowest payroll in the American League.
Their starting rotation consists entirely of rookies.
The rest of the team is made up of rookies and castoffs (players not wanted by other teams).
There really isn’t a single player who could be considered a “star”–let alone superstar.
They have the lowest team batting average in all of Major League Baseball.
The Anaheim Angels spent three times as much as the A’s, and it bought them third place in a four team division.
The Boston Red Sox spent even more than the Angels, and it bought them fourth place in a five team division.
Yet, despite all of this, the Oakland A’s have the best record in baseball since July and are heading to the postseason.
Today’s photo is of the Oakland Coliseum (now called the O.Co)–considered the worst stadium in MLB, it’s my favorite place to be. 😉
I took this panorama back in May (when no one believed the A’s would be in their current position). Brandon McCarthy was pitching and Prince Fielder was at bat for the Detroit Tigers.
Let’s Go A’s!
Grant Balfour picks up the win in the Oakland Athletics thrilling victory today. I think if my last name was Balfour I would have chosen a position other than pitcher.
Yellow jacket gets a date
While at the Trium Winery this past weekend we were offered dates to eat. A bit of the date fell onto our table, and this yellow jacket immediately zeroed in on a snack. The yellow jacket carved out a little piece of the date and then flew off with the lighter sample.
Ashland High School Volleyball
The high school sports continue today. I’m heading over to AHS in a bit for my daughter’s JV volleyball game. Today’s photo is from a tournament at Phoenix High School a few weeks ago.
