The rain started early Saturday afternoon -- just after I finished mowing our lawn and doing some work in our yard -- and literally did not stop until mid-day Sunday ... And we have several major downpours in the days that have followed ...
Last night, at about 3 a.m. actually, I was woken by another storm with lightning so bright and thunder so loud I swore it was topping the trees in our front yard. And man was the rain beating against the windows ...
So far, our house has been spared from any major water damage ... many in our area can't say that ...
And the ball field where I've played a lot of games this summer? There's about three feet of water standing on it ...

... So, in my continuing fascination with the Internet and my work responsibilities to be as knowledgeable about the culture and trends as I can be, I joined Facebook this week ...
It's something I've been meaning to do for months, ever since the powers-that-be opened up the site to more than just college students ...
Yeah. First impressions? I enjoy MySpace much more ... but I'll keep logging in ...

... How 'bout those Brewers!?! ... Monday night they roll into Arizona and jumped all over former Brewer Doug Davis for a 9-0 win. Prince Fielder absolutely pasted that ball he hit in the second inning. Yovani Gallardo hit a homerun. And it was so bad that Jeff Cirillo -- another former Brewer, but an infielder! -- even got some action on the mound ...
Last night's game wasn't as exciting -- well, Gabe Gross's grand slam was pretty exciting -- but it was a win, and we'll take it ...
Now tonight's game is a little closer ... But I'm tellin' ya -- they're gonna get hot ...
In the meantime, I'm keeping my watch on the Cubs this week too while they're in San Francisco. Wanna talk about exciting games? How 'bout Cliff Floyd and last night's Cubs finish in the ninth ...
Yep, it's exciting ... but the downside of it all, they're late, west coast games this week that I refuse to miss -- and they're kicking my butt when it comes to getting up the next mornings ...

This guy was on Monday night's Letterman show ...
This is awesome ...

... So I had a dream last night that I was reporting in the Giants lockerroom and I confronted Barry Bonds, looked him straight in the eyes and convinced him to give it up and admit his steroid use. My dream ended with a forlorn Bonds sitting front of a mic and beginning a press conference to admit his steroid use ...
Oh, if only the world were so perfect ...
There's some good Bonds cartoons on Cagle's ...
