Well, as I was told earlier this week, "the ex always does it", and that's why I'm not on a cop show.

I had a great time at The Harp last night. Beautiful night and it got kinda chilly after dark. But that wasn't the real story. As I was coming home past Bridge on West 65th, this tree split and fell across the road! I could not have missed this by more than a minute, because there were people still running out to see what happened. It looked like it split maybe 8 feet from the ground and it looked like a good 30% of the tree fell across 65th and the adjoining sidewalk. Didn't appear to have hit a house or any cars passing by, but it was most definitely a major cleanup.

Other than that, it's a slow day except for the news that Thierry Henry left Arsenal for Barcelona. The Gunners have some young talent, so we'll see how well they compete in the EPL next year.

"Ice Road Truckers" is looking like one of the History Channel's more interesting offerings. Driving 18-wheelers over frozen lakes with the danger of plunging in, sounds good to me.

Has anyone noticed the chart-topping success of...The Traveling Wilburys? Huh?

The World's Ugliest Dog. His name is Elwood, and he looks not like a canine at all. A deserved victor.

Exercise Yard

Behind the numbers of Travis Hafner's mediocre season, thus far. It looks like the most glaring sign is the amount of ground balls he hits. Just not driving the ball.
