This week we saw a lot of sports. The end of year prizes were given out for Cougar United Tuesday at a softball game doubleheader, so we went and picked up our stuff and watched a game and a half of softball. The next night, Wednesday, we watched a baseball game. It was delayed by rain, which we thought would suck, but, we learned that apparently baseball teams entertain the crowd during rain delays. The teams would go back and forth doing skits, possibly challenging each other communicating via writing on a baseball and throwing it between dugouts. We saw a good dozen or so hilarious skits during the hour and a half delay. They ranged from fishing to bowling to curling, which was great because our player slid down the sopping, freezing cold tarp for that one. It was entertaining, and then we went on to win the game pretty solidly. We took Friday off from sports because we had spent hours out in the cold through the week. Then, today was the football spring game. It's been on and off snow and rain for the past several days and last night, and last night we got a bit of snow on the ground. The snow continued to fall throughout the morning. So, we finally got a snow game...we just never expected it to be a spring game in April. The snow didn't stick to the field, but it fell for most of the hour and a half game. It was a good game and the underdog white team came back to win on a 2 point conversion in overtime.

The snow has continued on and off all day. We'll warm up a bit around Monday I think. I spent most of this week outdoors between work and games, so I'm ready for some warmth again.

Just wanted to put in my two cents about the government shutdown avoidance. Pray hard or we're all gonna die. And, I don't know how much you all know about Planned Parenthood, but my public speaking teacher knows tons about them and despite all the crap they say about women's health and such, their number one focus is abortions. They have somewhere around 800 abortion clinics across the nation and their business model is basically to promote teen pregnancy so they can make a profit off of it. They talk about women who haven't been to a doctor in years. Well, if they are healthy, there is little need for that anyway. My teacher had a friend who went to a Planned Parenthood because they are supposed to have all sorts of information for planning parenthood. They had NO information and had no advice to offer. So, as far as I know, don't fall for anything they say about women's health and actual planned parenthood. They are only concerned with abortions and their funding...a HUGE majority of which comes from the government.
