Sunday Morning GRUMBLINGS

Here I am in the early AM, up before everyone else and tired as hell. This day will definitely nap to be complete.

First the good, went to the Springs Festival yesterday and had a great time. Got a nice bushel of peppers and the largest head of cabbage that I have ever seen. My kitchen scale goes to 12 pounds and that doesn't even start to touch it.

Last year we noted that they ran out of sauerkraut after selling 5,000 pounds worth. This year they were out by 10:30 and had sold 6,000 pound, that's three tons of Sauerkraut.


We also went to the Summit Market were we grabbed some of our favorite Walnut Creek deli items and then headed the the Casselman for lunch.  On our trip between these two places we once again passed the Springs festival. The line to get into it extended back into Pennsylvania and almost up to Route 40, I think we saw the line begin at about the BFS store in Meyersdale, PA. Note to self for future reference, go early, especially if it a nice day.

Then there was a football game last night. It was the second most amount of points a WVU had EVER given up, the first most was 109 years ago to Michigan and the total that was the second most was our first game ever in 1891.

West Virginia got pummeled last night 35-73 and the score was much closer than the game. To make things worse, Maryland who beat us 37-0 a few weeks ago lost to Florida State 63-0. 21 of our points was scored against the reserves and I think one touchdown came against Baylor's Cheerleaders as the football team had already completely demolished us and had changed clothes and left the stadium to celebrate.

Total embarrassment last night. Good thing the Steelers are off today. I'm not even going to talk about any other sports, I don't want to jinx them.

Have a great day.
