Hi, friends!
We’ve been getting the remnants of Hurricane Beryl here today, which means it’s been raining for like 12 hours. Mostly a light rain, at points heavier. Enough to make things soggy puddly messes, but not likely to cause any flash flooding or worse problems.
However, I have a leaky basement even with my sump pump. My solution to dealing with this is to just not go downstairs today. No good will come from going down there.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Do you have similar things where you act like that? Are you the person that can put the cookies in the pantry and then resist their siren call because you don’t see the on the counter?
I had an appointment with the dentist today and managed to enter a semi-fugue state while I was getting my teeth scraped and probed. The hygenist asked me questions about my flossing or my discomfort level and I just made vague noises that I thought might stop the questions. They did, and I don’t need anything else done.
I prefer to rip that bandaid off than pretend otherwise to get the unpleasant stuff over and done with.
if you told me way back when i played and was recruited to play in europe i would have called you crazy to suggest that in my lifetime i’d watch canada vs. the world cup champs in the semi finals of copa america.
if you told me a few years ago that the refs were going to cheer for messi all the way to a world cup championship and do the same for messi in the semi finals against canada in copa america…
well…don’t colour me surprised.
go colombia!
Not sure what an American is supposed to think about this rant. We have a soccer leadership that is happy to have the national team coached by Brick Tamland.

The last 20 years have left me with the conclusion that the US doesn’t have a men’s national team, just some dudes who play pick up games against pros from other countries.
Costa Rica has about the population of Connecticut, and more or less pulls off the same results in major events as the US.
I kind of figure the entire US Soccer Federation is about as high level as the part time volunteer who runs soccer in the whole state of Connecticut.

apparently im the kind of person that thinks….hey…i should unplug the electronics
…yeah… but the footies on innit?
