A fun fact amongst...

 First the fun fact. Lee May hit the last ever home run at Crosley Field against Juan Marichal of the San Francisco Giants on June 24, 1970. Reds won 5-4.  Great labor Day weekend. Except for the rain yesterday. Montreal beat BC, Saskatchewan beat Winnipeg, Toronto beat Hamilton and Edmonton beat Calgary. 3-1 in my pickems. This weekend has Ottawa at Toronto at 11am, Saskatchewan at Winnipeg at 2pm, Calgary at Edmonton at 5pm and Montreal at BC at 8pm. All games on Saturday and all Prince Albert time.

Hello September

 September has arrived. Fall and the first day of school is around the corner. Alberta and Saskatchewan became provinces on this day in 1905.  Wouldn't it be wild to live in Lloydminster?

End of August

 Geez it's the end of August already. Seems like the whole summer flew by. School here has begun already.  NFL season and hockey season is around the corner. It's raining here at the moment. Still grateful for a shelter, getting to eat and snoozing on a bed. Will keep searching for those U-Haul graphics and license plates.

Some thinking

 It was nice leaving the doctor office knowing I lost 26 pounds. Felt good.  Got thinking of license plate and U-Haul trucks. The truck graphics seen since June 1 is at 14, US plates at 24 and trailers at 22.  I've seen one or two Canadian trailer graphics, all but two plates (Nunavut and Prince Edward Island). And seen all but one truck graphic, that being Prince Edward Island. Canadian ones were easier to remember.

More flag football

 Day after the women qualified, the men's team qualified for the 2028 summer Olympics. Had to beat Mexico in overtime to do it. They need the USA to beat Mexico in the semis to have a chance and got it.
