the mad sports man

 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.

 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. 

 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.

 So, flag football is in the next summer games and Canada's women's team has qualified. Won their semi final game over Mexico 20-6 and will face the USA for the championship. (No idea which one).

 On this day in 1958, the newly renamed CFL played its first game in Winnipeg as the Blue Bombers bead the Edmonton Eskimos 29-21. Winnipeg beat Hamilton for that years Grey Cup 35-28.

 Key West FL is closer to Havana Cuba than to Miami FL. Detroit is north of Windsor. Derby Line Stanstead is a welll know border town. Some of the US/Canada border is on the road. The rest in town goes through homes AND a library.  Stuart McLean recorded an episode of the Vinyl Cafe from that library.
