I have season tickets for the Washington Redskins. Yesterday was the opening game of the 2007 season (Redskins won in overtime 16-13).

One thing that I noticed during the game was that there were no periodic updates given on the scores of other NFL games as has been been the practice in past years.

I wondered why this was and think I’ve figured it out. I suspect this is the reason. If this is indeed why, it’s a pretty tacky move on the part of the Redskins organization.

And, of course the price of beer went up again this season…$8.00 for a 12 ounce cup of beer.

The “Terrible Terriers” can now come and go as they please, thanks to their new doggy door. No more whining, barking or scratching at the door to get Mom or Dad’s attention when they want to go outdoors. The picture below was taken while they were supervising the construction of the new door.

The hired help working on the door.

Ready for the finishing work.

The finished product.

Testing with “crash dummy dog.”

Live test…it works.

There goes Gunny!

It was just a bit hot out there (101.5 ^°F, 38.6 ^°C) today.  Tomorrow is expected to be better…only about 98 ^°F. 🙁

If you live in Virginia and happen to get a traffic ticket for reckless driving or one of a number of other moving violations, be prepared to part with lots of cash starting 1 July 2007. There’s a new law that takes effect then that imposes a “civil remedial fee” in addition to the initial fine. For example, if you get ticketed for reckless driving, the typical fine is about $200.00. After July 1st, you will have to pay an additional $1,050.00 “civil remedial fee.”
