Another day in paradise


The starting lineups

Just another exciting summers day in the northwest.... well not really because it was FRICKIN' HOT!!!! I think the record temp her today was 95+, which for here is very warm, but that?s what we are acclimatized to (pal). Mrs. H and I went the "Champions World" exhibition match at Seahawk Stadium errr... Qwest Field. Here is some images ...


This is a pretty tough game to play

Before the game Mrs H and I went to the Environmental Home Center to do some continued homework for the house project. Our home work was to check out counter top materials, cabinet materials and flooring (both tile and hardwoods). A very smart and friendly woman named Melinda helped us out and was expecting us. We came to the conclusion that we will most likely choose madrone for the floors and fir for the cabinets.

Leaving the game Mrs. H and I were walking to the car and this conversation happened (word for word). It went ?..

me- ?Hey look, there?s a spotty dog? (referring to a Dalmatian seen in the back seat of a passing car)
she- ?It would be hottier if it was all one great big black spot?
me- ?Hottier???...?

Then we saw the parking garage employee changing the sign for parking ... for the first event it was $20.00 . Earlier I said to Mrs. H ..."I bet they lower the price for the Mariner's game..." SURE ENOUGH, they lowered the price to $15.00, so I asked the employee, "hey, if I stay for the Mariner's game can I get $5.00 back?", smuggly the response was "NO"

After the game we went to a lighting store in Kirkland and receive less than stellar customer service (just because my hair is long is no reason to ignore me) ? I CAN tell you that I will not spend my cash there <PERIOD>. We left there and went to a fireplace shop (hard to grasp that one in 90+ temps!) to check out fireplaces that we liked ? after being another bad service experience, this time being talked to like we were stupid and frankly that offended me ? What happen to the days were customers were treated with a bit oif respect???

So after that I decided we needed to hydrate (did I mention it is HOT here?) ? we went into a small coffee shop to grab some ?waters? and they had soft server ice cream so we got ice cream cones ? another customer service disaster ?.

And to top it off ? what gives you the right to flip me off when your driving so poorly that I have to honk at you??? If your getting honked at regularly ? it might be time to GET THE HELL OFF THE ROAD AND TURN IN YOUR DIRVERS LICENSE (since Mrs. H refuses to let me T-Bone your stoooopid ass).

Today?s highlights do NOT include:
? Soft Serve Ice Cream
? Lights
? Fireplaces
? Dumb young adults operating motor vehicles
