Contrast

The hockey was fun if a bit disorienting. It was over 80 yesterday, TOPWLH insists on 88 although the official high was somewhat shy of that. But what the heck is "official" anyway? With summertime temperatures prevailing outdoors we ventured indoors to a building with a coat of ice on the floor. I wore my heavy fleece and took mittens along in case I might need them. It was a very disappointingly small crowd but if you think about it for even a second or two, who wants to got inside a building with a coat of ice on the floor when it is 84 outside? We do.

But if yesterday was summer, today was once again definitely fall. I invite comparison of BB's costume today with her costume from last weekend. I think she has the same sleeveless white top on under there somewhere and probably the same shorts under the tights. It didn't reach the predicted 70, the thermometer on our deck said 59 when we got home.

It was a very grey day at Lake Owasso with not a single person at the beach.

FC Nantes is in severe disarray. The team played a Coupe de Ligue match on Wednesday and lost 1-0 to a ligue 3 side. The new coach responded by firing 7 players, saying they are not good enough to be playing in Ligue 1. The team responded by losing today to Caen 3-0 to cememt their spot in 19th place. I am starting to smell a return to Ligue 2, a shame.

A very calm lake -- the usual fall winds haven't begun here yet.

It was a sunny day on Lake Michigan yesterday, and there was someone swimming. Water temps in the 60's, I hear.
