Whew...is it hot or what??

I've been in Seattle visiting some friends since the weekend and was a bit surprised when I got off the plane in SLO.

I haven't been in Seattle for many years and the biggest change I saw was the TRAFFIC. We were in Bellevue and the trip from the hotel to our friends house was taking about 5 minutes. On Monday, I made the trip at 5 PM and it took me almost 25 minutes because of the commute traffic. The only positive thing I can say is that commute didn't last hours like LA and the Bay Area.

So, I'm catching up a bit on the recent happenings around good ole' SLO. I saw that the children's museum opened which is good news. My kids had good times when we took them there when they were growing up.

I didn't like reading about the brawl during the Blues game yesterday and that the Trib would include it in the headlines. So when does throwing punches in baseball games become acceptable? Is it after high school? If the Blues is supposed to be family-oriented, why can't they make a rule that if you hit someone, you're off the team? But I don't know what's worse, the fight or the Trib reporting it like it was something that was on the same level as a player having a good game. What's next, changing the name to the "SLO Black & Blues"?? I hope that there is a followup article about what the new Blues management is doing to stop this from happening again.
