Stormy day in Portland

Yep, today is that day you put some wood on the fire and remember that you have not put all the wood away yet in the shed. Here in Portland stormy weather is not something nice. Rain, I can deal with, but stormy weather I just want to stay in the house. Last weekend my wife, Rebecca, and I went to the Oregon Zoo. The penguin exhibit was opened and I am very impressed with it. I also went into the aviary and stayed for a hour just admiring the birds while I warmed up a bit. I love the clouds after the rain is gone or in Portland, stops for a bit.

Are you a football fan? I am a huge football fan but unfortunately just not able to buy tickets to major college or pro football. I have found an alternative, High School Football.

Throughout the northwest high school football has heated up. The northwest is not known for the local football programs but with the cost of a ticket, $0 for this game how could I just sit home. You can find more of my images from the side show of Wilson vs Salem High School Varsity football. The game was a nail biter until the final quarter when Wilson dominated the game with a combination of running and gunning 28-14.
