Last week I told y’all about helping my cousin move to Wimberley.
Well, while loading the truck, this scene broke out and I just had to take a picture.
Hey, if it works it works.
Today Bruiser started his very own Twitter account.
You can follow him at @Sir_Bruiser. I’ll put a feed for him in the sidebar sometime soon.
Here goes nothin’:
• Tiebreaker game:
Twins over Tigers - Twins are 7-2 against Detroit in The Met, need I say more?
• ALDS:
Yankees over Twins - I think this one will go five games.
Angels over Red Sox - The Angels do us all a favor and save us from the hype of another Sox-Yanks ALCS.
• NLDS:
Cardinals over Dodgers - The Dodgers limped into the post-season, and they'll limp out. Cardinals sweep.
Rockies over Phillies - Rockies are hot, Phillies closer situation is a mess. Rox in 4.
• ALCS:
Angels over Yankees - They split the season series and Yankees have home field, but the Angels are playing for Adenhart (who they must have *really* liked) and I'm thinking that might be enough to push them over. Well, that and I hate the Yankees. I'm looking for this one to go six or seven.
• NLCS:
Rockies over Cardinals - Rockies went 6-1 against the Cards, including a four-game sweep at Busch. Rockies sew it up in five.
• World Series:
Angels over Rockies - This has the potential to be a good series. When the teams met in the regular season, the Angels took two of three in Anaheim. Angels gt it done in six, I think.
Of course, what I'd love to see is a Dodgers-Yankees series that ends with Joe Torre beating his former team. But that'll never happen.

Over Labor Day weekend, I took a trip to Wimberley, TX to help my cousin move. I forgot my good camera, but I shot some pictures with my cell.
Like this one. I was sitting on the back porch at their new house when I took this.
That’s a real cactus.

Hate exercise? Love boobs? You need to see this:
If you hate exercise, but still want to look good, stare at women's breasts for at least ten minutes every day. The study of German scientists shows that ten minutes of staring at female breast does the same thing for men as half an hour of pushups or weight lifting, international media reports.
I must not do enough looking…

You know that evil, man-made global warming? Yea, well, it doesn’t look like it’s all our fault after all…
A team of researchers from the US, Denmark and New Zealand have discovered a process through which a prevalent biogenic nonmethane hydrocarbon compound emitted by trees—isoprene—forms atmospheric particulate matter (i.e., secondary organic aerosol). The results are published in the 7 August issue of the journal Science.
Aerosols impact human health, due to their ability to penetrate deep into lungs, and impact Earth’s climate through the scattering and absorption of solar radiation and through serving as the nuclei on which clouds form, noted co-author Prof. John Seinfeld from Caltech. “So it is important to know where particles come from.”
Awesome.

I know I’ve said it before, but she’s only a week older than Bruiser.

| You Are Pause |
 You're always willing to take a break and digest everything that's happened. You are patient with life. You are happy to sit back and let things unfold. You're not in a hurry. You're content to take things at someone else's pace. |

O NOES! A giant puppy’s coming after that school bus!
As I’ve mentioned a few times before, mom breeds Shelties. This little guy’s from one of those litters.
Next week, I think I’ll run a picture of Sassy who, if I remember right, is this little guy’s mommy.

 You tend to be the first to hop on trends. You are an early adopter who is ahead of the curve. Besides being a tech junkie, you also tend to be a pop culture and news junkie. You're well aware of the world around you... and even a bit of a gossip. You love to be in the loop. |

Well, considering the date, I thought this one was appropriate. It’s from Astros Opening Day in 2006.
If you can’t tell, that’s the giant flag that they whip out at sporting events on special occasions.
I mean, come on, how awesome is this?

All I did was pick a picture and it came up with this. Oddly enough, it sounds kinda like me…
| You Are Confident and Dominant |
 You know how to be strong for yourself and the people you love. You have a protective streak. You sometimes come off as a little assertive. You know what you want, and you're not afraid to go get it. The only thing you require from people is that they're straight with you. You are ready for the truth. |

This weekend I’m making my first ever trip out to Wimberley, Texas.
I’m going with my cousin who’s moving out there. We’re loading up the truck, driving out, unloading the truck, and coming back Monday.
I’m bringing along the camera, so there will be pictures.
And, of course, I’ll be posting updates to Twitter.
See y’all Monday!
Welcome to Friday Photo, a new feature where I share photos that I've taken with the world.
I really should stop rehashing old photos, but I’ve got so many good ones that I think deserve this larger format… well, that and it’s been a while since I’ve shot some.
Here’s one I shot at a ranch near College Station:
I’d gone to the ranch with my mom to drop off Ashley, one of my mom’s dogs, with a stud Sheltie. I’d brought the Rebel with me and took some pictures of the horses while my mom did her thing.
Being a city kid, I didn’t have much experience with horses, and what little I have had was… shall we say… mixed. They’re big animals and I never know what to expect from them, so I was a little intimidated. The horses there were incredibly friendly, though,
Ah, memories…
This has to be faked one way or another:
