Moth Slaughter

I finally found a household chore that I'm good at: moth extermination. I don't know how handy that is for most households, but in ours, it's crucial. That's because we have a freaking pestilence in our kitchen. I don't know how it happened, but it's gotten worse the past few days. Then, last night, I opened the pantry door and nearly got swept away. At that point, I snapped. I was like Kurt Russell at the end of Tombstone, yelling "No!" and killing everything in sight. The massacre lasted an hour; final score: Powell 100, Moths 0.

I've seen a few stragglers today, but my technique is so honed at this point, the little bastards don't stand a chance. Just give me a rolled-up magazine and get ready for some fireworks.

Attention, United Kingdom: I will be rocking you from July 26 - August 5. I'm very excited, as I've never set foot in Europe before. We're thinking that we'll hit London and all of the crap around there, then hit Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Of course, since I'm flying American Airlines, there's a very real chance that I won't see any of this. Knowing their hatred for me, I can see them redirecting the flight to Reykjavik at the halfway point out of spite. Anyway, as we get closer to the trip itself, expect lots more news here. (Also, if you have any sights to recommend, let me know.)

Message to Texas Rangers fans: how long do we have to wait before we give up entirely on this season? Leaping lizards, man, I wouldn't trust Jon Daniels in a baseball card trade, let alone a trade involving actual players. Can we just trade entire teams with someone? In my world, that would include players, coaches, front offices, stadiums, uniforms, etc. I say we call Steinbrenner really late at night, make our pitch quickly in a garbled voice, and demand an answer on the spot. This could work!
