Today was the last day of the dry season. Tomorrow the winter rains are expected with downpours and high wind. I have been working hard finishing up landscaping projects and putting the vegetable garden to bed before the rains do hit and I can't drive the tractor over the yard without making ruts and a general mess.
Tonight Dave and I went to the Oregon/UCLA game with 49,998 other yellow Ducks and a tiny wedge of Bruins in blue.

I don't really like football but there was an empty seat next to Dave and we haven't been on a date in quite a while. Autzen is renowned for the fan noise which funnels right down to the field. I was so glad Dave brought an extra pair of ear plugs. My ears are still ringing even though I used them. It was fun being part of the sea of yellow. The game wasn't barbarian. The plays were fast, well executed and actually exciting to watch. With my two lifetime games, I can now say that have seen OJ and the #1 team in the U.S. play at Autzen stadium.
