I needed a forum to express my displeasure with the wind. What better way to reach an audience than through my blog. Seriously, I'm totally fed up with the wind. I've said numerous times today and I'll say it again, "I hate the wind."
You're probably asking yourself, why does Dustin hate the wind so much. For many reasons, really. Right now, though, I hate it because I was hit by an errant shopping cart speeding through the Fred Meyer parking lot tonight.
It was howling wind and spitting rain outside, so I pulled up to the curb to let Abby out of the car so she'd be that much closer to the door. (What any nice husband would do for their amazing wife.) I then proceeded to find a parking spot, when all of a sudden I noticed out of the corner of my eye a shopping cart speeding across the lot straight for me. I had two options: Stop and let it nail me; or gun it and swerve. It was a going to leave a mark no matter what, so I gunned it and tried to avoid it. WHAMMO!!! I was hit. UGH!
Thanks to the wind we have a dent in the car! Way to go wind. You've ruined my car and my night. Boo.
(I would have attached a picture, but it's too nasty and dark outside to snap one. Maybe later.)

Go HAWKS!!!
Wow, what a blowout! I would have never guessed that the Seahawks would win so convincingly over the Jacksonville Jaquars. Not after having lost their last two games. I fully expected them to lose again. Instead, we spent the whole game jumping up and down, hooting and hollering because they scored so many times. We whalloped them 41-0. INCREDIBLE! Mind bottling, really.
Here we are all decked out in our Hawks gear walking to the Stadium.

It's always so much fun going to the games. There's nothing like cheering for the team with 60,000 other fans. When the Hawks are on defense, you have to be ready to work. The whole stadium stands up and screams as loud as they can. We lead the league in creating false starts with our noise. Then, when the offense is on the field, you sit down and relax.
I don't think we've been to a game yet when they've lost. We've had some amazing luck picking games over the years.

Tromping through a corn maze
Abby and I went and visited our friends Ryan and Michelle on Saturday. Since it was so nice out, we decided to go visit Bob's corn maze. It turned out to be a bit more challenging than we expected. In fact, if Ryan hadn't snuck a map of the maze in with him, I'm not sure we would have found our way out. It was easily the most difficult corn maze I've been in.

Can you believe that it is fall already? It's just crazy. Soon we'll be ringing in the year 2010. That's mind bottling.

Did it again: I'm 2 for 2
It doesn't matter what else happens today, today is a good day! You know why? I've had success again. I caught a second mole trespassing in my yard.
I woke up last weekend and noticed a single mole hole in the back of my yard. It was barely visible, but I spotted it. I prompty dusted off the trap and set it in the yard. I checked the trap repeatedly the first few days to see if I'd caught anything. I started to lose heart after a few days when nothing showed up in the trap. I went outside this morning to set up the sprinkler and noticed a new mole hole. I thought, "Ugh, stupid moles!" The hole was on the other side of the yard from the trap too. I figured I better check the trap just in case. Much to my surprise, the trap had a mole in it. SWEET!
I was pretty sure I'd got my money's worth with the trap by catching the first mole. Now I'm positive I've got way more than my money's worth with the second catch. Maybe I should start my own mole-trapping business.
I hope the rest of you have an uber-amazing day too!
