Mmmm . . . Nuts!

Again I fall victim to the impulse purchase and the lure of the woot-off. I hear Fiddyment Farms cranks out some quality pistachios, larger and more flavorful than what you end up with at the grocery store or other bulk venues. Admire now, they'll be gone in short order.


We hit the park yesterday after getting Pinkerton set up on my old Airborne TT bike, looking like the goon squad, all aero-geeked out, the only thing missing were some skin suits and aero helmets. Surprisingly little had to be changed on the bike to get Pinkerton comfy and aero. We moved the elbow pads in because he has no shoulders and tilted the seat up a hair, because that's just how he rolls. Time will tell, but if he doesn't do well at Tour of the Gila, it isn't my fault.

In college hoops excitement, Carolina put on another clinic in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament, taking apart Washington State like a turkey on Thanksgiving day. The game tomorrow against Louisville should actually be a good game. I don't expect a blowout as reflected in their 20+ point average margin of victory in the early rounds.
