Pro Hockey

I recently went to my first pro hockey game. When I watched the Nashville Predators win against the Los Angeles Kings, the game went into overtime because the score was tied. After the first goal of overtime was played, the Predators won. They didn't finish playing out the time. I had also forgotten that hockey is played in three periods rather than quarters or halves.

There was a lot less fighting between the players than I anticipated. I'd been to a few minor league games before in which the fighting was uninterrupted for a long time by the refs. This game was tamer, but a ton of fun to watch.

Cough Drops

Old cough drops get chewy after awhile. I found out the hard way with my recent cold. Nasty stuff! The texture was also very rough, causing my tongue to become sore.

Squirrels and Birds

The squirrels outside my house are not only capable of getting to my bird feeders, in the attempt to do so, they have chewed through the perches on one side of the feeder. No wonder the birds fight over the available perches!

The squirrels have chewed completely through the rope on my other feeder, causing it to crash to the ground and spill all the seed. I enjoy watching them as much as the birds, but feel like grumbling that I need to buy another feeder now!

Kindle

I have read a few reviews of the new Kindle. I don't own one, but would love to have one. I didn't know that the new version will read books aloud. It makes me wonder what the voice sounds like and if the inflection is flat like most computerized voices are.
