Falling down a hill and missing class

That's right today I fell partially down a hill, a muddy one at that with two cameras around my shoulder. For the hoards of people reading this everyday, they know its been wet around here, if you haven't been reading then see the previous blog on flooding. That being said I as headed down the hill on my feet to take some photos for a story on Central Washington University grad students working with local kids to teach them about water shed stuff.



Part way down the hill, my speed increased, not on purpose and the slip ans sliding began. after falling on my rear in mud, I got up and somehow managed to keep the cameras from the mud. They are the important things, I can be fixed, that's what Ive always been told. After getting my photos I tried to get back up the hill, and found out something I should have known. This is a very tough math equation so stay with me here people.



Mud+ steep Hill slope + sketchers brown shoes =

mud on clothes and entertainment for those watching you



I eventually got up the hill with the aid of a stick for balance, my shoes were waited down with mud by the time I got to the top. I pretty sure I was being laughed at by middle schoolers, brings me back to middle school. So being muddy and going to class wasn't going to happen for the sake of others in the class so I went home and changed then headed to the other class.



Following class I went back to work and worked on website stuff, here and here and here for the rest of the day. Were still dealing with road closures and flood stuff so the updating was pretty frequent. Then its was off to see the national championship and keeping with my tradition I rooted for Oklahoma and they lost. Every team Ive hoped would win in games that I have watched this post season has lost.



Penn State Lost

Atlanta Falcons Lost

Indianapolis Colts Lost

Oklahoma Lost



I'm 0-fer people, well at least I didn't have any money on them. That's alright the Thunder are loosing (they are 5 and 31 as of today) and that makes it all better, take that Clay. (for those of you who don't know the thunder used to be the Seattle SuperSonics, until Bennett bought them and moved them to Oklahoma City.) Anyways now that I'm off that tangent thanks for bearing with me on it, Ive got an email to write for reasons I'm not going to discuss here, other then to say I should have won an Oscar for my performance related to the incident that the email is about. Oh One other thing Some of the flood photos got picked up by a paper in bremerton, I haven't seen them but was told about them from tow friends, so that's cool.
