New X-men #42

Ultimate Spider-Man #114

Well what can you say? 13 games to go, all against the NL West. 7 games with LA, 3 with SD, and 3 with Arizona. & games with LA can certainly leap frog us over them, we might still be withing striking distance of SD and the final series with Arizona (could we be spoilers at least?). Who knows at this point, the Roxs gave a good run. Let's go out swinging at least!
Weekly WPA Leaders:
Well the relievers were the big winners this week with Corpas and Herges. Helton continues to show why it is too bad he wasn't traded to a real contender. I think Helton would do like Walker during his sole world series appearance, hit the crap out of the ball. Here's hoping Todd makes it next year (alright he still has a chance this year but unless he can go out every 5 days and pitch, I'm not holding my breath!)
Went camping this weekend. Living in Colorado you sometimes forgot how close you are to beautiful majestic places. I think I've become dulled to the beauty. A pleasant weekend camping trip was all it took to readjust that attitude! A nice campsite outside of Jefferson, Colorado, named Lodgepoll about 3 miles south of Lake Jefferson. Also right near the Colorado Trail. There is something to be said about leaving the electronic world behind and returning to an earlier time. Very primal and almost surreal. Sitting next to a fire each night watching the wood burn, the flames lick, the embers glow like nature's LED lights. If memories and DNA are related than camping is that bridge to remind us of a time when fire was the most important thing. In addition to being outside the one thing you really notice is the night time sky. The milky way gets blocked out by the city lights but in the mountains it glows with an eerie silence. To sit and gaze into a sky where constellations lose their urban definitions. Although you still can't lose sight of the technology blanket we have as you watch satellites stroll along the stars. Seeing a sky like that is somewhat humbling as the universe is thrust upon you and infinity becomes visual. I pity the city dwellers who never make it out and see the wilderness and sky and realize the world is a much bigger place then the city blocks that surround them.
