The umpire... is like the geyser in the bathroom; we cannot do without it, yet we notice it only when it is out of order. ~Neville Cardus


Time for the weekly post sans photos...


Today was spent learning how to be a judge/umpire for an athletics event that will be here on the first weekend of August. UMFÍ is the Icelandic young peoples sporting organisation and because a town that was supposed to host had to bail (probably due to recession and not having the money to build the track etc)... so Skagafjordur offered to be host this year. One of my cousins is the head honcho in the athletics side of sports here in the fjord and has called upon me and Maggi to be the main computer entry people during meets here. Anywho, now he has decided that I really need to know the rules.... So on a beautiful spring day - I was indoors learning the legal weight and length of a javelin spear... hmmm more useless information - however, bright side - orange pieces of pie in triv may now be more accessable (so long as the question relates to track and field...)

I pinched the pic after the post... suitable or what..

Track and field time of the year in Texas is marked by the frequent Sand Storms. You can bet money, if there is a track meet scheduled, there will be a sand storm.
