It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Nov. 9th, 2020 09:54 pmWe have the best landscaping services anywhere! Trufax, after years of waiting, the landscapers came today and redid the front of my condo. There are some benefits of only having one apparent season. Mine did not come with Lawn and Order, Make America Rake again stickers though sadly. If you want to go to other landscaping services that cater to all four seasons, I can personally attest that Lucy's BBQ right up the street is really good.
It was good to see drumline Elmo again. Drumlines make me miss the Philadelphia Union which makes me not nostalgic because I wasn't supposed to be here anyway this week to watch them win! The announcers were all, "In Major League Soccer, the count is complete. And the winner comes from Pennsylvania."
In soccer leagues, elsewhere in the world, it'd be all over, and we would have won the whole enchilada. But because we are in the US, there are still playoffs. However, MLS fans like to pay nod to traditions so they award the "Supporter's Shield" at the end of regular season to the team with the most points. There's a trophy lift and everything.
But because it's not known until the end and it could go in multiple ways on the last day, and because they aren't as high class as say the Premiere league which has two trophies ready for dispatch where they are needed, the MLS supporter's Shield was stuck in LA.
So, hand to God, the Union's webmaster's fiance's sister's boyfriend is a Captain America cosplayer in New Jersey. So they called him, asked to borrow his shield, hot glue gunned a vinyl sticker over it and used that for the trophy lift.
