yup – supposed to be cleaning . . . and will start that soon. (heh – soon = the thirteenth month) But wanted to share these first. Hubby and I went to breakfast this morning and passed the local high school, home of the Kenai Kardinals.

Today is football homecoming. Last night was the bonfire. I didn’t get a picture yesterday of the HUGE pile of pallets and other woodstuffs, unfortunately. But – this is all that is left. And, it is still smoking.

The trail of smoke is lost in this picture because we are having a good old Irish-type mizzle. (cross between mist and drizzle) Today is likely to be a very muddy, slippery game.

But, the pep club is ready – there are balloons on the bleachers and the avenue of flags is limply fluttering – only breeze is from passing cars. The sign in the front of the school urges Success.

In the center of the parking lot sits evidence from a homecoming activity that must have taken place last night during the bonfire:

Looks like the Homer Mariners are in for a psyched up team and fan base today. And, it appears the team spirit is alive and well. So, GO KARDS!!! I hope it is a good game – a safe game – a well-played game.
