Boy, this is getting messy... a team comes to town with a losing record, and yet we play down to their level.
And what does the Team Name mean anyway?
Only redeeming point was not the game itself, but the regular Wednesday Night food eating contest during the first intermission called "Hungry Hungry Humpday". This week - MY FAVORITE snack - Edy's (or Dreyer's) Dibs. It was how many Ice Cream Dibs (I don't know the flavor, but it looked like vanilla) you can eat in 4 minutes. I SO could have done this contest... and, it turned out, that it wasn't how many you can eat in 4 minutes, but rather how quick you could eat the 60 Dibs in the bucket, Since the winner finished before the 4 minute mark. If ever there was a food to eat in "Hungry Hungry Humpday", this was mine. I wish I knew about it...

I had heard talk about this, as an option for the future, but I had thought it was going to be expensive. It turns out, they are actually doing commercial flight tests of ananti-missile system. The tests, though on commercial MD-11's , are all on freighters from FedEx, so no passengers are involved.
