Some Numbers

 1 day left at the Tennis Grounds
28 days until Vegas
41 days until Road Trip 2010 (watch for a new blog)
82 degrees

It felt warmer today at the Tennis Tournament than yesterday although the actual temp was lower.. higher humidity and somewhat overcast and breezy.

 Huge crowds today as the semi finals got underway. The biggest and best tomorrow. Jack read an article stating the BNP Baripas Open draws over 300,000 people and brings in $250 million dollars to the valley. It runs 14 days and there are people from all over the world. Some have their national flag draped over their shoulders  and it's obvious they are from Europe or Great Britain... others just look a bit different. By my observation, European dress tends toward dowdy or trashy, depending on the country. The young girls from Latin American favor short tight skirts,low neck shirts and the highest stilletto heels they can find. Before you guys ask "whats wrong with that?" let me tell you this mode of dress is seen on those Senorita's anywhere from 90-300 lbs. The Chinese girls wear anything "Hello Kitty" or Disney.  The British ladies wear flowery wide brim straw hats  and talk about how crowded it was at Wimbledon.  Tomorrow should go fast.
