World football update: random news

• Real Madrid news: Real Madrid's friendly this week against an Albanian team called Gramozi was delayed for over an hour due to a power failure in the Albanian capital of Tirana. The Albanian Socialist Party announced that "Albania has been made a laughing stock." Real Madrid won the match 2-1.
• Ridiculous rumor of the week: Reports have speculated that Real Madrid's Kaka may be leaving the team due to his poor performance so far this year. According to rumors, one likely destination is his former club, AC Milan.
• Derby della Madonnina update: This Sunday, Inter will host Milan in the Derby della Madonnina. This game is especially important this year because Milan have fought their way back into the race for the Scudetto after a terrible start to the season. Milan, however, are worried about injuries to many of their most important players, including Nesta, Seedorf, Pato, and Flamini.

Wallace Falls

Alexandra and I are just back from Wallace Falls in Wallace Falls State Park near Gold Bar, Washington. I just bought a new pair of hiking boots and wanted to try them out. The worked great, much better than the old ones.




These power lines gave off a very nice buzz, hum, crackle, and even an occasional pop.



Check out the falls in action.
