a wet and windy loot shoot




There is a LOT of weather around this week, we have had rain and wind all week long, and I almost stayed in bed this morning, instead of braving the elements to check out the brocante fairs.



 
The first two were disastrous, I found almost nothing, but the third was totally worthwhile.  In a lovely setting on grass under huge beech trees;  pretty but very, very muddy.

The wind raged incessantly as I stomped around the fair with a friend, pausing now and again to shelter under a tree when the rain got too heavy.

Amazingly there were still people selling, and I was pleased with my haul.  Also amazingly I found a mannequin, the second in two weeks, having found none for a year!




Ghetto and Gibson helped me set everything out in the garden for a quick, if damp loot shoot between showers.

They liked what I bought, but they would have liked even more to come with me this morning ..... in their dreams!










So without more ado, here is what I found, I hope you enjoy and  I wish you a fun and sunny week ahead.






PS  Ghetto hopes you like his haircut, a bit tidier than when you saw him on Friday!

Garcia to the Pen, Phelps to the Rotation

From Bryan Hoch:

Freddy Garcia has been dispatched to the Yankees' bullpen, with rookie David Phelps first in line to take the veteran right-hander's place in the rotation.

Garcia was battered by the Tigers for six runs in 1 2/3 innings on Saturday in a 7-5 Yankees loss, the second straight start Garcia only recorded five outs, and the change did not come as a shock to the hurler.

"When you're pitching [poorly] out of the rotation, what do you expect?" Garcia said. "When you don't do your job, what are they supposed to do? That's what happened. They're honest. I didn't pitch the way I was supposed to pitch. It's reality."

...

"I'll be OK, man. I know," Garcia said. "I've been playing this game for a long time, and a lot of things happened to me before, and I always came off on the top. It's not going to be different. So, we'll see what happens."

With his 12.51 ERA this was a move the Yankees pretty much had to make.
