Alright stop cheering. WWE’s in Sacramento tonight, at Arco. Anyone else check this out, or better yet, was anyone there? In fact, is anyone even here?
I’m in the midst of watching the show on TV, taped live today at Arco Arena in our own “a**hole” of a town (according to Vince McMahon). Here is your blogcast of the event as it went down on TV:

We see crime stories on TV everyday. But, when it happens to you in person, it’s just not as entertaining. There’s no overly-made up anchor there to tell your story, nor is your story concluded with a jazzy 30 second spot about how you can score a pay-what-they-pay deal on a oversized gas guzzler.
Not to say that I was the victim of a crime, but I did get to watch one unfold almost right in front of me just this last weekend.

They’re watching us. Oh, they are watching us.
People from Montana are, anyway. Check this one out. The 2005 National Youth Workers Conference is going on in Sacramento, and apparently, the meeting is out to undermine the entire Christian faith by introducing “eastern practices” into the Church. Though, isn’t the birthplace of Christianity in the “east”? How far is Jerusalem from Montana, anyway? But I digress…
She says parents and youth workers need to be aware that those who approve of putting Christian youth into this semi-conscious state “are the same people sponsoring this Youth Workers’ conference.”
Semi-conscious state? I wouldn’t worry about it too much, Montananonianites. Sacramento has that effect on everyone.
This story won’t do Sac’s reputation for driver inability any good, I reckon. And check it out, looks like KCRA is gettin’ a bit snarky themselves.
We’ve launched a snarkolution. And it has been televised.
By the way, I “accidentally” typed up this entry and hit “Publish”, and it showed up on the site! What are the odds!
As if the chickens haven’t already gone through enough!
KCRA reports about a truck carrying chickens on Highway 99 yesterday that crashed and then started a grass fire:
“If they weren’t wearing seatbelts, they would’ve been ejected and landed on barbwire … they’re very lucky,” CHP Officer Steven Rice said.
Let this be a lesson to all the other chickens who don’t wear seatbelts.
I thought it might be appropriate at this juncture to start keeping track of the types of places Sacramento-area people don’t want to see in their neighborhoods. If we can figure out what the common theme is among these places, maybe we’ll get more insight into what makes Sacramento tick. So, presenting these places in the order that engenders the most snark:
Hooters
Mosques
Churches
Malls
What’s next… car dealers? Well, actually, yup.
Any theories?
Driving down the I-80 last night near Truxel around 10 PMish, I and a friend of mine noticed some fireworks off in the distance. We couldn’t figure out why there’d be fireworks, other than for 9/11 commemorations. Hardly appropriate, we thought.
It turns out that the fireworks were actually coming from Raley Field, where the Tacoma Raniers just knocked off the River Cats in the PCL playoffs. The Raniers are now headed to the finals against Nashville, while the River Cats are headed to the nearest golf course.
So, fireworks? Still hardly appropriate, we think.
On my way into work this morning, I was listening to the radio and caught an interview with New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin on KSAC. It hit me hard, because despite what you hear from other interviews and press conferences, you could hear the frustration and desperation in his voice – someone who is at the scene and is trying to deal with the catastrophe at the ground level.
At first, it didn’t occur to me to post anything about the disaster, because it wasn’t exactly a local story. But, I’m sure all of our thoughts and prayers are with those who are suffering along the Gulf Coast. I would encourage anyone and everyone to try and help out anyway they can, if even by way of a donation to the Red Cross (1-800-HELP-NOW) or another appropriate relief organization.
In tribute to back to school time, here’s great article from the Sac State Hornet.
During any of my first weeks at school, one of my priorities was to find the can that I felt most comfortable, uh, canning in. It would be my main thinking place on campus during that semester. It seems Ms. Rosas found hers.
Liberating, isn’t it?
What does it mean when your home builder tells you your house is one size, but when you move in, it actually seems smaller?
Well, maybe you put on a few pounds, but come on you haven’t put on THAT much weight. You see, as News10 reports, homebuilder JTS is accused of telling homeowners that their houses were bigger than the structures really were.
Who knows, in the mad rush to sell and buy homes in this city, JTS may not be the only ones guilty of this type of “internal miscommunication”.
