Amazing catches and riots

Before I run off and do inventory and whatever else I need to for work here's a few amazing catches from some Japanese baseball games that happened this summer.  Yahoo Sport labeled this "The most amazing catch we'll see this season"

Then this happened a few weeks later.



Of course if you were actually at the stadium you'd discover that the wall is only 3ft high.  They're a short people.

Finally here's a link to some videos from this weekends New West Fest riots.  Nothing special I was hoping to see some more aggressive baton use on some stupid people. 

Lots to do today, little time to do it.

Kids these days

Tonight we had a private party at Hodi's for a girl's 21st birthday. Worked out pretty well till the end when all the drunk college kids started acting like drunk college kids. All kinds of fun. Turns out though we had a fairly well behaved crowd compared to the rest of Old Town. This weekend is New West Fest in Fort Collins and the first night and today seemed to go well. Big crowds in old town, live music, vendors, big affair. Became a much bigger affair toward the end of the night. Saw a lot of cops south of Hodi's. Had heard some guy got stabbed. Some how it became a riot and we could see the tear gas from Hodi's. Heard something about chairs or people being thrown through shop windows. By the time Travis was changing the marque the cops had cordoned off Old Town and were walking down College Ave in a line wearing riot gear carrying tear gas and paintball guns pushing people out of area.

What the hell is wrong with people? How many people really need tear gas shot at them to decide to behave? Too many stupid people I guess. Wherever i retire I'll have to make sure to go somewhere far away from stupid people.
