Different level of play in this match against the #7 seed. She's making Coco run a lot and mixing up the play much more. No more baseline slugfests. Coco lost first set 3-6. Maybe she will bounce back as she did last match.

 

Well, Coco's story at Wimbledon has come to a close. She did well and certainly has a bright future.

 

Meanwhile, got an incredible match going on right now between two Czechs - unseeded Muchova and #3 seed Pliskova. Third set tied 11-11!!

 

Speaking of shooting the breeze.........

We were in Bristol RI and I took this photo tonight The building was above the water, 10' or so, you can see how far up the water came during the deadly hurricane of 1938. There were no advance warning systems then. And this was "only" at Cat 3
The 1938 New England Hurricane (also referred to as the Great New England Hurricane, Long Island Express, and Yankee Clipper) was one of the deadliest and most destructive tropical cyclones to strike Long Island, New York, and New England. The storm formed near the coast of Africa on September 9, becoming a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, before making landfall as a Category 3 hurricane[1] on Long Island on September 21. It is estimated that the hurricane killed 682 people,[2] damaged or destroyed more than 57,000 homes, and caused property losses estimated at $306 million ($4.7 billion in 2017).[3

 

When I was a kid visiting Maine you could still see the swath of missing trees where it came ashore.

 

Wherabouts in Bristol is that building Lainey? I’m very familiar with Bristol but haven’t heard of that building.

 

It's the back side of a small firehouse, Engine 2. Not far from where the Ferry to Prudence Island comes in. Thames Street. Across from Aidan's Pub.

Same street as this building where they still make braided rugs. I took a picture years ago of this building...it needed painting at the time. It had more character then. Still a cool old building.

 

Cool. Very familiar with where that is I was a pizza delivery guy in Bristol for a couple of years way back when got to know the area well. The actor Anthony Quinn had a place on poppasquash point.

 

Maybe Michigan is so bad.

 

Rick's quote for the day. "The roof is leaking, the dryer is not working, my wife is not working." I'm not taking the bait, but I'm off to the laundromat to dry the laundry. The dyer is not heating up. Most reasonable service/repair call will be made on Friday. The roof is leaking near the chimney flashing. Not a huge deal and thankfully, no damage to ceilings. The roof is relatively new, so I'm guessing the contractor should have replaced the flashing, when we had the roof replaced, but he thought it to be in good shape The wife not working? Well that's not going to change.
