I love football Saturdays on The Planet Ann Arbor but you have to plan your travel carefully so as to be able to get around town.

There was a noon game today and I did not plan my travel very carefully. I waited until I’d had my coffee to leave for the Plum. But. When I finally left, I went down to make a left turn onto N. Maple and THERE WERE NO CARS coming from either direction.

The Plum was also not crowded and I met up with my mouse and some of her co-workers for a few minutes and we shared stories about today’s football traffic or lack thereof. Our take is that the football folks were all camped out in their RVs over at Pioneer High or wherever and were partying this morning.

A while after that and after umpteen bazillion phone calls with family members, the GG space-i-fied me to drive up to FlaMan’s place. I had the afternoon to myself. Was I productive? Not really. Just semi. I did unbox the new canvas laundry hamper for the moomincabin and put the clean moomincabin laundry into it. We’ll see how this contraption works.

At the end of the afternoon, the GG was back, the football game was over and there was a huge amount of yowling and caterwauling coming from the direction of Vet’s Park. Was it a skate park event? Yes. But it was also a bunch of “old” guys doing a rock band type concert. They sounded really raspy and we were guessing they had some kind of amplified sound musheen thingy to make the raspy stuff. It wasn’t exactly the best music I’ve ever heard but I have learned over the years that almost any music is good music. I enjoyed it a lot from our back yard a few blocks away.
