Almtuna vs. Troja

It's not been a good season for Almtuna and Robin Dahlström's goal with about 5 minutes to go in the third put the game away and might have sealed their fate for the season. It looks like relegation. Of note, the 10 Troja fans made considerably more noise than the 60 Almtuna fans. It's been a steep dive since almost qualifying for Elitserien...

Timbuktu

The things unstable weather can make you do... Then again, Jason Diakité is worth seeing even on a good weather day, a class act with a message worth listening to. Timbuktu, backed by Damn at Uppsala Koncert and Kongress, 2011-12-08.

Untermensch!

To embrace the night, darkness, is not to become less but rather to open one's mind to more possibilities. And in this case, it involves removing the pads to avoid a dab. Which didn't seem to be a problem at the time... At the time I felt that X-rays of my foot might tell a different story. It also calls to mind an incident a few years back which might have led to the prescription of a little Lithium. I recommend chalking any potentially wet top outs to avoid the necessity of repeating what was already difficult to do in the first place...

It's a strange dyno, more like grabbing at something while falling away than thrusting toward it, yet when it goes, it's effortless. Shawn Boye almost sticking the dyno on Untermensch! 7B+, Focksta. The send would come a little later during, this, the second session.
