In my days, I have encountered many motorcycle rallies ranging from hardcore biker gangs to weekend warriors. Never before, however, have I come across a motor scooter rally. Such was the scene in Concord today. Venturing a guess, I would say these all looked to be Italian in origin.

Earlier in the day, my soccer team played in the semi-finals of the end-of-the-season playoffs to determine the best team in the division. It was possibly our worst game of the season but still good enough to produce a 3-0 win. It was the first time we played in very humid conditions which has a way of zapping your energy. Next weekend we play in the finals for all the marbles. I played reasonably well and managed to put a good header on frame. Unfortunately, it was straight at the keeper.

Kyle has been up to some major landscaping in his backyard and shared the photos below. I fear I may have created a DIY monster by working with him on his basement renovation. These look to be some first-rate retaining walls.
