It's only a game.
I keep trying to tell my daughters that- one crying for Argentina and Messi, the other Germany and Kroos. That phrase goes over in this household like a lead zeppelin (yes, I realize)...

Boy it got dark. But I'll take rain and a break from the heat, a repeat of yesterday. How come we're all under the heat dome except Gary?? Get in here with the rest of us, misery loves company. This would be more fun if this dome was like the one on Get Smart.
I've been watching a little of the soccer. It's just too slow paced for me, the action takes so long to move down the field and nobody ever comes close to scoring. If there isn't hockey on I like lacrosse and rugby but soccer just isn't my thing.
I was back and forth between that and one of those beach party movies, which at least had Buster Keaton in it. Any of those movies done as a series seem to run its course after, like, the second movie! Then Elvis came on, riding in a jeep in the Smokies, and I realized he was actually in the jeep in and out of sun and shade, and it sure looks like he was really in the Smokies. Not very Elvis-like though. Came back to soccer since it went into OT to see how it turns out.

Finishing going through the wedding photos of a week ago. Thank goodness for shallow DOF. Totally amazing what headgear people wear at weddings, such as trees, flagpoles, chunks of buildings, etc. Fortunately, shallow DOF mushes that into vague shapes.
We're having the same heat "up north" as you people "down south". Yesterday, took a shower, put on clean, dry clothes, and within 5 minutes was soaked from head to toe with sweat. Decided, if you can't beat it, might as well join it, and went on a three hour 18 km (a little over 10 miles) paddle in my kayak. Fortunately, had several litres of water with me, and had another two after I got back, so wasn't too dehydrated. My wife (the smarter one) just shook her head a little when I told her I was out for a paddle. Then again, she does know me.
When we came home from the cottage, we collected by 95-year old mother and brought her to stay with us (we have air conditioning, she does not) for the next week or so. The local health authority called me asking me if I knew if she was ok, as they were calling all seniors in their area, and she wasn't answering her phone. Told them that she was safe with us.
Also having a visit by my newest grand-daughter - a cool place to rest while mom runs around in the heat buying groceries. I'll be heading out shortly to BBQ some chops. Maybe I'll just save the gas and throw them on top of the BBQ cover. Might take a couple of minutes longer to cook.

Dave's team won! after a, um... penalty shot OT? in hockey it's called a shootout, I forget what they called it in the soccer game.
Elvis went blonde, he's supposed to be an identical cousin. Sure, okay...

Yup, penalties. So when you see a score, you see "FT (P)" for the full time score and then the score after penalties.

So since Portugal is out, I am basically paying attention to which team I want to be knocked out. Russia and Brazil need to go out in the quarters.
It would be nice to see a first-time winner take it all, so that excludes Uruguay, France, and England (sorry, Dave!) But ultimately, I would be fine if anyone other that Brazil or Russia.
