From bad to worse

Our hockey losing streak has now reached 5 straight after a 7-2 drubbing last night. Once again (2nd week in a row) we were stuck with Roger in goal. I don't want to say he's bad but... yeah, he's downright awful. I swear he has no peripheral vision. Shit that had no business going in continues to go right by him. It wouldn't be so bad if there was another crappy goalie to match up with him but he's far and away the worst there is. We lose by 5 but dominated the game. How in the fuck does that work? We hold the puck in their zone for minutes at a time peppering their goalie but we can't get one by him. They finally get the puck out, skate down, take a weak ass shot and score. And once again, he gives up 2 goals in the first minute of the game so we're automatically playing from behind. That's disheartening. We were down 3-0 and staged a mini-comeback getting it to 3-2 and then they got a breakaway and it was the turning point in the game. If Roger makes the save we gain momentum and possibly catch them. However, Roger couldn't come up with it and that was all she wrote.

Strange drive home after the game too (10:45pm). The temp was 71 and the dewpoint must have been the same because the air was so thick you could hardly breathe. There was a ton of fog and I could not keep my windshield clear despite all the windows open and the a/c cranked and on defrost. I'm sick of the humidity!

That windshield thing has been happening to me.

Only thing is to turn on the AC and freeze. All windows open and STILL I can't see out!!

It was so strange. I'd be ok then I would drive through one spot and my windshield would completely fog over. I'd get it cleared and then it would happen again. I tried everything but nothing worked.
