For over a half hour...really? That's about the time I went in there and lowered the shade.

BTW: My lovely wife is driving down to Memphis to watch our son play some intra-squad games at his school. She just reported to me that there have been several nasty accidents on rain slickened I-57 near Marion,IL. One involved several vehicles.

Be careful folks.

FYI:



gotwood, that area is always dangerous.

The mass of yellow in the above picture and dead center is where Troy, Illinois is. If you look hard, you will notice that 3 interstates come together in that area.

I'm looking real hard Coach...squinting in fact...oh there's Troy...and I can see your school too...and you Coach...I can see you...you're standing out front in the circle drive and you're waving...no...no...that's not a wave is it...no...definitely not a wave...more like a salute really.

Woody - a one fingered salute for you

No CD...I think he was pointing excitedly to the weather satellite...yeah...that's what Coach was doing. I can't figure out why he looks so mad.

I was looking angry because I was going under and you were just sitting there looking at me. I had SOS written in ink as I was giving you that salute. Perhaps the ink smeared and you couldn't read it. Rain has stopped. Temp is dropping FAST! Wind is increasing and it is getting very dark west of here. Oh, here's why:



More rain headed our way!!!

SOS? Save Our Series...from the rain.

"Temp is dropping FAST!" Stop talking that way Coach...otherwise MN-Mom will be headed your way to warm up!

I really do hope they get the game in and you can get your garage door closed so that you can enjoy it!

Got Wood,

What school does your son play for?

Are you sure she is going all the way down to Memphis and not stopping in St. Louis to catch a "intra-squad" game?

No she's not Meeting Me in St.Louis...or anyone else for that matter.

I just bird-dogged her in to Buc Field at Christian Brothers University from West Memphis,AR. She had never driven into Memphis from I-40 eastbound and I know the route very well.

She is just now sitting down to catch game two of the Buc World Series. The series is an annual match up between two teams made up from CBU's baseball team. They're known as the Bucaneers, hence Buc Field.

It's the culmination of their fall season and it gives Coach Goodwin and his staff a final look, gamewise, at the team before their season starts in early to mid February.

Hopefully our son Nick will be seeing alot of action at third base this year. Last year's third baseman graduated, along with his Gulf South Conference leading .482 BA.

Thanks for asking.

GW,

Glad to hear she made it safely!

Breaking out into song -

Oh the weather outside is frightful

But Baseball is so deliteful

Tell your boy to hit it yard

Hit it hard, hit it hard, hit it hard!

Still Learning welcome to the hsbbweb Very good poetry

Oh the karma of it all - I hope the weather holds out and the Karm-idnals take it in 5

Still Learning:

Thanks for the jingle.

My wife may be able to get away with singing into the dugout that advice to Nick (or should I say St. Nick given the tune you've offered).

I'm certain if I tried they would banish me for life from Buc Field. Besides...I can't sing worth a darn anyway.

CD!...CD! I noticed the karma references...they're quite good!

It's reassuring and satisfying to know that we have you in our ranks.

"All for karm, and karm for all!"

Thanks for noticing but I don't want you to feel like you have to recognize my contributions each time - I was just kidding you this morning. It just seems rather slow today on the hsbbweb.

It's funny but this karma game has made me think of the cartoon the Flinstones where each character's name would play on the word stone or rock in some manner. You even had famous guest appearances like Stoney Curtis, Rock Hudson playing himself, Perry Masonary, and so forth.
