Who Knew?

I put gas in my rental car, and it doesn't have a gas cap. I didn't know about this change, you just put the gas filler into the slot and it works. Pictures from Montana posted, when I get home.

Montana

I am in Montana, my cell phone has no service ( or at least I have not figured out how to make the roam work ). I have my laptop in my room is really slow, seems to be dial up ( holy cow ). I am currently typing from the lobby computer, so far it seems a little faster, not great. all part of the adventure!

Baseball part 2

Last night, the middle of the ninth inning, Mariners are down by 1, on the big screen is how to make your ball hat into a rally hat.  Basically, turn your hat inside out and wear it.  Well, it looks a like goofy, with the bill of the hat curved the wrong way, and feels a little strange.  Donna and I had our hats on inside out, chuckled at the silliness.  Unfortunately, the rally hats did not help the team score.

Baseball



It is a tradition, fan appreciation game, which Donna and I go to the game.  So, we had a photo with the new Dave statue.  We didn't win any prizes, 3 years ago, I won a $ 250 team store gift certificate.
At the game, we heard Rick "the Peanut Guy" passed away.  I talked to Rick at the game in June, he asked if I would knit him some socks.  Rick was a character, as some one would order a bag of warm peanuts and he would toss the bag across the rows.  He was a part of the game.  Just as Dave was the Mariner announcer for many years, too.

Geese

On the drive to work, this morning, I saw a flock of Canadian Geese in a field.  Migration? Weather change?

10 years later

Ten years ago, a major tragedy hit in the USA.  It dominated the media for days, then and now.  I would think some of the families, that suffered losses would prefer a private memorial.  Peace to the families!

To Nicole

We got a mixed bouquet of of spider mums, white, lavender, pink and purple. We donated the Skagit Humane Society. We "had" to have a sugar cookie frosted with pink icing topped with sprinkles. We miss you and hope you are showing Dad around the place.
