T-Shirt Collection (another in an undetermined number)




You pick up some pretty spiffy stuff at garage sales, you know ...

... and this one was a neat find that brought back memories of the first car I ever remember my folks owning: A 1960s Chevy Impala, complete with rear bullet lights not unlike this one ...

T-Shirt Collection (first in a series*)



As a diehard Los Angeles Dodger fan (which is sometimes a a difficult and burdensome proposition in the neck of the woods I'm in, let me tell you) it's hard to let things go when it comes to The Boys In Blue.

Take this shirt for example:

Working in the garage one afternoon, a can of paint "decided" to go from a table top to the ground, arcing swashes of paint in places it never should have gone in the first place. Including my shirt.

The result? Instant work shirt.

No need to toss the thing - it's still in good condition wearability-wise.

It's just got more character now ...

Enjoyment



Understand: I had a great time at the Sacramento River Cats game Saturday night against the Tacoma Rainiers. (When the home team walks away with win, everyone at the stadium is in a good mood.)

But I was taken aback at a few items in and around the West Sacramento locale. 

Cobwebs and dirty seats were a few of the off-putting things of note. Yeah ... the seats were probably wiped down from the previous night with less-than-clean towels leaving a dirty residue on them.

But ... cobwebs all over the place? 

Fortunately, there's a recourse. Or so I thought. There's a big banner on the outfield wall that says to "text 'Foul' and the problem/concern" to a particular number. And that's just what I did. 

The result? See for yourself:

You know ... it's kind of hard to argue with this one.

That Steve ... He's Such A Kidder


Steve Martin called me this afternoon!

 
He did! Really! Truly! Listen for yourself ...



That Steve ... he's such a kidder. And the guy's good, too. It doesn't even sound like him.

I haven't had the chance to call back yet.  

*hhmmmmmmmm* I wonder: Why's he in San Francisco?
