Got two new autographs for the collection today. Nevada Governor Joe Lambardo and Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon.

Hope everyone is well. I get distracted way too easy and forget Blue Sky exists. :/

htose are freaking awesome1

Today I won 12 whole yankee dollars from the county fair for a poem and a short story.
Two red ribbons... Problem with subjective judging is that it is in fact subjective. a different judge might have blued me across the board.
Love all y'all.

Big news. I've been writing for the Meade County Messenger. Who would have thought that #printjournalism would still be a thing in 2025?

Yay local interest/local sports.

The Rays got some Morel Support!

Wow!

Women's Lacrosse is one of the more fun sports I've encountered. I'm learning it quickly - eventually, I hope I'm half as good at LAX as I am at soccer.

I didn't think Rickey used pronouns at all. I thought he said "Rickey is the greatest [base stealer] of all time."

Last night's lacrosse match was the opposite of "domination but winning 1-0" it was "holy shit this game is closer htan the score board shows" The difference goal keeping made.

Had to send a player off. Some slashing and some cross checking and the tempers were a-flaring.

Mail day! The Pfaadts are from eBay and the post cards are from @metsuniverse.bsky.social thanks to @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social Sunday give away!

That's not a photograph of Louisville Slugger Field...

That sucks. If you want your heart broken by baseball, there's room with the rest of the Wrigley Faithful.

Fly. The. W.

My card from home. I really need to find a card design I like better.

what happeend at the dodgers game?

Kept score book tonight.

I’m out of practice.

Alas no. I met him in my youth as a Boy Scout touring the capital and sitting at congress. Somewhere there’s an 8x10 of me shaking his hand. It’s kinda gross tbh

the cubs could wear these electric blue kits for the rest of the season, and into forever and I wouldn't be mad.

I referee HS sports. I carry my own travel coffee cup for that reason right there.

the rain took my tournament pay this weekend by causing us to cancel a 9 game schedule.

I've got some cards and stuff on my ebay store and other misc stuff. Take a look, see if thre's anything you might need/want on there. I've a 450 budget shortfall to make up for.

Dad was a high school umpire. Can confirm

This bullpen is gonna be the death of me.

Surely there's some dudes in fucking AAA or AA or hell independent ball that can throw fucking strikes, right?

Nominally I'm a cubs fan, but my fandom is waning with the current leadership.

My name is Dave, and I'm a kit snob.

The Sedona Red jerseys with teal nameplates and front numbers and black team names and back numbers look terrible.

Do better Arizona.

oh yes please!

you got it

I'll have a mixture of 4 non-sport tobacco cards to give away today. Not at home, so no photos (I really need to prepwork better)

As always looking for your unwanted autographed cards, Brandon Pfaadt, and weird junkwax era brandings (like Hostess or Purina etc)
