That is awesome.

Drove to spring training once from PA. It was a long drive split amongst 5 of us; I can’t imagine doing it solo. Longest I’ve driven on my own was Maine, which was supposed to be 11 hours but ended up being at least 13 because … Connecticut.

The ‘Pigs game 😜

My condolences. One of my least-favorite driving places.

Things you don’t expect to learn at a baseball game - there’s a raspberry shortage.

Alec Bohm at bat.

Update. Bohmer’s at bat and it’s 1-0 Piggies, courtesy of a Rojas sac

Coca Cola park in Allentown. Justin Crawford is on third, Rojas is at bat and Bohm is in the on-deck circle.

Lead off triple from Crawford and Bohmer on deck. It’s a great day for some baseball ⚾️

Sometimes, but rarely. On the few times I have, there’s been nothing worthwhile there (not even as a block-finder).

Oh no. I am so sorry. How devastating. They leave such a gaping whole in our hearts, lives and souls.

No way. Yikes.

The NYT mini puzzle today with a clue that reads “Fictional sports icon with a statue by the Philadelphia Museum of Art”. The answer is filled in. So I’ve spoiled this for the sighted, but not the sight-impaired.

Oh, come on NYT, I know it’s Philadelphia, get your facts straight. It’s no longer by the art museum; it’s outside the hockey arena.🙄

I had to save the measurements in my phone because I kept getting the wrong ones. I still need to check it, and I’ve lived in this house for 16 years. 😑

I was just thinking of you, as I saw an nhl post on insta of the players and their pets. More than I expected had cats! (Seemed to be mostly Eastern Europeans).

Thank you Gregg Murphy for this treasure. Kruk at the end 😆

Mine’s a baseball mitt 🙂

Ugh. *both. Although it is also a bother.

I feel like #sciencesky can help with this. Is #botanysky a thing?

All hail the ‘situational awareness’ gang! 🙌

This has got to be one of Dante’s circles of hell…

People’s lack of situational awareness never ceases to bother me annoy and amaze me.

Ours here is Pond Lehocky, which always makes me think of pond hockey.

Wow. I’m amazed he’s even on here.

Oh goodness. Hugs to you both.

Shot of Aaron Nola pitching to Garrett Stubbs in the top of the second inning against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (aka the baby Yankees) at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown, PA. It is 75° and slightly hazy due to wildfire smoke.

Big league battery down here in triple A! Let’s go Piggies! 🐷

Oh no. This must be so difficult. Prayers they figure it out and she’s on the mend soon.

No, and I should have, as old English was one of my uni courses. My only defense is that was a v long time ago 😬

Oh my. Now I’m regretting bringing home apricots instead of plums from my CSA farm stand today. Yum!

I mean, I have left Pigs games before they were over - usually having to with rain and/or freezing temps and an insurmountable deficit.
