With more and more
newspapers laying off and closing down every day, you'd think that they would be doing everything they could to keep subscribers happy and buying their papers. I just re-subscribed the other day to our nearest big city paper because I like to be able to roll my news up, tuck it under my arm and take it into whatever waiting room or just waiting situation I happen to be going to. I haven't gotten into reading the news online because I come away feeling like I might have missed something, did I hit every page? Now for my rant... many months ago we got a new delivery person. It seems like every time we have a substantial rain, I have a soggy paper. Sunday I went out to get my paper at 9am, I found it laying in the middle of the now dry driveway, where I have asked them NOT to throw it several times over the past few months, in an open plastic bag and soggy to the point of almost being pulp. I papered my living room...
I have called and also used their online system to ask that they NOT throw the paper on the drive. When it rains, my drive fills with water. When they put the newspaper in a knotted plastic bag and throw it on the drive it skids on the sand which tears holes in it just big enough to allow the bag to fill with water. All they need to do is toss it on my lawn beside my drive! I am really getting tired of this. I am not naming the paper now, but I might later.
Rant over, but I'm calling them first thing in the morning.
Her first position was catcher. They had her standing way back from the plate this game.
Batter UP! HIT!
Run!!! Unfortunately, she hit the ball straight to first and she was out.
Hamming for the camera again. Playing outfield.
Up to bat again.
This time she makes it to first base, barely, but safe.
On the way to home plate...
It's a run!
Now she's playing first. Get the ball, PK!
Up to bat, again.
Safe at first!
...on to second...
...run to third...
...touch the base, PK!
On to home and another run!
Game over... Good game for all!
This beautiful little guy had perched on the fence to watch the warm up but flew away before the game started. I don't recall seeing Baltimore Orioles around her up until a few years ago. Maybe it's just that we're getting trees big enough on our side of town now.
They're STILL throwing the paper on the drive!!!! Fortunately it hadn't rained enough to fill up the drive this day.
