news is new, chris.

news is new.

the past is a grotesque animal.

we stood on the patio yesterday and watched a grey whale slowly glide by..after that we picked black berries to make jam

randy myers used to chuck frozen blackberries into the sound in the offseason

captains log:

there was a guy on the putting green today wearing a maga hat..the restaurant/bar has an advertising sign outiside..it has the letters that someone puts up there and it said" free delvrey" the L and the V were right next to each other so i know they didn't miss putting an I in there..i took a picture of it

i'm reading every one of doug's posts in this thread in the voice of ren from ren & stimpy

or the guy from deep thoughts.

yeah, i like the second one better.

i look forward to more posts from doug, and if i'm being honest...i hope it morphs into a Funny Farm situation for him, where he gets to know the townsfolk all too well.

funny you should mention that...i ran into the neighbors today that we met last time we were here...they're around our age and quite nice..he's from london and she's a local...i was bringing in the trash can and they were driving up their driveway and stopped for a chat..they were headed down to seattle for the night to t-mobile park..home of the mariners..although they were not going to a mariners game...tonight the stadium is for motley crew, def leppard, joan jett and poison...they invited themselves over for drinks this weekend while our friends are here and they promised me a few bags of salt for when the snow comes...

i'm always leary of people who invite themselves over.

i bet he was thinking about blackberries when he threw this.

he's throwing a change up there..check out that funky wrist..anyway, why did the Mets trade randy meyers?
mets officials, in fact, told myers when they traded him to the cincinnati reds following the 1989 season -- in a deal that sent fellow closer john franco to NY -- that they were afraid he was going to injure himself or wear himself out in the weight room...go broncos

hitting bed early tonight..probably just before 9pm..on country time now..have some choring to do in the morning before people arrive for the weekend..most likely listen to andy on headspace to fall asleep..
