Rec leagues here.

And yes, Babe Ruth and Legion are dying. It’s sad to see.

We had a 15U game last night. Team from West Columbia came over to play one of our teams. They had kids that played school ball, our team had 1 kid that did. Final outcome, I had to call the game in the 5th with the visiting team batting with the bases loaded and no outs up 15-0

If you want to go to a petting zoo come down here, I'm sure we can find some sheep, pigs and cows for you to pet.

The cynic in me was very wrong! That stretch that normally takes me 45-50 minutes to get through was perfect. Did not even slow down. I just had to deal with the normal slowdown in the Epcot/Lake Buena Vista area. The trip that took me 3 hours last month, took me 2 hours today.

Sadly, there is no cheap junk wax any more. I would have to pay more to acquire any than what I was selling it for in February. The best I can figure it: the reasons are the What Not people and the breakers. I don't even think the graders are causing this.

Presumably that is either in your compound or your neighbors' compounds.
