Well that's a drag...

I checked into the Leafs presale on preseason games and the ticket
prices are the same as regular season games. For an unobstructed view,
I'd have to pay $42 per seat to watch a mixed lineup of prospects and
regulars play against a similar mix of another team... brutal.

BASEBALL!

Yesterday Matt and I went to a good ol' fashioned Ball Game at the
Rogers SkyDome... Toronto vs NYY. I haven't been a fan of baseball for
a number of years now... mostly since the strike with a short fling
about 10 years ago.

At any rate, we had the second best nosebleed seats available, good
view. The Jay's pitcher was great to watch, with 12 strikeouts in his 5
innings of work. It was great to be part of the crowd clapping when he
had 2 strikes on a guy and he delivered K's. Add a bench clearing
social gathering in the infield, 2 ejections, a fan on the field tackled
by security and police and a couple dingers and you've got a pretty fun
evening.

BASEBALL!

Observation

I'm sitting here in acton eating lunch at subway when a black pickup truck pulls up and parks in the no parking zone. 15 feet away are about 6 empty parking spots. He rushes in, leaving an 8 year old by in the truck and proceeds to buy a sub, pay and leave... It really irritates me when people park in no parking zones to go into a store. I think that they must be so important that the simple parking rules don't apply and their time is so much more valuable than mine. Probably irrelevant was the fact that the truck had michigan plates, but that reflects poorly on some of my good friends from michigan... Then he pulled into one of those empty spots to turn around and leave... Who knows, this could be some royalty I've never heard of and I should be grateful to have experienced their presence... Who knows... Turd, park in a spot like everyone else.

Slurpee report

Last night I thoroughly enjoyed a gforce blue mix with pepsi from the bridge st location in waterloo. Nice way to soothe my body after a 6-2 ball hockey loss...

Half hearted post like brouwer

Hey, I haven't forgot my blog, it's just that I haven't been in striking range of a slurpee in a while. I had a few in Guelph (spit) but didn't want my report to actually entice anyone to venture into the preview of hell to my east... Guelph sucks...
