Hell of a ball player. Crushes with a bat, too. She had the skills to play Div. 1 college ball, and had interest from college coaches, but decided to hang it up after her last summer of 18U travel ball. Being a college athlete wasn't the lifestyle she wanted, and that was the right choice for her. Some kids are wired for the dedication, determination, and regimentation that is necessary to be an athlete at that level. My kid isn't. I'm glad we figured that out before she went that direction and ended up miserable (I know some that did). I sure miss watching her play, however.

Dagnabbit, I was in the middle of moving the trailer hitch from minivan#1 to minivan #2 but got rained out. Maybe if I rearrange the garage for a couple of hours I can back the van into the garage to complete the install...

There are always a few road kill skunks on my country road routes. Can make for a very unpleasant mile or so until the stink dissipates.

More like 50.
According to the atomic clock website, my computer clock is only 0.25 seconds slow.
I battled more wind today than anyone else, probably.
I've never seen one. I've only seen a coyote around here once (in recent memory).

Palindrome, like, "Madam, I'm Adam", or "Bob".
