Moving Sucks, The Mrs. Hired Help To Move

[Slippy]

Yup, we've had it since the Tigers saved Detroit after the Black Blind Pig was raided.

I have to ask my Mom, but she and Dad took us to Detroit once as kids in the 60's. Dad loved cars. Loved them and Detroit was Motor City. They dragged us to museums and all around the city.

Mom and Dad both liked baseball and we took summer vacations and always hit a major or minor league game somewhere. "Thanks Mom and Dad"!

This trip, my goal was to see a Detroit Tigers game and we did, at old Tiger Stadium. Pretty sure Al Kaline was in the lineup. Mom has a Polaroid of us sitting behind a freakin' pilar watching the game. Probably in a box somewhere or thrown away by now.

While some of our members were enjoying an Uncle Sam vacation in SE Asia, I was wearing goofy short pants, riding around the US in my old man's Bonneville sitting in the backseat breathing his unfiltered Camel's, visiting ballpark's and staying in Howard Johnson's and roadside motels a week or 2 in the summer times.
Simpler times.

I spent a week in Detroit in '71 travelling with the family. I hear it's a shithole now, but back then it was a pretty robust industrial town where everyone had good jobs.

The old Tiger Stadium was freakin' awesome! I caught a game between my Minnesota Twins and the Tigers there in 1987. Even being stuck behind a pillar just added to experience. Now all the stadiums are just friggin' homo stadiums. At a lot of them, you have to go searching just to find normal "baseball" snacks (hotdogs, peanuts, Cracker Jack, etc.). Who the hell ever heard of eating sushi at a baseball game?!? (They have it at the Nationals park).

I won't even waste my time or money going to a MLB park anymore. Some of the minor league parks are still good. But even some of those are starting to turn woke now with shit snacks and stupid expensive tickets!

100% truth^^^

Inor, I'm "stuck" at 26 different ballparks in my life. My brother and I have had an ongoing contest who could visit the most MLB stadiums. A few years ago I bailed and decided I'm not wasting my time on this woke bull-shat.

We were asked by the neighbor if they could still use " The Path ". I have a steel cable 1' inside my property line so I can maintain the line, and trees and brush stacked. What part of staying on your own side don't they get.

I think some exchange of commodities was going on while I was astray the last year and a half

Sad isn't it? I remember those lazy sunny afternoons at Wrigley Field. We didn't care that the cubs sucked.
