I’m not in much of a political mood today because of the dose of summerlike weather we’re having and the fact we have a Shorebirds exhibition game tonight! Yes, I know the proper political thing to do would be to attend the County Council night meeting (one of our few quarterly opportunities) but after the last weekend I’m in the mood for something else. I’m going to be at Rick Pollitt’s budget meeting Thursday and see the wouldbe Governor Friday so I’ll be back on the political train then.
In speaking to Shorebirds GM Chris Bitters about tonight’s game he expressed the feeling that a crowd of 500 would be satisfactory and 1,000 would make him ecstatic. (That number is fairly typical for a midweek early-season game.) But with this nice weather I wouldn’t be surprised if we have more of an “average” crowd of 3,000 people. Chris is treating this like a regular game where most of the concessions will be operational, making it a nice “dry run” for the season with 10 days to fix up any problems they find.
So that what I came out here to write about. But then I found out what passes for news on some other local blog, a post noting that I have a series of ads for same-sex marriage books in the Amazon ad on my site. Since I don’t control that content or the content of the MSNBC ad it is what it is.
Anyway… Joe, feel free to go through my site to purchase those books if you wish to know more on the subject from these experts – my expertise is in marrying those of my opposite gender since that’s what I look at. Of course I’m glad you’re reading here to find out what’s going on around there parts politically since your so-called “news” coverage of these events has been lacking.
Just keep alienating the thoughtful bloggers and readers in town like you did with Julie – let’s see if your last ally among the local blogging community finally gets fed up with that garbage.
