This Is Biden’s Baseball Boycott

*** begin quote ***

You can start by choosing to attend a Minor League Baseball game… preferably a team not affiliated with an MLB franchise. Or, perhaps, a college baseball game. Even better, go rediscover the love of the game by patronizing your local Little League. And take the money you would have spent on tickets, parking, food, beer, and souvenirs and donate it all to the kids who still understand the game is about joy and love and competition and working together as a team. 

Even better, those kids stand for the national anthem before the game, they don’t have agents and they’re thrilled to play for the rich reward of a snack bag handed out by alternating parents after every game. It’s in their contract. 

*** end quote ***

Talk is cheap; especially when the action requested is so easy and fun!

See you at Little League.

IDEA: Cemetery mapping drone

Saturday, May 31, 2014

I’m not a big fan of cemeteries. 

In the last year, I have been to two.

Both times, fining a specific grave was hard and frustrating.

Even the “find a grave” website will only tell you that a grave exists, not exactly where it is.

If I was younger, then I’d develop a drone that would survey a grave year and establish a directory of locations.

Sounds like a fascinating use of technology to solve a problem. 

Now I am sure that most people visiting a cemetery know where they are going.

BUT, not everyone. 

In my last visit, I went at the behest of a far away son who wanted a flag on his Dad’s grave. But he could only describe the location as “the back left corner on the right side of the road”. I looked but couldn’t find it.

So I placed it on a Private’s grave who didn’t have a flag.

Hope that was “good enough”.

I’ll go back when the office is open and get the location. 

Argh!
