Eating Out (Part One)

1. Friday evening C and I split a burger and fries at Moxie Burger.

2. Then we drove out to Avalon for Jeni's Ice Cream. Avalon is getting to be like any other shopping mall - except since it is open air, cars ride up and down the main drag blaring loud music. Get off my lawn.

3. Saturday AM golf. Then McDonalds and a thrift store, then met up in Kennesaw to complete a bobblehead trade. RaceTrac for a drink. Then drove C several places around East Cobb. Trimmed the hedges way back, something sorely needed. Then another bobblehead meetup on Cobb Parkway.

4. At 5 pm we headed back to Avalon with friends Lee and Nancy for supper at Superica. Lee and I ordered one of Ford Fry's favorites: the burgerista. Less Mexican than I remembered. Plus the huge wedges were more potato and less fries. The hostess complimented me on my casual shirt, with spaceships from the show Firefly.

Is NIL evening the college football playing field, or creating chaos? When the transfer portal changed college sports, Coach K retired. Will NIL drive Nick Saban into retirement?

About Tom Brady's golf video. I need to remember to record his match with the other QB's.

STAN MUSIAL  [SABR Bio] never played for a New York team, but hit 86 home runs there. Ans. He played 22 years with STL. Among the 475 career HR Musial hit, 49 came at the Polo Grounds, and 37 at Ebbets Field. He once lost a 40th home run on account of rain. In 1948, he finished with 39 home runs; however, no verification of this can be found. Read more here. Retrosheet verifies a HR he lost in 1951 as explained here. There is a stadium named for him in Europe. The field in Kutno, Poland is Stan Musial Stadium. It was dedicated in 2000. Musial's only big league pitching appearance took place on 28‑Sep‑1952, the final regular season game of 1952.  With his .336 safely leading the league, he was called in to pitch to a single batter in the first inning - the Cubs' Frank Baumholtz, runner-up in the NL batting race, a righthanded batter. Starter Harvey Haddix moved to right field, and Hal Rice covered center while Musial pitched. After Baumholtz reached on an error, Haddix returned to the mound for the duration. Later in retirement, Baumholtz recalled that the play was a hot smash to 3rd base that should have been a hit.

Are politicians ever going to serve their constituency, tax-paying US citizens?

Treason is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Did members of a previous administration work to undermine their successors, negotiating with Iran?
