It was actually kind of fun. Despite the heat. Did I mention there are now TWO houses for sale next door? You would have had a good time. It was actually kind of fun. Despite the heat.

I wish I could have been there. I miss you all so much. I knew there were really good reasons I needed to move to Little Rock and you just reminded me of them all. I wish I could have been there.

Ray Winder... where I spent too many hours in my youth ignoring good baseball and watching Dynamite Lady get blow'd up. I actually went one night with my stepdad to Clunker Car night... hoping... hoping... because he had a brother that could fix ANYTHING. But it's all going away. The new park is *supposed* to open next year (but if it's anything like what we've come to expect from the Greater Metro Area gridlock, it won't) and with it will come all sorts of neat vendors, selling whatever they can pay the franchise on to sell at the stadium. Like Alltel Arena, you might end up with such a strange combination as Sims BBQ, Tombstone Pizza, and Michelob. Let's just hope TPTB choose to understand common sense and not price water at $3 a bottle on $1 beer night. The new ballpark will take all sorts of currency and credit, and have big brightly lit colorful scoreboards and piped-in rock music and deluxe skyboxes... but it'll lack that one good old quality you'd never be able to replicate from Ray Winder Field... ... the unmistakable summer smell of the Little Rock Zoo.
