Salt Springs State Park, PA

I had a nice trip to visit my friends Art & Bernadette over the Memorial Day Weekend. It's great to find a new place to explore. Just south of the NY state border is a picturesque little park in PA. The weather was great the entire weekend, and we went over the various trails. Unfortunately the llamas were out of sight, but I'm told they are really there somewhere. The Texas Roadhouse was delicious as usual, and now I know about 5 Guys hamburgers, although not great for those trying to lose weight. We also took in a B-Mets game. Here's hoping that Ypsilanti gets a baseball team after this year's experiment with the Midwest Sliders.

Out at the old Ballgame

We caught the Binghamton Mets over the Memorial Day weekend. It was a beautiful day at the ballpark, although the results of the game were not so hot for the hometown boys. Extremely poor base running doomed the Mets to simply make it exciting at the end. Twice players got thrown out at home in early innings, as the players looked like they did not quite understand that running fast is often highly desirable in baseball when someone is trying to throw you out. Another guy was thrown out at first because he didn't even try to run to the base despite having hit a ball the third baseman couldn't field properly. At the end with two on and two outs, a B-Met lined out to center field that was just a hair from being an extra base hit. But the beer and peanuts were great. And we stayed for the fireworks afterward. The funny blue creature is "Ballwinkle". I know... don't ask.
