Eddie Bugs out on Nicole

With Nicole coming to Clearwater this past Thursday I bugged out for Crestview, Florida on Wednesday like I did this past September when Ian came to town.  Outside of a couple of trash cans tipped over and a few branches on the ground my place of residence survived.  But as you can see by the […]

Out by a Suspender

With what appears as the City of Clearwater cutting back on recreational softball games after this fall umpires appear to be doing the same.  The question was Thursday night at Eddie C.

Preparing for Ian’s Landfall

Well fans on Tuesday the 27th after a busy morning I bugged out about 12:25 PM and headed up US 19 for Crestview, Florida.  Yes, traffic on 19 was bad for the first two hours as I only moved north about 55-miles, but things were in and out for traffic until I got to I-10 […]

Are the Kids Safe?

This photo shows Field 2’s left field line at the Toronto Blue Jays Player Development Complex.  It shows a possibly protective net stretched down the area which is on the east side of the Garrison-Jones Elementary School playground.  The netting is supposed to keep batted balls from entering the children’s playground.  Of course, the baseball […]
