Turns out the store manager is on his way to the National and just about anything I would be interested in was taken with him for the show. I therefore did not get anything at the card shop except for some free schedules of the Jacksonville Suns and Jacksonville Sharks Arena Football. Larry also had some free passes to exchange for free tickets to the Jacksonville Suns v Biloxi AA baseball game for tonite. 
We left the card shop and headed to the ballpark. The Suns play next door to where the Jacksonville Jaguars play.
It rained most of the afternoon and the tarp never came off the field. There was also impressive lightening in the area. 
There were probably more employees than fans that showed up.
I did pick up a "First Game Certificate" but the game was rained out. Does the certificate count? A question that will be debated in baseball circles for years to come.
These statues are across the street from the stadium. They are to symbolize lights of peace for all the inhabited continents on earth. They were just starting to ligh up as we left. Originally there were 6 of them, but 1 had to be taken down. My question, which continent is longer supposed to be a beacon of peace???
The sports bar across the street was closed for some unknown reason. We headed to the Ocean and ate at a restaurant that we had excellent fish and chips.
A very relaxing day overall for me to rest up for this hectic week. I have now concluded a full 8 weeks on the road. The trip is scheduled to conclude in 16 more days. Will I survive this furious finish? Stay tuned.
If anyone makes any rude comments about the Jacksonville Jaguars, you will have to deal with me!

The ‘Talking Continents’ display is based on a desire to unite and complement the complex group of elements that make up the area. The seated figures are talking in colors. Their silent conversation is directed to us as a universal language of rhythms and colors and serves as a way to invite people to enjoy the area.”
ReplyDeleteOf course Mike brings up a great question "which continent is no longer a "beacon of peace"? I vote we should kick out Australia. I mean it is the smallest continent, kind of like how they kicked out the planet Pluto.
I too have been kicked out before. It's no fun, that's for sure. In fact, it's so bad, I wouldn't even wish that upon a Jag's fan.
Delete...although, ...there are a few politicians I wouldn't mind seeing get a boot. A good kick in the asshcan...or how about a nasty swipe from a Jaguar paw?
