Journey to Tampa, FL

I travelled from Daytona to Tampa on Friday afternoon to attend the National Street Rod SE Nationals which has been an annual event for me since 1998. I've included a few pictures of the cars that were there. After I arrived I turned on the local news and they were talking about the ALCS baseball game between the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and the Boston Red sox. I decided to check on the hotel computer to see if any tickets were available and I really got lucky. I ended up sitting about 20 rows up on the left side of home plate. I could easily hear the ball hit the catcher's mitt. The Devil Ray's home has a domed roof similar to the Carrier Dome at Syracuse University. Here is the wikipedia link which explains more than I ever could after watching my first game there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropicana_Field. Sorry I forgot to take my camera with me. I will be returning next weekend for the Syracuse / USF football game in Buccaneer Stadium with Jay Adcook. Send me some information or just let me know what you have been up to over the summer and into the fall. I will post it for you and everyone can see what others have been doing. Thanks.

Mr. Petty

A little late getting this on the blog but when I was back in Fayetteville in September, I stopped at Hullar's Coffee Shop and I ran into Mr. Petty, our earth science teacher at Wellwood. He has had the opportunity to travel abroad and has very much enjoyed his retirement years. He has his garden he tends to albeit who can forget those short growing seasons of central New York. Send me some info to post in your blog here. Thanks. KR
