Marcella Comes to Bat

Thanks to Marcella we have PE news!!

This was in the comments last night. Many people don't get around to "comments" so I'm reprinting this.

I was just in Joliet a few hours ago. There wasn't much at the Joliet Prison that we could see so we attempted to turn on the road (with all the security). As expected they asked us to turn around. However they allowed 3 or 4 trucks/cars out of the prison first. We followed them and ended up at what I believe was the Statesville prison. We continued acting like we knew where we were doing, and ended up on some set of a gas station. It was a very neat set (and we were definitely not supposed to be there). I attempted to inconspicuously snap some pics, and I will send Rod the best of them later.

After talking to Becky and hearing about the Lockport scene I'm thinking I may drive back there soon. Mapquest is saying it should only be 30 min.







Great photos Marcella - thanks - SOMEBODY cares!!! :-)

Lots of stuff going on here today. Appliance dude is coming to see why our refrig is leaking AGAIN! And got an email from our builder saying he is RIPPING up our driveway and pouring a new one Monday. No cars for a week in the garage.

The top of the cement is chipping and there are cracks so he is taking a mulligan and redoing the driveway. I GUESS it's a good thing.

So I was looking up how Egg Harbor got it's name in Door County. I had visions of Spanish egg boats having a war with natives and egg throwing followed my a great egg feast.

But - sadly I found it was slightly different.

Egg Harbor was named by Mr. Increase Claflin. He named it Egg Harbor because in the process of retreiving a horse shoe out of the harbor, he found a nest full of duck's eggs. Once called Hat Island, and also once called Horseshoe Bay.

BLAH!!!!

There is a golf course just south of Egg Harbor called . . . . . . something that I can not remember this early in the morning (Check back). I played a round a few years ago and here is a nice little par three hole.

It's only about 180 yards long and pretty straight. What could be so hard???

Once my knees stopped shaking and I found a ball I could lose I took a mighty swing with a 7 wood and put the ball 4 feet from the green. Feeling pretty cocky I then chipped the ball 4 feet and three putted! DAMN!!!

That's it - busy day today!
