Yep. It’s always fun being in the left field bleachers. They took a picture around the 3rd inning of everyone who got a beer out of it. We’re all big fans of Ian Happ. I didn’t get one of the beers, but they also do a huge pot luck on the last home game. Which is pretty awesome.
Bleacher Jeff is a good guy. They always are helping kids get a ball tossed to me after the warm up each inning. He’s there in the same seat every game.
My stepdaughter is 8. When she asks a question, my first response is usually “what do you think?” And then once she gives her thought process then we go through how to get the right answer. I don’t want to just give her answers, I want to give her tools to find the answers. And I want to make sure she at least tries first before she gets help.
I keep imagining the scene in Robin Hood Men in Tights where Sir Patrick Stewart says “henceforth all the toilets in this kingdom shall be known as … TRUMPS”
I mean, he didn’t harm anyone. So I’d say this is just an odd request/action. I don’t think there is a crime here. But fucking police just have to arrest because they don’t know any different.
I was reading a comment in a post today that was about becoming a regular at places was how to build community. The comment was from a disabled and moderately attractive (direct quote from the commenter) woman who said she avoided becoming a regular because people felt that they could take advantage of her if they knew her routine.
And it just made me sad. Nobody should have to go through that. Nobody should feel ostracized because they are afraid someone will abuse them.
I had, and for the most part still do, agree that it’s generally good to become a regular at a place. But I hadn’t thought of it from that woman’s perspective before and I respect and understand her decision.
