Blog Eight: Atlanta, this time
Tomorrow I'm off to Atlanta. Might catch a Braves game while I'm in town.
That would be my eighth ballpark; I've seen games in SkyDome (Toronto), New Comiskey (Chicago), the Coliseum (Oakland), Pacific Bell (San Francisco) and Angels Stadium (Anaheim) plus tow stadia they don't use anymore, Exhibition Stadium in Toronto and Olympic Stadium in Montreal.
Actually, I went to the Jays game with Mrs. RickJay and Bridget Jones today. SkyDome is now Rogers Centre, the main differences being that they replaced the Astroturf with "Field Turf" and put in a passel of new scoreboards.
The new scoreboards were a huge improvement; a new Jumbotron, two big out of town scoreboards built smack into the outfield fences, and ribbon scoreboards. It makes the place brighter and less concrete-esque. The turf was less of an improvement than it could have been. It does look better, but it's still obviously not grass, and they retained the old "just cut out the area around the bases" look, where there's four patches of dirt, instead of having dirt between the bases like a real ball diamond. Overall it's a big improvement, though. Hopefully they can fix the food next. Oh, and they beat the Red Sox.
I hate the Red Sox. Their fans are loathsome scum.
Bridget Jones had a second date with Simcoe Boy. Apparently Simcoe Boy has about forty eight piercings, which is bad (in the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. RickJay; inexplicably, Bridget Jones likes that crap) but he likes Scrabble, which is good. So he might turn out okay, though I doubt he looks like the guy from "Bridget Jones's Diary."
Meanwhile, TCB has given me her MP3 player to fix. I reloaded the BIOS. I have been listening to it for two hours and it's worked perfectly. Mission accomplished. Oh, and CB, I've been listening to it using the same battery for two hours and it shows as being full of juice.
So my next rap at ya might be from Atlanta.

Yeah, well, don't assume it's fixed. Like I told you, sometimes it works fine. But other times, it doesn't work at all.
I wouldn't mind getting a copy of the receipt just in case.
But thanks for working on it!
