Spring fever.

Addendum:

A great day for spring fever.

Sunny, clear skies, 71 Fahrenheits high temperature, soft breeze, long walk, blossoming flowers, and a Phillies game on the telly vision (Good Guys 4, Bad Guys 2, Phillies four games up).

Don’t get much Phillies here, so I take what I can get.

The local rag’s baseball horizon stops with Washington and Baltimore and the sports section is full of NASCAR and Redskins. It is NASCAR season, but it’s hardly Redskins season.

All the NASCAR makes me miss the Inky, where NASCAR was a thing for pages six and seven. Even back when my idea of a good time was driving fast and I subscribed to Motor Trend and Sports Car Graphic (SCG is long deceased and Motor Trend has become a tool of the auto industry), I never cared for races which involved only left turns–seems kind of one-dimensional to me.

Many years ago, I rooted for the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Redskins, back when when men were men and ships were wood, when Earl Weaver was the manager of the Orioles and the owner of the Redskins (R. I. P. Jack Kent Cooke–you were a class act) knew something about football.

Normal abnormality resumes tomorrow.
