“Red Sox owners buying Va. minor league team”

“Fenway Sports Group earlier this year bought a 50 percent stake in Roush Racing, one of the top NASCAR racing teams, renaming it Roush Fenway” Boston Herald 12/10/2007

What could be better than that?  Maybe after the Red Sox take over Southwest Virginia they could start an invasion of Southeast Asia.  Now that would be great since I’ll be here and not Roanoke.  But the Sox won’t be in Salem until 2009, so maybe they can work on Southeast Asia until then.  You listening Red Sox?  How would Fenway South sound for a new stadium name?  And it will be “you guys” instead of y’all, at least at the old ball park.  One could go on.  But one will be smart enough to stop.

Lots of Christmas decorations going up here.  Santa has parked a sleigh down on Waterfront Road.

USNS San Jose is the ship in the background.  It is a Naval Supply ship with 140 civilian workers and 40 Naval personnel. (Randal looked in up on the Internet.)

  Big Ship!!  Last time the US Navy had a ship here it was full of sailors who took over every restaurant and bar on the water front.  But it was nice to see all of those faces from home.

  It was one of those bright sunny days with lots of lovely cloud patterns. 

  I asked why this formerly all white dog was painted pink.  Answer, “She’s a lady!” 

Well, that explains it.  She is a “lady” dog so she gets painted pink!  She was just outside of a hair salon which goes a lot further to explain why her fur was painted at all. 

And so it goes as Linda Ellerbee would say.
