Dreary snowy afternoon
Wooded Snowfall
Tiger Stadium
Oh, how I wish I had gone to Tiger Stadium
One of the last of its kind
Opened the same day as Fenway
Back in 1912
Had an open invitation and put it off
Said, “Maybe next year.”
The next years all ran out
Now I can only envision
Ah, the places of yesterday
The hallowed grounds
The cathedrals
Places named Ebbets, Crosley, and Sportsman’s
The horseshoe where Willie made that amazing catch
Where Bobby hit the Shot Heard ‘Round the World
The spite fences at Shibe
Where the Tall Tactician sported a business suit
The real Yankee Stadium
Where Babe rewrote the sport
Lou retired Wally Pipp
And Mantle and Maris in the Summer of ’61
Daytime baseball on a Tuesday
Sun drenched in the bleachers
Memories of Grandpa and Dad
Splurging for a hot dog
Fenway and Wrigley still exist
and are going strong today
Thank God for that
Singlehandedly responsible for linking the present to the past
Back to when our national pastime mattered to everyone
And make no mistake about it…….
Baseball is indeed our national pastime

Nothing More Than A Walk in the Woods
Deer season has ended. I’m tired and could stand to catch up on some things around the house, say nothing about a few extra hours of sleep. Technically, I don’t need to be in the woods again until May 1, the spring turkey hunting opener. Deer season for me doesn’t start again until the middle of November. However, anyone who knows me understands that staying away will not be possible.
Alas, Dad and I went to the woods this past weekend. I had a few trail cameras wanted to check, as well as look for places to hang up others. One can learn an awful lot by getting out there immediately after the season. For starters, while the hunters have all but disappeared, the deer are still on high alert and are utilizing their well-hidden deer trails and bedding areas. Finding such areas gives me a leg up on planning for next year. If the secrets worked well for the deer this year, they’ll fall back on them again next season.
In addition, the snow has not yet forced the deer to go completely into their yarding mode. In fact, the ground was bare when I walked into the woods and the snow began to fall about an hour into my adventure. They will be feeding in normal places like the oaks, fields, and simple browsing sites. While the tracks they put down will mostly be from nighttime feeding adventures, it will give us an idea of what is out there.
I checked my cameras and did not see anything that knocked my socks off. A few does have been feeding on a still-active stand of oaks where I have one camera set. It is nice to see that they feel comfortable enough to head there in the daylight. If these trees have acorns next year, this would be a nice spot to potentially hang a tree stand.
I didn’t get any pictures of bucks this week, including the big guy that is in the area. While disappointing, I know they are around. More importantly, I was able to spend a couple of hours with my dad, doing what we love doing the most. With the way the world is today, sometimes the little things like a quiet outing in the wilderness is all it takes to refuel the strength it’s going to take to make it through another week. Never underestimate the significance of a simple walk in the woods.

The Disappearance of Pamela Faith Roach
EARLY LIFE:
Pamela Faith Roach, who went by her middle name, was born on June 9, 1992. She lived in Walhalla, Oconee County, South Carolina, a small town in the Blue Mountain foothills region with just over 4,200 residents.
When Faith was 11 years old, she and a friend were riding a go-kart on a dirt road when they were struck by a car. Her friend died, but Faith survived, suffering a shattered leg, a traumatic brain injury and other wounds. She was hospitalized on life support and in a coma, and had to undergo surgery to place a metal rod in her leg. She developed a limp as she outgrew the metal rod, leading her to be bullied by others at school.
According to her mother, Cindy Clark Hanvey, the accident changed Faith, turning her from a quiet, shy girl into someone who was outspoken and attention-seeking.
