Blog followers know that my last post of our trips I devote to interesting pictures I have taken along the way. You might also recall that in Travels With Charlie Part 1 I devoted a post to interesting questions that Charlie asked during the trip. This post will show both.
The Target Field (Minneapolis) scoreboard filled us in on some crucial information about the players on both teams. Here are a few tidbits.
Now for Charlie’s questions:
As you might know that a common statistic in baseball is how fast a pitch is thrown. Charlie asked: “In Canada do they report the speed of the pitch in MPH or KmPH?”
“If I punched the dashboard really hard would it deploy the airbag?”
“Do you get hit more by rain if you’re running or walking?”
“You know what would be weird? Having Christmas in the summer. Seeing Santa in a bathing suit would be weird. Christmas comes during the summer in Australia”
“Why do people say bless you when they sneeze?”
“How come most major countries have their own language (Italian in Italy, Russian in Russia, Japanese in Japan, etc.) but we speak English. I think we should have a language called American.”
“What’s the first palindrome that comes to mind?” I answered “A man a plan a canal, Panama.” I then asked what did he think of: “racecar”
“Grandpa who do think came first the Reds or the Twins because they have identical C’s”. To explain further see the Twins logo and the Reds logo below.
“Why does TSA have stupid rules like having an old man like you take off his sandals before going through security?” Okay, okay, that was my question not Charlie’s.
Finally this picture of a fan in Toronto prompted a question. As you can see he is wearing a Houston Astros jersey but with the name of their former player George Springer on the back. Springer now plays for the Blue Jays.
Another trip has been completed and we are going home to rest. Travel is so exhausting. I don’t think I have enough energy to retire. I better keep working so I can get some rest.
And finally, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. If that is the case, the picture below tells you why all the work involved in putting this trip together was worth it.
See you soon, when we next travel to ………….
