The New Park

There is a new park across S. Waterway from the Santini abode. It's new since last January and includes two brand new tennis courts and access to the waterway for canoe and kayak launching. It is a great addition to the neighborhood and the entrance is pictured below. There was an old guy fishing from the dock this afternoon and said that he has caught Red Snapper from there. He was empty handed when I encountered him, and was willing to pass the time of day with another retired geezerish fellow.



We went to visit the TB Rays spring training camp this morning. They had batting practice and engaged in some catcher work on nabbing base stealers while we watched. It was a chilly day, but there were quite a number of snowbirds watching the boys of early spring get ready for April. I only recognize the very recognizable Don Maddon, the portly manager, because the other guys wore their jackets and they were all young and trim. Barry Bonds was not in attendance. Nor was Barry Obama.
