The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

A Trip to Miller Park, Milwaukee-- Part 1

Last Tuesday, a group of former teacher buddies and I went to Miller Park in Milwaukee for the Brewer-Padres game.

I haven't been there since its initial season when I had to go to see that retractable roof in action. That's quite a marvel, and they closed it at the end of every game that season. Stuck around for it, was awed, and then got caught in one really-big traffic jam while leaving. I wasn't the only one sticking around for that.

Huge traffic jam on I-94 which has a major road construction program going on this summer. I was told they were expanding from three lanes in both directions to six. At one place north of Racine, they have removed an overpass and it went from three, to two, to one lane. It took us 45 minutes to go 4 miles. Between that and the parking mess at Miller Park, we didn't get to our seats until near the end of the second inning.

At least the dadburn lane jumpers weren't able to creep up and jump in as all lanes were stopped.
