Ball Bearings legionnaires deployed all over the city, we had a healthy 24 Pax post on a relatively dry Wednesday morning, with hats, shirts and fresh cut grass for the kids….A rare celebrity sighting of FNG Edsel (John Sanford “Ford” Jordan), the greatest basketball player to ever graduate from Raleigh’s Jesse O. Sanderson High School.

- Enron deployed to test out the notion that he can make us all faster.
- Fun Delaware Fact Brought to You by FNG Blue Hen: there are 3 counties in Delaware. The southernmost, Sussex County, a typically agrarian community, is unique among the urban counties to the north. Hence, Sussex County is commonly referred to as “Lower, Slower” Delaware. Be in the know.
- Gnobby was sporting some Vintage Marine Corps combat gloves that Chesty Puller gave him.
- A first of two child small yellow shirts in play.
- Speaking of shirts, Chong Li wore only his shoulder tat.
- Seriously: Minnie has a bum ankle; we’re with you. We are also with you, Sir Nigel Fazio, who apparently hurt his back carrying the weight of the world on the road to being our very best.
- We are mere months from a very lean last winter where only the stalwarts held fast. Six months later? The relief column arrived and held. We have dozens more stalwarts in play, and it only grows. Tclaps.
