I had to deal with potholes this weekend (literally and figuratively.) Both paid a toll on me this weekend:
Literally – I got a little bit lost driving to CitiField with my parents and my daughter. (They came up from Washington for the weekend.) There are two things I noticed about the neighborhood around the stadium: 1) There are a LOT of potholes. and 2) There are a LOT of junkyards and auto body shops. My car hit a number of potholes and ended up spending overnight at a local body shop.
Figuratively – CitiField allows people to send a message to the big board and people can see the message they texted. My parents and I all texted “AHMNODT HEARE FOR PRESIDENT”, but none of our texts were shown. “i ❤ nikki” was shown three times. I don’t know if the Mets have their own presidential candidate (for their sake, I hope it’s a better candidate than Bernie Madoff was as their financial advisor). I was also stopped from handing out campaign material after the game.
Getting my parents and daughter wasn’t too much of a problem because CitiField is near LaGuardia Airport and they were able to take a commuter flight home. Getting me home was a different story. I live nowhere near public transportation. My night was spent in Manhattan at the Crown Royale Plaza.
I picked up my car yesterday late in the afternoon and ended up going to another game. The Mets lost again, and that made my Nationals cap stick out like a sore thumb. (The Mets played the Colorado Rockies last night after playing my Nationals on Sunday.) It was after midnight when I finally arrived home.
