My final day of employment was today, after 35 years. Naval officer, paper mill engineer, landfill mgr, air quality regulator, air quality assoc EO, and ending as an air quality lobbyist. My assistant, who’s been with me for 12 years gave me a going away Tigers mug and bottle of rye.

Now that we’re talking about oil embargoes again, my old bumper stickers are back in vogue.

Anyone got a good passive headline for this to exonerate the driver of any wrongdoing? The speed limit in our neighborhood is 25mph and you’ll note that this happened right AT THE STOP SIGN!

Somehow this happened at a stop sign in a neighborhood with a 25mph speed limit.

First Tigers game if the post Skubal era, and it’s hot here in Sac! Doesn’t help that we rode our bikes here out from the burbs. Today, I’m sporting the Alan Trammell jersey.

Back for night 2 for the Tigers, and walked in with extended family of reliever Drew Anderson, from Reno! With @bevlikeabbs.bsky.social

Went to the left field beer garden for a bit, where you are not too far from Riley Greene.

Trying to break my in person Tigers losing streak, which is at 6 games. For the occasion I have a new Troy Melton jersey, and Bev has a McGonigle. It’s 103 degrees and Dan Dickerson is probably complaining about it!

Saw Lucero at a winery outside of Sacramento last night. Great show, and pretty bougie compared to the bars and basements of past shows I’ve been to.

In March, we have the Shamrock half/10k/5k on a Sat/Sun, and we start outside the ball field, and you finish inside the park running down the right field line. It’s pretty cool. Sometimes you get a bat.

Local running clubs got to run around the field before the Sacramento River Cats game tonight.

Joined up with Laz near the Capitol and walked him to the entrance to the Causeway, and said goodbye. 4 or 5 days left to get to the ocean. #LazCon

Through the industrial area of West Sac.

We walked by our running club’s pizza hangout. And ended the day at Folsom and 48th at the Vintage shop. We’re leaving him there on consignment.

Laz is on the scenic trip to Sacramento- not by the American River Parkway- that’s not straight enough. We’re taking the beautiful Folsom Blvd. #LazCon

You can just stand around with a Pliny the Elder beer, right on the left field line.

Sacramento A’s content- there are no bad seats, they’re cheap, and the A’s are in 1st place in the AL West. Locals should come to the games!

Started my Detroit Tigers game attendance in San Diego tonight, where they took the L. I haven’t seen a Tigers victory in person for 2 plus years now, but I have tix for at least 4 more games this year- 1 in SF, and 3 in Sac.
