¶Time to add the salt! And time for my annual picture of expired patents on the bags of salt.

¶We haven’t made it to many Walleye games this year, which is too bad because they’ve had another great season. They’re in the conference finals now, but might be outmatched. We went to game two tonight, and they just didn’t have it. They’re down in the series 0-2. Hard to see them coming back from this with only one more game in Toledo and the rest of the series in Kansas City.

¶We bought tickets at the last minute, so we didn’t have great seats. We were stuck in the end section, which sort of reminded me of Block-O seats at Ohio Stadium, which I hated. Forget the audience participation, I just want to watch the game! These actually weren’t that bad compared to Block-O…this banner was really the only thing the fans had to do, and they rolled that out during a time out. Nothing like the constant up and down and shuffling of placards that comes with a seat in Block-O at Ohio Stadium.
