It's gaaaaame day

This should be a very interesting day I think.  Red Sox at 3:00 (ish) which will be on satellite TV.  Patriots at 4:00 (ish) which will be on a national network.  With that said I guess we will be running between the front TV where we get satellite and the outside, or bedroom TV where we get "regular" TV but not satellite.  Yippee I will get to run off some of these extra calories (yeah right sure I will).

Before all the sporting events I might go wash some sheets and blankets at a laundromat - don't like to do sheets etc here in the coach.  Also need to get to Petco or Petsmart for some food for Sir.  We shall see what really gets done today tho!

The photo above reminded me of a commercial that used to, or maybe still is, be on TV for Southwest Airlines - one single cloud in a beautiful blue sky.
Mostly we have been doing as shown above - relaxing.  I think this is the best place we've been at for that - well maybe the one a month or so ago on the Mississippi River outside Memphis.  This one is better tho, I think, because of the trees that surround our site, our terrific site.
What is it about a campfire that is so darned relaxing?  There is a site across from us that starts a fire first thing in the morning and it goes all day and night - actually perhaps they don't start a new one everyday ... it may be the same fire that's been going since we've been here!  An odd thing around here is there is no place to buy fire wood other than a convenience store or grocery store.  Usually there are houses near campgrounds that sell it along the side of the road but not here.  I asked Mr. Ranger last night where to  buy it and he told me to just go in the woods and see if there's anything around!  It was sort of culture shock for me.  So that may be priority one today rather than laundry or dog food (sorry Sir).
Another thing around these parts - they are so so so into Friday night high school football and Saturday college football.  Well we don't follow either but we stopped yesterday at a local place that was in the full swing of college football.  If South Carolina scored the patrons got a jell shot - that has potential for trouble do you think?  Well the "mascot" for the team is a "gamecock" or is that the name of the team?  I have no clue but above is a lovely photo of yours truly wearing the gamecock hat!!!  Charming I'm sure.

When we started out on the bikes (yes, finally got them out) we were headed to a National Battlefield area a bit north of here.  Never made it tho - we stopped in York to wash the dusty, dirty bikes at a car wash and never proceeded any further north!  What is the point of making a plan?  Oh yeah the point is so we can change it!
