This past Sunday, I drove the four hours from Walla Walla to Hayden Lake for the Maniscalco/Neisner wedding. It was great to see so many people and share in a happy occasion.
On the drive, I had the fortune of listening to a Mariners game, a game in which they actually won... Anyways, on the way, I heard a radio commercial I'd heard before. It was advertising a restaurant chain called Pancakes-To-Go. I thought it had to be a joke. Who would ever come up with such a horrible idea...?!?!?! And in the commercial, it proceeded to discuss all the health risks of the company, right before a catchy slogan. I've since googled the restaurant and nothing comes up. Seriously. Try it. I used images, maps, all of the above. Nothing. I'm guessing it's a hoax. But I'd heard the ad before and since. Who would pay advertising money for a non-existent company?
As I said, the Mariners won the game. Third baseman Jose Lopez actually performed well. I'd been waiting for such a performance simply so that a team would want to trade for him. All the stars were seemingly aligned. Solid performance. And the Detroit Tigers just lost both their second and third basemen. Perfect. Well, maybe not. The next day, he gets injured, limiting his trade value. He'll probably still be a Mariner after the July 31 trade deadline, meaning one more underachieving Mariner who keeps his job...
On the bright side, the Walla Walla Sweets won tonight... and my buddy Craig even grabbed a foul ball... what a great sport!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEah.
