One more nugget from the recent travels, Bloomdale, Oh has a kick butt playground with old school teeter totters, those crazy animals on springs and swings which I managed to get queasy on. Plus, trains seem to be temporarily stopping next to the park due to the construction at North Baltimore’s intermodal. I even managed to catch a few cars with the old Chessie System cat. The visit was a throwback to younger days for sure.

Here’s the Google Street view for those curious.

School’n Time

I have a lesson for the person who tried to steal my hubcap while I was at work today.

Those four metal things in the middle are called lug nuts and they are used to hold other things together. They do a pretty damn good job wouldn’t you say?

Enjoy the dirty hands you dolt.  Test Monday.  Class dismissed!
