Taking off with a field mouse. … I was ill-prepared for the rapid accent. I saw him, and before I could bring my camera to bear, and before I could focus, he took off. Oh well, Next Time!

Spafittergie January 12, 2020 at 11:22PM

A small joke that no one alive, except me, will get. … I really do not know what this is, but I liked it. …

Now, about "Spafittergie"
My younger brother and I were playing our version of softball that consisted of two teams of one person each. … There was only two bases, plus Home plate. One person would pitch to the other, and if you got a hit you had to run all the way home, while the other person chased the ball. If the Pitcher/Fielder/Defense got to home plate before you, the hitter, got to home, you were out. … I was the hitter, and my brother was the other team. I got a hit, and started running the bases, but it was short, and my brother got to the ball, and easily pinned me on second base. He was gloating and walked closer and closer to me with his big shit-eating-grin on his face. As he got closer, really close, he reached out to tag me out, adding to his gloat. … I quickly stretched out my fingers, and my arms, reaching towards his face. 😉 SPAFITTERIGIE! I shouted in his face. He was frozen in time, and I ran around him and touched Home plate! Score!

Now, You can remember it too.

Callie (Calliope) had been running on Fiesta Island, and then she looked up and came a running. This angle is shot with my long lens, across most of the width of Fiesta Island, on past the unseen Pacific Passage of Mission Bay, and right at The San Diego Mission Bay Resort.
