For Sale $4895.00
Okay, Christmas has passed. Now it’s time for all the dads out there to return all those polka dot neckties and get something they really wanted — like a batting cage with radar or a yardage speed golf cage. If it’s a sport and speed and power are a factor, you can get a radar gun — in fact you can get a full kit complete batting cage and with score board — to record and display your batting achievements. Coaches, kick your little league training up a notch. Your batters will compete to see who can hit the fastest ball and improve their batting in the process.
Amoeba and I used to live in a condo on the other side of the island. One afternoon — in fact, the afternoon we were driving out of the complex for the last time — one of the security guards had a shiny new police radar gun. We thought the gun was probably a prop to get the folks who refused to obey the speed limit to slow down. Now I am not so certain. I see on the Radar Sports website that anyone can buy police issue radar guns for under $1500.00. Believe it or not, you can even get one of those radar trailers that the police put out in hazard areas to display driving speeds and remind us to slow down. Put that baby in your front yard to remind the neighbors there are children present.
Oooo! Same neighbors as up above! Their driveway borders our front yard. It’s a LONG driveway — but THEY think it’s the freeway! I’d just like to RENT one for a week or two!

Melli — would it make a difference or would they just ricochet off of it on the way by?
It amazes me, the gadgetry you can buy these days. At the mobile phone shop we saw a phone-looking thing that would scan UPC codes and all sorts of other things: apparently serious flea-market vendors and craftspeople with small businesses use them for sales, and it includes a calculator, telephone, internet access, everything. Hundreds of euros, and of course Himself wanted it, though he doesn’t need a single feature on it. LOL

Susan — I wondered who needed a scanner phone and why. I never wondered about who would want one. Men. Of course.

I asked Santa for a motorcycle and a BIG EAR (for snooping). He didn’t give me either.

If you had a big ear you could tune in better on the family across the court. At least
the mom wasn’t singing “Slap him [sic] down again, Pa.” Did they sing that back in
your day? They did mine. Google with a ‘her’ it an you’ll find my blog.

Jim — actually, I’d prefer not hearing the family across the street — or that song (I was the first commenter on it in your blog) — but thanks for the suggestion.
Considering that I once called the police on one of their own squad cars speeding while patrolling our neighborhood, I could see the merits of buying those things!
