Not Much Better

The game between the KC Royals and Chicago Cubs yesterday wasn't much better than the previous nights' donnybrook. Last night, the Cubs won 6-5 and there were 18 hits and 12 pitchers used. The game was a bit faster than the night before and lasted only 2:57. We did fine with balancing our inventory to sales, but I got very frustrated yesterday with more procedural changes that continue to make our jobs more difficult. From what we have gathered in conversations with other returning workers, there will be a huge rejection factor next year when they come looking for "experienced" workers. The changes that have been made this year are geared toward making management's job easier while ignoring the employee. It appears that they will pay a heavy price for those decisions next year. Our final game of our work week is today with a game between the Texas Rangers and Chicago White Sox.

Following last night's game, we took a walk over to the Bill Luke Bass Days event being held at the Lake. We were both looking forward to getting an onion burger - our favorite meal at the fairs - so we walked around looking for a burger stand that might satisfy our craving. We took these shots of the activities, starting with the rides:

It was a nice, clear night with a full moon. Although a bit windy, there was lots of activity and many folks were walking around the grounds:

We found a burger stand and saw that we could get one with grilled onions, so we bought one to take home to eat. They were not worth the $18 we spent to try them, but as hungry as we were, they satisfied our appetite. They had live music again last night but we both crashed early and fell asleep without a problem.

Our main task following today's game is to prepare the fifth wheel for the trip to Surprise tomorrow. We will take it in for the slideout repair (hopefully) and maybe have a couple of other nagging problems fixed. We'll see how that goes...
