@Carissimi Yes! I met three really nice people and that, plus the amazing prize, made this trip worth it.

I'd actually been thinking of buying a baseball bat as a potential burglar weapon.

@greenmountaingal I often think these obstacles come along to test our resolve. It looks like you passed, and received a prize for your troubles. Good for you.

@Carissimi I felt as if my mother was passing on to me her strength and the will to defend myself against harm. Of course, it's a classy collector's bat; I can tell it would never want to attack a federal agent, nor would I; the purple bat and I are in total harmony.
