Louisiana
I say!
Here are some more snaps from Louisiana. What a nice place it is.
I was taken to a 'ball game'. This is a most confusing game, with incomprehensible rules. As far as I could make out, the bowler is allowed to throw the ball with a bent arm. I was almost evicted for shouting "No ball!", until this rule was explained to me, and I explained that I was a visitor. When a batsman is caught out, that is the end of his team's innings, not merely his own. There are more than two innings. A friendly local explained more of the rules, and it did appear to be a wonderful game - I imagine more so, when one understands what is happening. Not really a patch on cricket for excitement, though.
I also attended a race meeting.
After betting on the bay, here I am, counting my winnings.
It is frighteningly easy to buy guns in Louisiana.
The pool at my residence.

Baseball, America's past time, Racing and guns!
Wow, you have had some real experiences here in the US.
Did you swim a few laps in that pool, that would be a great way to cool down!
Great pictures.
Mingin! Did you buy a gun then? Did you get to shoot anyone with it? In baseball, are you allowed to throw the ball at the man? Now, that would be a game, much better than the creekit anyway! Hotboy
If the pitcher throws the ball and hits the batter, the batter gets to walk to first base!
:)
Lee Ann: Do you mean limp? Do they do that on purpose? Is there a penalty? Sounds more like it anyway! Hotboy
Hotboy, they are not supposed to hit the batter with the ball. That is why the batter gets a free base if he gets hit. Yes....it is most likely limping to first base..hahaha
