21 bridge

The Roberto Clemene bridge.

The Pirates lost by three. But there were 15 total runs. And 22 total
hits. And 4 or 5 home runs. So it was an exciting game.

Game 2

Free hat night!

Looks like the Bucks will lose tonight. But we got free hats. OH! We
just hit a home run. Only down three with 2 outs in bottom of the 9th.

Tomorows game... All you can eat at the concession stand. Yea, it's
awesome.

Farmers market

On the way home from Fallingwater, we stopped at a farmers market
along the side of the road.

Nabil got some veggies and we both got some homemade peanut butter.
The jar says it tastes great on toasted marshmellos and on hot dogs.
So, yea.

Fallingwater

Wow... This house was amazing! Built right into the side of a hill
over a waterfall.

The living room had steps that went right down to the river. So the
family could just walk down and put their feet onto the water, or fish.

The family that lived there (the Kaufmann family, a rich guy from
Pittsburgh) had a staff of servents... And the servents had a staff of
servents. Servents for servents.

Oh, and this was just a vacation home for the Kaufmanns.

Ft. Pitt Tunnel

On our way to Falling Water. A Frank Lloyd Wright house about an hour
outside Pittsburgh.

Hall of fame club

We decided to watch the final innings of the game in the Hall of Fame
club. It's a bar way out in right field open to all ticket holders.

That's Nabils friend Brent on the right. He's a KU grad and a 1998
grad of salina central. Meaning he and I ran in the same cross country
race our senior year. He was good. I was on C team.

But as you can see, he's a KU fan. We've done our smack talking,
baught each other a round, and had a good time.

Pirates down one going into the 9th. They had the bases loaded with no
outs last inning, but only got one run on a walk. Such is life with a
bad team.
