A couple of us here at the ‘ranch’ have started banging around the idea of a road trip to Arizona for spring training. It’s about 1100 miles – the drive through west Texas is boring as the dickens but you can really fly when the speed limit is 80. Heck, nobody does 80. I’m thinking it’ll take a couple of easy driving days.
I’ve never been on a golf road trip so I can see this one doing double duty – half baseball and half golf. There’s no shortage of good courses out there. What we’re not sure of if there will be a shortage of good baseball. You see, here in the Metroplex, we have the Rangers and last year they finished 75 and 89 – 19 games behind the Angels in the AL West. But, with each spring comes renewed hope. Maybe Josh Hamilton will continue on his tear.
Now, the touchy part. I suspect you can’t just announce something like ‘time for my nap, let’s close the blinds and turn off the TV. But, you can pretty much accomplish the same thing with one of these beauties.
Don’t leave home without one. This model even has ear muffs. They block out about 60 to 70 percent of background noise.
