Who'd Have Thunk It?

Not much to report from the State College area except this: We were not far from Penn State yesterday when we passed by a lunchtime softball game being played by young Amish schoolchildren in straw hats. We cruised by the school today to catch another look at the children were in class. We discovered something amazing though. While you'd expect the Amish to perhaps make their own wooden bats, they actually use aluminum! That's right. They'd left a selection of them next to their homemade batting cage near the road and we got a good look. Who'd have thunk it?

We're all sunburned from walking around campus and beautiful downtown State College on a glorious day that feels more like mid-summer than April. The kids bought posters and had them autographed by former PSU quarterback Michael Robinson, now of the 49ers. They were pretty psyched.

Tonight we're off to a Penn State-Indiana baseball game.

Tomorrow I hope to have a little input on the first day of Dartmouth hitting if any of my spies were there.
