Although the motel promised on its web site and in an email that there was free shuttle service from the airport, it turns out that ends at 11 p.m. After our missing bag (mine) finally showed up early this morning, we hopped in a taxi and headed for the motel in nearby San Mateo with a guarantee from the driver that he knew where it was.
The bad news: He didn't know where it was. The good news: He had a Tom-Tom or some such thing. The scary news: He read the printed sheet we got from the motel as he drove down the road leaving the airport and then typed the address in on his GPS while going 60 mph down the road. It's not an exaggeration to say we weaved back and forth a bit while he fiddled with the tiny on-screen keyboard. All the while he was talking with someone on one of those cell phone thingies hanging from his ear. We couldn't understand a word he was saying but I think it translated to, "I have these East Coast tourists shaking in their shoes."
A quick link or two before we head out to get our vintage rental VW bus and begin (continue?) our adventure ...
Incoming running back Chris Hardy is the subject of a lengthy story in the Norman Transcript. Hardy, in Oklahoma to play in the 32nd Annual Sunbelt Baseball Classic, talks about his decision to play college football at Dartmouth and the chance that at some point he might play two sports in Hanover. He says:
"Obviously, at a school like Dartmouth, handling the academics and playing two sports, that's tough. That's going to be tough to do anywhere if you are a two-sport athlete. I'm going to see how it works out the first year, then go from there."
Speaking of two sports, Tennessee Titans utility player Casey Cramer's going to be playing another won in the "Jeff Fisher & Friends" Charity Softball Game according to this story that mentions the former Dartmouth star.
