More Baseball and Lots of Porsches

On Friday, Travis, Kathie and I saw our second baseball game. This time it was the Angels versus the Cubs, and the Cubs won 3-0. Here we are waiting to enter the park.


Whereas maybe 4,000 fans were at the White Sox versus Dodgers game at Camelback Farm stadium on Thursday, the Cubs park in Mesa was sold out, even setting a record with over 15,400 fans in attendance. It was another beautiful day. We'll be heading back for a couple more games there this next week with Dick and Rina.


This morning, I joined Dick in a breakfast meeting of devotees of old Porsches, mostly 356 models. Here is Dick with his beloved Ruby, a 356C. Riding in her is quite an experience.


Lots of mostly seventy-something guys and gals gathered to swap stories while walking around admiring each others' cars. I really enjoyed meeting many of them, learning a bit of the history of these cars, and seeing how beautiful and well cared for they were.


Being someone who loves green, I especially liked this one.


And this one also, in a blue-green color. There were lots of proud owners walking about! This region of the country is a haven for car collectors, because the very low humidity and absence of salt means that cars will last a long time.
