“Florida DOT” plus “their own butts” plus “both hands” plus “a flashlight” — FAIL! EPIC FAIL!

Shots from the 2009 Greater Gainesville prejudging are up on the site.
As last year, promoter Brian Elliot put on a wonderful show, with special attention paid to the lighting and presentation.
Shots from the finals should be up in a couple of days. I’m just back from a quick trip to Cincinnati and, while I enjoyed it thoroughly, I’m *exhausted*. One more good night of sleep should help…
So I had packed a Reds hat, but when game time came I didn’t care at all for the way it looked on me. I knew it would be close to 50 degrees, and I’d need some head covering, but seeing no alternative I decided to buy a hat at the park, hoping I wouldn’t need to take out a second mortgage to do so.
Turns out that even the ballpark had some clearance items, and I was able to pick up a Reds hat with the name and number of Adam Dunn, a player who was traded away last year. It only cost $5 because, true to their namesake, they weren’t moving very fast.
(A little Redleg humor there… _very_ little.)
So that worked out well, and the Reds won, and I almost caught a T-shirt but left it for the couples in the row behind me, who squealed and giggled blithely.
And I tried goetta, and it was good. Very, very good.
I waft on a stream of coincidence
much as I float on a warm sea.
I’ve seen this performance so many times
I sail through my part
not knowing how I know my paths, my motivation, my gestalt
yet knowing I have hit my marks.
Synchronicity fills the air of the real
elbowing in, making it thin
showing me ripples, the gathering echoes,
long before whatever is meant to disturb the stillness
does.
Whether bad manners
or vivid imagination
or desperate portents
or merely reality’s dancing indulgence
is yet to be seen…
or if I have seen already, yet to be reassembled
reconnected
referenced
real.
It’s nearly impossible
to bring a man around
to your way of thinking
if he believes
that you haven’t heard *his*.
Last shots from the 2009 Florida Championships went up tonight– er, this morning.
Next up: the 2009 Greater Gainesville. Shouldn’t take *nearly* as long, a much smaller show but the shots turned out much better as well.
