We’re finally moved. Not quite settled yet, but at least the stuff is at the right address. I didn’t notice it last year, but there were an incredible number of overloaded rental trucks, SUVs, and pickup trucks plying the streets of Columbia this weekend. You’re probably used to it, but this was new for me. Some of these vehicles looked like the Clampett’s truck from The Beverly Hillbillies.
Dr. Jay Reese called in from Derby, Kansas, where his son, Jady, and the rest of the Boonville 9-year-old Cal Ripken All-Stars are finishing up a great season. After winning the Missouri state championship, the Boonville boys won their first two games in the Great Plains regional, beating Cimarron River, Kansas, 6-4, and the SE Denver Huskies, 15-0.
Sadly, the team Boonville defeated in the state championship game, Mineral Area (near Farmington), knocked them out of the regional title game, 7-1. Boonville plays tomorrow in the 3rd Place game against Yankton, South Dakota.
