tickets

Florida fans can grumble about game-day traffic, the heat and the price of a hot dog at The Swamp, but they probably can’t complain too much about the price of their ticket.

For the second consecutive season, UF, one of the Southeastern Conference’s most successful programs on the field, will have the lowest season ticket and individual game ticket prices in the SEC.

The Superior Court of California has a terrific web site. I have no idea what possessed them to use *images* instead of *text* for all their links, though. That’s just plain stupid. But … I was able to pay my latest traffic citation on line, which was very nice.

The highest-priced tickets in baseball got pricier Wednesday when the Boston Red Sox announced a 7.4 percent overall increase for this season.
Prices for the cheapest seats — upper and lower bleachers and outfield grandstand — are unchanged from last year, but all others are rising. Infield roof box, loge and field box seats, the most expensive at Fenway Park, will increase from $55 to $60.

Jiminy Cricket! Here it is, the #3 of January, and I’ve yet to make any resolutions! Obviously there is a ball and I’ve got to get on it, and soon. I’ll resolve some things as quickly as I can.

Resolution #1: Make resolutions #4 - 10.
Resolution #2: Make no more U-turns on Ventura when there is an overly aggressive, incredibly rude and foul-mooded Officer McAdams (Ca. badge #14190) slinking about the bushes ready to ticket anyone she can find disobeying traffic laws because as she claims, her job is not “to protect and to serve” - which is what is (apparently improperly) emblazoned on the cowl of her motorcycle - but is, in fact, “to write tickets”. Actually it would be better to make no more U-turns in the State of California because - completely opposite of the State of Florida rules - you are only allowed to do so at intersections, which seems insanely more dangerous to me, but what do I know? I’m a lawbreaking fool.
Resolution #3: Try to write fewer run-on sentences.

And so this was Christmas …

Here’s a list of all most of the games I’ve seen. I know I’m missing a couple of them. I’ll have to search through my big pile of ticket stubs at some point to find the rest.

A few weeks ago, 143 consumers bought round-trip tickets to Paris for $25 from United Airlines during a 55-minute window on the company’s Web site.

I have an American Express: Blue credit card. I got one as soon as they were introduced and have been patiently waiting to see what cool, geeky, techno stuff they were going to let me do with the smart chip that is embedded on the card. The Summer Concerts in Blue is the first implementation of the smart chip that I’ve seen and I have to admit it looks pretty nifty. Like Delta’s eTicket system - which I love, btw - you buy your concert tickets on-line and pick them up at the show using your Blue card. They also throw in a free CD. Cool.

I did it. I added all the games to the increasing list of interesting things nobody wants to know about me.

I’m working on a list of all the concerts I’ve seen. I know I’ve seen Less Than Jake about a dozen times, but I can only find the ticket stub from one show. There are several other shows I know I saw but I can’t find the stubs. If you went with me to a show, or at some point were in my house stealing old concert ticket stubs, please remind me where I was and what I was doing. Hold your burritos, too, because I’m going to soon have all the sporting events listed too. Then I will crown myself King of Pain. hahaha I crack me up Shut up, Dave sorry
