Just One More to Go

The Boston Red Sox came from 4 runs behind last night to win 9 - 6.  They now lead the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, 3 - 1.  With a win tonight, they will become world champions again.

Down 4 - 0, Mitch Moreland hit a three run home run to bring the score to 4 - 3.

Steve Pearce tied the game with a solo home run.

Brock Holt doubled and then scored to take the lead 5 - 4.

 Pearce came up with the bases loaded and emptied the bases with a double to make the score 8 - 4.

The Sox got another run and in the bottom of the ninth inning 

the Dodgers got two more runs but fell short.

Long games, but exciting for a long-time Red Sox fan. 

Miromar Outlets

My suitcase wore out, so I went to Miromar to replace it.  A fountain and the sky caught my eye.

Sunrise in Naples

I live on the 16th hole of a golf course in Naples.  This is the sight that greeted me
when I woke up for my first day in southwest Florida this fall.

It is shared with Weekend Reflections.

Out of the Jurisdiction: Mount Dora, Florida

On my drive south, I detoured to see the Starry Night house in Mount Dora, Florida. An autistic young man loves Van Gogh’s famous painting. His parents painted the house and wall so that, if he gets lost, he can tell people he lives in the Starry Night house and they will find it.

Got to Naples in time for dinner last night.  Got to find something to photograph for tomorrow.

Out of the Jurisdiction: Savannah, Georgia

I got to Savannah with about 45 minutes of light remaining.  So, I went for a fast walk.

United States Post Office.

Telfair museums.  It was closed.  I have never been inside.

Two cute kids and a photographer.

Streetscape.

I love the details as I walk the streets.

Birthplace of Juliet Low, founder of the Girl Scouts.

Independent Presbyterian Church.

James Oglethorpe, founder of the Georgia Colony. Designed and created by Daniel Chester French, sculptor of the Abraham Lincoln statue in the Lincoln Memorial.  Oglethorpe presides over 

Chippewa Square, facing south so that he can “keep a watchful eye on the Spanish.”

Every time I am in Savannah, it seems I end up near the Six Pence Pub when I am ready for dinner.

Naples tomorrow.

Out of the Jurisdiction: Harrisonburg, Virginia

The frost arrived overnight in Connecticut.  I hit the road this morning for Florida and took the western path into New York State on Route 84 before turning south on Route 81 through Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia and finally western Virginia. 

 I arrived in Harrisonburg as the sun went down.  I had to explore the downtown in the dark.

Asbury United Baptist Church on South Main Street is an old-fashioned church with 

a nicely lighted stained glass window.

Onward tomorrow.  I am aiming for Savannah.

Bone and Joint Insitute

Hartford Hospital opened a new facility for orthopedics and other bone and joint problems.

I like the sweeping lines of the connector between the two buildings.
