hard deadlines

It wasn't the best weather, but at least some of the Portsmouth Little League teams got in their first games today. Jack's team (Norbury Construction) had some fun, and so did the parents — some huddling under blankets, and a lot of folks with coffee — but everyone cheering both teams on and having a great time.


And then we did the yearly pilgrimage to the Glen for Touch-a-Truck. It benefits the Portsmouth Public Library, and it's fun for kids of all ages. Ran into some parents from Hathaway (howdy!) as well as Library board member Matt Daily and the always charming and informative Jack Callahan. Bunny Miller and the Portsmouth Prevention Coalition were giving out balloons. Jack loves the complicated dashboards and all the controls.


I always check out the warning stickers on heavy equipment, and was not disappointed. Here's a delightfully terrifying warning sticker from a septic pumpout truck.
