Praying for Egypt

I'm praying for everyone over in Egypt during this troubled times that they're going through. As many of you know, the Egyptian people are protesting the government, which has been in power for 30 years now, and they're trying to get some new leadership in place and force their current leader out of office. I pray that the Egyptian people will find peaceful ways to voice their opinions on the government.

Tiger Truck '11

I saw this picture of the WYCD van going past the Comerica Park Tiger as I was looking through my TigerFest pictures. It looks like the Tiger is about to pounce here, and the truck is just getting away. WYCD was at TigerFest handing out freebies to attendees. They also host the Downtown Hoedown in May down at Hart Plaza. Just thought I'd share this pic with you all.

YouTube FridaySpace shuttle Challenger explosion CBS Evening News

Today's edition of YouTube Friday is in memory of the astronauts who lost their lives in the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion that occured 25 years ago today, on January 28, 1986. I found this video on 10TVMan's YouTube Channel. Many people still remember where they were when they saw or heard about the explosion. I had just turned 2 years old a few weeks earlier, and really don't remember when this happened, but members of my family do. I remember seeing something on the news about this on the 10 year and 20 year remembrances in 1996 and 2006. I pray for their families today and always.

Smart Cars

Here's a picture of another of my favorite cars from the Detroit Auto Show. Smart Cars are small, yet they're pretty nifty, in my opinion. I've seen a few of them cruising around the Metro Detroit area, and thought about how small and compact they are. They look like little toy cars, but I'm guessing they drive well and are pretty cheap to purchase. If you have a Mini, how do you enjoy your car?

Buses in the world

Here is a picture I took from the Detroit People Mover a few weeks ago. These two buses, a DOT bus on the left (City Bus) and a Smart Bus on the right (suburban) , were waiting at the stop light at Grand Circus Park in downtown Detroit on a cold winter's morning. I like how this picture turned out, it looks like the buses are just sitting there while the whole world moves around them. The DOT goes through the city and in some suburbs, and the Smart Bus mainly goes through the suburbs of Detroit.

TigerFest Memories

Here are some pictures from TIgerFest that I'd like to share with you, the readers of TWaSbL. The first picture I'd like to share is of the TigerFest Ice Sculpture. The Ice sculpture is always a popular photo op for people to take photos with as they meander around the stadium. I like the Tiger on the side there growling. His twin brother is outside of the shot.
This batch of Tiger Memories was located in the Archive Room. This is from the 1968 campaign, when the Tigers won the World Series. A picture of the 1972 ALCS team is on display, as well. Many other items and memories were on display, as well.
I took a tour through the Tiger Clubhouse, along with many other fans that were in attendance. The Tigers have very nice digs, and have a lot of room to move around. They also have many TVs and other amenities there.
Here is a picture of Bill Freehan, who was the Tigers catcher from the early 1960s to 1976. This is located in the Tiger Club, where an autograph area was located. He was a member of the Tigers for the 1968 season, when the team won the World Series. He's in a famous picture where he and Mickey Lolich are celebrating the Tigers Championship.

TigerFest 2011 Blog

I attended TigerFest yesterday, and had a good yet Cold time. TigerFest is the annual Fan Festival for the Tigers. It has been sold out since 2007, its first year at Comerica Park. This picture was taken after I got to Comerica Park after Breakfast. My favorite parts of TigerFest were the pictures and the autographs. I also enjoyed the informative and entertaining Question and answer sessions. Despite the cold weather (it was in the single digits in the morning, and windchills were sub zero), everyone there seemed to have a great time. People patiently waited in lines for the autographs and photos with players (sometimes patience was in short supply). One of the points I'd like to see changed for next year's 'Fest is the wait for lines. There were long lines in excess of an hour or so. 2010 was an example of swift ines and short waits in line. That's the only gripe I have about TigerFest this year.
