Babe in the Blizzard

Not too many folks around the Warehouse today.  (Would have been one fewer if I'd bothered to read the state's website.)

We can always rely on Babe to hold down the fort, though.  (Unlike the still-missing "8", he doesn't do road trips.)  He may look like the Abominable Snowman, but he's a reliable sentry for Camden Yards and he's always on duty, reminding our guests that it's still his neighborhood.

I'm sure, like the rest of us, he's counting the hours til Opening Day.  It's only two months away, so while you're watching the snow swirl outside your window like a scene from "Dr. Zhivago," remember that spring is almost upon us.

(As I kept reminding myself while hoofing up Howard towards home. Where's a troika when you really need one?)
