The first neon sign I bought

I bought a used piece of neon from an antique shop in 1979 or 1980. It was just the glass and I was assured it would work. They told me to go to Claude Neon which I did. I got wire and an old transformer there. With the help of my friend Tom, we mounted it on plastic and hung it up.

A few years ago I got a modern transformer and connected it to Alexa so I can turn it on and off with my voice.

Ryan McKenna cost me $47.20

I don’t think he belongs on the current Orioles roster as a backup. He would have been fine during the terrible seasons but the 2023 team is too good. Let’s see what Colton Cowser can do.

He also cost me $47.20. I bet $20 on the Orioles to win an early-season game in Boston. I would have won $27.20. The Orioles had a one-run lead with two out in the 9th. McKenna drops an easy fly ball that would have ended the game. The next guy hits a home run so the Orioles lose and I wind up with zero.
