Scot...unsure about the location...Oct 13th.

Tracy...experimenting with the camera.  Cool shot.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame in the early morning.
As Tracy described it, with the "phallic looking football
thing" on top.

Scot...the proverbial pig in mud.  Canton, OH.
October 15th.

Jim Thorpe's statue that greets visitors
upon their entrance to the HoF.

The original mock-up for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' helmet
and logo.  It looks real, but it's actually hand-painted on the
basic white helmet.  From far away, an easy way to tell is that
the logo is actually backwards (the plume always faced the back
of the helmet.)

Scot with Lee Roy Selmon's bust at the HoF.
Mr. Selmon is the lone inductee from the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Scot with Lee Roy Selmon's helmet and jersey in the
barely lit Buccaneers corner at the HoF.
Not only is Mr. Selmon the lone Buc inductee, he
was also their first ever pick in the NFL draft upon
their first season (1976) in the league.

Tracy in the cold morning, by a wall, at the HoF.
Her thought: "Hurry and take the picture...it's freezing!"

Each NFL team has a "super fan" that gets put into the
HoF every year.  This year's Bucs' fan is Jackie Riles,
The "Pillow Lady."  Odd.  Not as odd as some of them,
but odd nonetheless.

The great part about the HoF is that it was not crowded at all.
Vacations (or honeymoons) in the Fall make so much sense for
those of us that hate crowds.  Here, Scot displays the QB technique
that might have gotten him third string at his high school, behind two guys
that threw worse, but chumped up to the coach.
Thank god for music.

And then Tracy proves that she would have at least
gotten second string by throwing a couple of nice
completions in this interactive exhibit at the HoF.

The original New England Patriots logo.  Scot was sad when
they changed to their new silver, modern look.  Always
thought that the "angry patriot" look was cool.

Just in case you weren't sure where you were....

This is Bob, the Cargoyle.  He's from Boston, so his name
is pronounced "Bahb."  He guards our food and
wards off menacing peace officers.

While we didn't actually go to Jacobs Field in Cleveland,
we drove past it several times.

Bob again, the little camera whore.  This is actually at a rest stop
between Cleveland and Columbus where they gave free food.
Seriously.

A winged horse playing a Strat...how very rock & roll.
Outside the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

Another guitar with the HoF in the background.

A lighthouse behind the Rock & Roll HoF and the Great Lakes
Science Center (a must see if you're in the area).  Large bodies of
water amaze me, by the way.  It's like the water and sky become one
on the horizon.

And on the other horizon, downtown Cleveland.  A nifty place.

They're a bit hard to see, but the seagulls and the Canada geese
each had their own turf.  Segregation is alive and well in the
animal kingdom.  Please alert Marlin Perkins and Jonathan Livingston.

Seems like an innocent pedestrian, right?  What the 
picture doesn't capture is the dude's dance he was doing
as he crossed the street...awesome!

OK, so you're not allowed to take photos at the R&R HoF, right?
Well, outside, we took this shot...you can see three of the Trabants, cheap
Eastern European cars, that U2 used as stage light fixtures on their
Zoo TV tour some years back.

You really don't realize the immense size of one of these boats
until you walk along side it...and walk further...and walk a bit more...
and realize you're almost halfway past it...then you keep walking....

And to sum up, another pic of my lady.
