saints mega merch sale

 there wasn't much planned for the day, but the main thing was going to a 'mega merch sale' at the saints baseball stadium. i knew full well that i wouldn't buy much, as i already have plenty of hats, jerseys, and shirts. what i liked was that the souvenir shop wasn't near as crowded as it is on game days. i bought one item, a ball. it was a black and white ball with the STP in the shape of a pig, likely from the 25-year anniversary season. i am aware of how some items from their days as an independent club haven't sold yet, and this must be one of them. it will go next to the other one i have with this styling, which is blue and white. i had lunch there as well, but only one food stand was open. and not much was available, so i ended up getting a hot dog and some cider. i will likely return to this venue for the holiday lights, sometime in december but no ticket ordered yet. i wanted to get my money's worth on the parking fee i had paid, which was two hours. after leaving the stadium i walked around downtown a little. first stop was at a pizza place near the stadium and mears park. i usually pass by it on game nights, having already eaten before the game, or just wanting to get back to my car and leave after the game. i had some sparkling water and a slice of pepperoni pizza. i ended up at rice park, then going past candyland and then back to my car. before then i did the typical errand running. there was three orders to pick up at the post office. then i dumped recycle at a bin near the capitol and went to the copy store to print an event ticket. i had some ice cream at a mcdonald's, after finding out a dairy queen was closed for the season. when i got home i rested some and then got groceries at aldi. in the evening i had a sandwich at jersey mike's, then went home to watch the world series on fox. much like with game one, i was tired and fell asleep and missed some of it. i laid down when the dodgers were leading the yanks 4-1 in the 6th, found out the score held up, as the dodgers went on to win, 4-2. another thing i did was get a look at various things in the kitchen, and decided to take out some of the plastic food containers i wasn't using. i had six, but really just use two. one is for granola bars and snack cakes, the other for canned fruit. so now it is down to three, the others will be sent for recycling. later on i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 59 cents.
