Beautiful. Just beautiful job with that ball. Sigh, I sure miss bowling. I used to do a lot of it. Can’t do it now because my back sucks, and I’ll spend fifty bucks the next day to get it fixed.
My favorite bowling memory, though, is when I lived in Yokosuka, Japan.
I was maybe nine or ten, and I loved bowling. On the base, it was really cheap to bowl, and my parents bowled a lot in leagues, had their own balls, etc.
At the bowling alley, they employed Japanese men as manual pin-setters. We used to go down to the end, and they would let us do all the work while they languidly sat back and smoked cigarettes.
We loved it, because there was noise, loud noise, and lots of violent, kinetic activity, pins flying everywhere, and to some boys, there is nothing so attractive as noise and kinetic activity!
Heh, sailors would be completely trashed, and we taunted them when they missed, so when were grabbing the pins, the sailors would toss one down trying to hit us while we were in the pit...:)
It was fun and dangerous game for impious boys...
I’m watching the Red Sox right now and you reminded me that the Mookie Betts, Red Sox right fielder, has bowled on the PBA and has bowled three perfect games.
Bowling Ball thrown from top of 164 meter Swiss dam onto a trampoline...many times until success!
Sorry for the troll but Mookie Betts just hit his second home run of the game tonight. Two home runs on two pitches.
Beautiful

Good story
I only have one. But in the last three weeks I have three 11-strike games, each one spoiled by a split in the middle frames.
That’s some serious knocking on the door!
The ball is beautiful! It deserves Presidential recognition.
:)
Good storytelling.

Happy rollin’ to you!
Thanks, bramps...I use FR to try to develop that...:)
It often makes my posts too long, but...I hope to get better for my future project...:)
Yesterday I showed the ball to a friend and an old angry woman came up to me and said she hoped I threw it in the gutter. My response that such would be fitting because it could confront where all the Democrats are -— in the gutter.
That is WH bowling alley.
Thank you!
