I asked my phone to play a particular song. It decided to play one that was phonetically close enough to the title, but not quite on the mark. Hadn't heard that song in a long time though, so yeah?

I worked at the JJ's across the street from here before they announced the plans. I delivered to the tiny parking attendant hut a few times. I had already moved out of town when I heard about the plans for TF and I was like, "that's where they're going to put it? I have no idea how they'll fit a ballpark in that lot."
