We went to the Braves game tonight. They been the Houston Astros 5 to 2. I left work as early as I could so that we could get down to the game early. We had no problem getting a $3 parking place just across 85/75 from the stadium.

Danny and Nicole were decked out with war feathers, paint, shirts, and each had a Krystal Tomahawk, which Kathy says is not a weapon of war, but a gardening tool. Seems like everyone in the stadium had gardening tools to shake at the Astros.

We brought our dinner and ate in on the steps outside of the stadium, watching all the sights. Men painted reddish brown from head to toe, two giant tomahawk head dresses, supported by metal shoulder and back braces, lots of drumming.

It was a lot of fun. Kathy screamed the most. Danny and Nicole tied for second. I had been practicing “Take me out to the ball game” with the kids, and they got to sing that with the entire crowd. We each got a box of Cracker Jacks.

The tomahawk chant was unnerving to the Astros. Their short stop was particularly unnerved as he made at least 3 or 4 huge errors.

Terry Pendelton hit a home run.

After the game, their were fireworks. Then we marched back to the car singing and chanting with the crowd. Someone invented words to the tomahawk chant: “The car’s over there…. The car’s over there…”

On the way back to the car we saw the HondaHawk: A tomahawk mounted on top of a Honda with ropes and pullies so that it looked like it was trying to chop the hood in half.

Danny and Nicole passed out during the 11:00 pm drive home. They did real good. So did the Braves.
