We’re a Week Away…
…from out first likely rainout. April 1’s opening day is not looking great right now. We’ll just keep pushing off the date until we get that first nice Saturday. We even delay marginal opening weather because we need that first good day to set things right for the season. We will make the call typically on Thursdays at 3:00 PM, as we do all season and we post on Facebook. Why Thursdays? Because it gives people time to make plans and build up the nerve to go visit that annoying cousin who borrowed your drill.
One of the questions we get a lot is if pets are allowed. Yes, we allow all types, we even welcome the swamp donkey you met at the bar at the 1:50 AM last call, even if you’ve not been home yet. We don’t judge.
As for the four legged kind, yes, as long as they are leashed. We’ll warn you now, that when you go use the public restroom near Starbucks, have someone hold that leash for you so your dog doesn’t suddenly decided to say “hi” to someone, resulting in you hosing down the stall like you’re putting out a brush fire. We also don’t want to see you yanked out of that stall with your pants around your ankles mid-drop, by that pet-rescue mastiff. Management gets mad about it too.
Just remember that not everyone thinks your dog is cute, so keep the leash short when appropriate. Most are good at managing their crayon eaters, but we have no control once they drive out and attempt that smokey burnout… that we’ve recorded and that the police use for your reckless driving arraignment. We supply the popcorn for your trail for free as a public service. You’re welcome.
We also get lots of questions about criteria this time of year. Please go to the criteria page first and check there before you write us, so you’re not burning up a volunteers time wondering if your Aston Martin is qualified. All Aston Martins are qualified, and they would know that if they pursued the page. Yes, we do find gaps and we have times when we don’t know ourselves, in which case we pass it around to the Thugs for an opinion like we do just about everything else. We will get back to you as soon as we have an answer.
You also write to us about our hours which are on our About page. The latest news will always be posted on our Newsy page, which you’re on right now. Stay tuned!
