Irn-Bru, Lakeland Flying Tigers & Cherry Cola Oreos

It was a mundane week, with some interesting moments. Last Monday and last Tuesday were not too terribly exciting; at least on Tuesday I had interesting beverages. Late last month (the night that I unexpectedly saw the wrestling show) I was able to stop in Lakeland and get some gourmet soda; one of those was Irn-Bru, which is the famed carbonated soda from Scotland. As I had heard, it does have a sort of bubblegum taste and I thought it was fine. So was the Canada Dry ginger ale and lemonade I had. I don't drink ginger ale but someone I know blind bought a 20 ounce bottle and only had a small amount because they did not want to have so much sugar; I polished off the rest. Wednesday was definitely more interesting.

Wednesday, I went and saw a baseball game, albeit one that was minor league. I drove down to Lakeland to their stadium to see the Lakeland Flying Tigers (as the area used to be into aeronautics) play against the Clearwater Threshers. It did not matter to me who won... I just wanted to be entertained, and I was. The drive down there and back wasn't great as there were too many dum-dums on the highway but believe me I got used to such things long ago. The actual stadium experience was nice... for only 15 bucks I sat 4th row right behind home plate AND got a wristband so I could be a part of the promotion they do each Wednesday where if you participate, you get as much of a few items as you want for a few hours; that includes burgers, hot dogs, pizza and popcorn. I was happy to participate in that. As for the game, Lakeland won 6-5. They scored the 6 runs early on but did not do much offensively after that while Clearwater scored 3 of their runs in the final inning so Lakeland had to hang on to win. I can't really complain about the random people around me; sure, I could but honestly it's minor so I would likely come off as a jerk if I did.

Thursday I did nothing but Friday, I ended up at Walt Disney World. I hate saying that I had a bad day when I was at such a location... regrettably that is true. There were just too many rude and/or dumb people, and that includes individuals who were working at Disney at the time. I won't go in-depth and heck, some moments were still nice. I got to see some more pretty scenery at Epcot's Flower & Garden Festival and after that I got to eat the great pizza that Blaze Pizza offers at Disney Springs. I did nothing of note this weekend so I'll mention that after I left Disney Springs, I went to Walmart, where some random items were picked up... including the limited edition Cherry Cola Oreos. I understand many aren't fizzing with excitement over them but to me they taste fine.

Next Monday, nothing is on the schedule as of now.
