Today, when I was driving out for lunch, I noticed a town resident a few streets over from me had installed horseshoe pits. What a wonderful game.

I remember playing horseshoes when I was a kid. Especially in the summer when I went to camp. I was small the first time I tried the game and could hardly get the heavy shoe half way to the pit. I improved to the point I was a pretty good thrower.

They should make horseshoes an Olympic sport. Much better than ribbon twirling.

Still trying to figure out what I'm gonna do with all these Breakin' 2 bootleg DVDs since they took breakdancing out of the next Olympics.

They always pitched horseshoes at family reunions. The older men would set it up. Kind of one of those sounds you never forget.

Yeah, that girl from Australia who just walked around for five minutes then got on her side and flipped like a half dead fish pretty much killed the future of Breakin’.

That was hilarious. How in the heck did she qualify?

Anyway, I love the game of horseshoes.

The original corn hole
Since football season hasn’t started, I had forgotten all about corn hole. It is the modern evolution of horseshoes and you can play it inside. Parents frown on playing horse shoes inside.
