I would normally agree, but the price discrepancy seems higher than usual, since 5ers are generally more per stick than 10ers.

I'm actually bringing the hot dogs. If you have a clear bag, they'll let you bring in your own snacks. A friend of mine, always brings his own dogs. I'm gonna give it a try this time. Worst case scenario, they confiscate them.

They definitely don't do dollar dogs EVER at Yankee Stadium. Recently, they became cashless too since there's no time to make change. But I'm still surprised that they let you bring in stuff from outside. Not as many people take advantage of that than you'd think.

The Guardians have tried to do the same thing. I think the last time I was there, I only saw one stand where you could pay with cash.

Maybe people don't take advantage of the snack policy because it's permitted. They need the rush of bringing them in on the sly, like at the movies. :D

Maybe put a six pack in there as well.  That will save you $70 or so!

I don't think that's allowed. Maybe sealed clear water bottles, but not even sure about that.

Today is Thursday, June 5, the 156th day of 2025
with 209 to follow.

The moon is waxing. Morning stars are Mars, Neptune, Saturn and Venus. Evening stars are Jupiter and Mars.




On this date in history:


In 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt signed a bill abolishing the gold standard.

In 1950, the Supreme Court ruled 8-0 that segregation in railroad dining cars violated the Interstate Commerce Act.

In 1967, the Six-Day War began between Israel and the Arab states of Egypt, Syria and Jordan.

In 1968, as he campaigned for the Democratic presidential nomination in Los Angeles, Sen. Robert Kennedy was shot by Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian immigrant. Kennedy, 42, died the next day.

In 1976, the Teton River Dam in Idaho collapsed as it was being filled for the first time, killing 14 people, flooding 300 square miles and causing an estimated $1 billion damage.

In 1991, in a step away from apartheid, South African legislators repealed the Land Acts of 1913 and 1936, which reserved 87 percent of land for whites.

In 1998, members of the United Auto Workers went on strike at a General Motors plant in Flint, Mich., over frozen wages. The strike ended seven weeks later with GM promising not to close facilities and buying new equipment for workers, and some workers increasing output by 15 percent.

In 2000, Ukrainian officials announced that the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, site of the worst radiation accident in history, would be closed.

In 2001, Tropical Storm Allison struck the Texas coast for the second time shortly after forming in the Gulf of Mexico. The storm, which made a second landfall days later in Louisiana, would go on to kill 50 people and cause $5 billion along the gulf and northeastern coasts.

In 2003, officials said U.S. troops would withdraw from the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea, bringing an end to 50 years of guard duty.

In 2004, Ronald Reagan, the 40th U.S. president, died at his Los Angeles home at the age of 93 of complications from Alzheimer's disease.

In 2008, the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks on the United States told a military court in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, he wanted to plead guilty to the charges to become a martyr. Khalid Sheik Mohammed said he expected to face the death penalty.

In 2010, U.S. President Barack Obama named Lt. Gen. James R. Clapper Jr. director of national intelligence.

In 2012, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican, became the first governor in U.S. history to survive a recall election.

In 2013, Susan Rice was named U.S. national security adviser, replacing outgoing Tom Donilon.

In 2023, former Vice President Mike Pence officially filed paperwork to seek the Republican nomination to run for president of the United States. He dropped his bid in late October 2023.

Hot dogs are all gone. I took them out of the pot, right into the bun, and wrapped each in tin foil. Believe it or not, they were still hot when we ate them.
