Oh boy, I need to get in on this. Now you've got me wondering just where this way.

I used a similar line several years ago in similar circumstances.

Coach demanded I went for help as the PU...on a play at the plate where I judged the catch dropped the ball and did not complete the tag. So I strolled slowly out to the BU.

"Jim, how are you doing today?"

"Oh I'm fine. Weather's nice."

"Yeah it is. OK great, I just wanted to check on you."

I turn around and repeat "RUNNER'S SAFE!"

About halfway to SA, right on 10, before LaGrange. (Yes, ZZTop fans, LaGrange is a real town!)

When I saw the thread title, I was thinking there might be a new mechanic or term for walking the line in the A slot.

Isn't that a former Sovjet-country in Europe?

In today's political climate, at times it feels as if it might be now!

Actually, My LaGrange has been here a while. Atlanta is a suburb

The use of the word "town" to apply to LaGrange is stretching it just a bit. "Watering hole" or "stop along the road" would be a more apt description.

I would call a place like Katy barely a town!

Like Sherman?

Seriously though, Katy is really just a suburb - no separation between Houston and Katy. Just a town? 100k population would beg to differ.

LaGrange? Other than the "nice-girls-ah!", yeah, it's a gas station and a stop light.

Katy proper has about what...17,000 people? The Katy area has around 250,000.

Katy "proper" includes much further east toward Houston (and slightly further north to Cypress's border) than it did in 2000. Interesting to know what the 2010 census will show. Katy magazine quoted the anticipated 100k number recently (as Katy proper, not the Katy area)

My 2005 Rand McNally road atlas shows Katy at 12,430.

Wow! Katy has grown! One day, it might actually make *gasp* city status. Actually, it has been a while since I have been in the Houston area, but I remember Katy as just a small little burg, even when compared to the micropolis of Sherman.
