River deep , mountain high
... to win the 'World' series (actually not so much the world as the US, we are forced to remind one or two guys) and every bar and restaurant has multiple screens showing the action; all around us fans are shouting arcane instructions to the deaf ears of the players.
Next stop Lake Tahoe, where we slowly climb two miles above sea level with our ears popping and our eyes out on stalks at wonderful mountain views. We are surprised to see a little snow on the ground and have to stop ...
