Great and fun New Game

With the Reds not doing so well, and Falcon football some 64 days away, and Lion football another 8 days further out than that, I wanted to divert a minute to give props to a great new outdoor game my son got for his birthday. Its from Temperance, Michigan, and its called Rattle Rail Toss. Its kind of like horseshoes, but a lot easier. You throw weighted balls with rope between them at a stand that has three rails in them, and you get points when you wrap the rope around the target.

Its a heck of a lot of fun. Check the web site out below for a better description, but its a great game because its challenging enough to be interesting, but can be played competitively by nearly any age person, especially if you let the little ones stand a little closer. I have no stake in this product, merely to say its a riot on a summer evening. It would be great for picnics and family gatherings, and it is easy to break up for team play as well as for head to head play.

Finally, for anyone who wants a succinct description of what ails our Reds, I think this does the trick.
