Dodgers replacing fireworks with…drones
Wonder if this catches on... I love fireworks but I guess I get it if you have PTSD from being in the army or something. After thinking about it, I guess it makes sense in fire-prone areas. Wonder if other dry cities follow suit.

I can see them moving away from fireworks, too, but I just knew, without even playing the video, that Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" was going to be the soundtrack. Even that has creepy Apocalypse Now vibes to me.Big Amoco Sign wrote: ↑March 27 23, 2:40 pmWonder if this catches on...

Drones are a one time fixed cost, so that's probably attractive to teams. It wouldn't surprise me if some upstart company even offered to do the shows for free in exchange for some cross-marketing opportunity. "DroneCo(tm), the Official Drone of the Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles!"

Hell, I could give one of my seventy-minute literature lectures at a fraction of the cost.heyzeus wrote: ↑March 27 23, 3:05 pmDrones are a one time fixed cost, so that's probably attractive to teams.

Really, after a Dodgers win, what better way to celebrate than an hour-plus lecture on the most obscure literary devices of 20th Century South Eastern Quaker Women’s prose? There is no better way.sighyoung wrote: ↑March 29 23, 11:23 amHell, I could give one of my seventy-minute literature lectures at a fraction of the cost.heyzeus wrote: ↑March 27 23, 3:05 pmDrones are a one time fixed cost, so that's probably attractive to teams.

To be fair, the 21st Century Indiana Mennonite Blank-Verse Drama lecture might be even more scintillating.BottenFieldofDreams wrote: ↑March 29 23, 11:59 amReally, after a Dodgers win, what better way to celebrate than an hour-plus lecture on the most obscure literary devices of 20th Century South Eastern Quaker Women’s prose?
