The Merit Badge Midway

There was this one merit badge event that I went to for my scouts. That event was for getting merit badges. I went to that event to get the first aid badge and the Indian Lore badge. There is this thing called the blue card where who get it signed by the counselor when you are done with all the requirements. First Aid was a really hard badge because it is a badge you need to be an Eagle Scout. The Eagle Scout merit badge are harder to get than the regular merit badges. The Eagle required merit badges have a white border around them will the regular ones don't. Indian lore is not an eagle merit badge because you won't really need it for life. First Aid you will because it is about your health. In first aid we learned how to trap someone's arm and ankle when they are injured. We also learned about first degree burns, second degree burns, and third degree burns. Second degree burns hurt the most because in the third degree burns you don't fill it. The reason you don't feel a third degree burn is because the third degree burn burns off the nerves which makes you no feel it. first degree burns look like a sun burn, wile second degree burns look like blisters. We also learned about stroke, shock, dehydration, and heart attacks. Indian Lore was just about Indians and their way of life. One of the requirements were to build a mini teepee. My teepee told a story.so by the end of the event I got my blue cards signed off and brought them to my scoutmaster, so he can give me the badges in one week. This is what I did at the Merit Badge Midway (the name of the event).

The Dodgers

My favorite baseball team are the Dodgers. I remember going to my first baseball game.  It was the Dodgers against the Dimondbacks. The Dodgers ended up winning by a walk-off double from Adrian Gonzalez. The Dodgers, these days, are good but they always lose in the playoffs. I have been to two Dodger playoff games in a row. They played the Saint Louis Cardinals, which was and still a very good team. Aside from that, the Dodgers lost game one but won game two. However, the Dodgers ended up losing the series three games to two. The Dodgers' best pitcher is either Zach Greinke or Clayton Kershaw. I have no idea who would be better because Greinke did good this past season but Kershaw won the Cy Young award the year before. But this past postseason the Dodgers lost the  New York Mets in the first round. In conclusion, the Dodgers are now in there offseason and they are getting ready for April to start the regular season.
