Guts
Pakal moved to approach Ichi,
And passed near Jason
On the wharf beneath Volcano Never.
Pakal paused, looked at Jason long,
Leaned over, and sniffed.
Offended, Jason pulled back.
"I smell dragon guts."
Said Pakal.
Non-pulsed, Jason leaned forward,
His nose startled at Pakal's scent.
"You too!" said Jason.
"Just so, Brother." said Pakal.

In Sufism the hatching and return of baby turtles to the sea is a symbol for returning to God through God's guidance.

Note the Turtle...in the Mayan icons...Upton K...Pujols up...a Turtle is shown beneath the 'World Tree'...rbi single...Angels 1-1...ground out...and this, from same site, note Polaris...Fire Clan’s Hopi Tablet:
for the swastika musings...to bottom of third...I'm juggling a couple things...and I can't find one which I had yesterday...an Aztec codex pic of a god spearing a Turtle...I found myself fascinated by the poor Turtle...the artist gave it a real look of dismay...a double by Castillanos...and at wiki reading about turtles in mythology, there was this...K...two out...fly out...lead off hit...Valbuena...top of 4th...racing to get ahead before the rain comes...Maldonado up...well, I cant find either of them...one is the Aztec/Mayan god spearing a turtle, and a side by side was mention that a Greek myth has a god spearing a turtle...there are tons of turtles in myths sites!...anyway...another thing is being swallowed by Snakes/Dragons...
The Mayan word for serpent, coatl, also means a pole. Quetzalcoatl travelled on a ship of poles. He was known as a traveller carrying a staff or even as a butterfly. When Cortez came to Mesoamerica, the sails of his ship were likened to butterfly wings and his appearance as a bearded foreigner with long robes caused the Mayans and Aztecs to believe he was the prophecy fulfilled of the return of Quetzalcoatl.

Calhoun hard liner out...two out...fly out...to bottom 4th...after five innings game is considered complete...Trout saves an out with catch...one out...third out K...to top of 5th...and...and...a rain delay...not likely Ohtani will continue...not likely game will continue, today!...hmmph...give me time to find that Turtle!...hmmph...short rain delay!...oh....and it's beginning to return...two out top of 5th?...and, and, I found the turtle...it's in the Borgia Codex...and the scene, I think, depicts one of the battles for worlds, the hero gets wounded in his leg...
for the next couple of hours...off and on rain...halt play...official game...Angels 1-Tigers 1...'we will be here awhile'...time to foray out for a snack...one of the gods loses his leg, and gets a prosthetic...not sure if this is the one being speared...but I see that icon often...game back on...bottom of 8th...Tigers 6-1...runners on 1st and 2nd...I went over to the mall, thinking to see a movie...and walking by outside seating of a sports restaurant, I paused to watch the game starting to get back under way...ground crew was chasing a Canadian Goose that refused to leave the playing field...finally took flight and promptly collided with an upper level score board, and augered into the lower level seats...apparently okay...gathered up and carried by a kindly girl...expensive restaurant, but thought to go inside and watch...bottom of 6th Pedrosan came in...Ohtani had gotten through five...and loaded the base up with walks and a bean ball...next reliever gave up a couple hits...and Tigers scored their five go ahead runs...hmmph...one away in the 9th...fly out...Goose collision kind of sums up Angels' effort...Maldonado K...'two quick outs'...Simmons made a great catch of flare...Calhoun grounds out...'and that's how the game ends'...
