Choices

Cardinals have been fun to watch lately. Doing everything well. Winning.

So I’m watching the B-backs game on a Sunday afternoon, and the Cards are making it interesting. They take the lead in the top of the 7th. After the 3rd out, the broadcast doesn’t cut to commercials — Phoenix’s stadium announcer asks people to please rise and sing along as we pay tribute to our great nation with the singing of god bless america. Cue camera #3 to zoom in on the stadium organist, who proceeds to play the tune while a fraction of the crowd sings along looking bored.

The network, Bally Sports, gave up whatever revenue they could have collected. For the god thing blended in equal parts with the lukewarm ‘Merica thing.

A bank commercial would have been more enjoyable.

DON'T BUY NB!

I got this pair of shoes a few weeks ago and they have been occasionally and lightly worn. I have no idea why New Balance would claim they were "Made in USA" -- they don't look all that bad, but they are literally falling apart.

If I could find the receipt, I'd be returning them for sure.

Age of Aquarius

When the moon is in the seventh house,

And Jupiter aligns with Mars,

Then peace will guide the planets

And love will steer the stars.

 

OK, I’m game. Can’t wait. Our planet's guide sure ain't Peace.

Could you be a bit more specific about the timing? Like maybe tell me “November 23, 2068” or “Hey, you missed it, it happened 468 years ago on July 4^th?”

Come on, I really want to believe, but my faith is moving into the eighth house.

Seems Like It

Yeah, it just makes sense -- people who drive the truck/vans for EMS likely score well on Frogger.

Indecision

I am undecided about the title for this photo of an activity which takes place every 12 days in my house. It could be called "Sure Sign of Aging" or maybe "Stayin' Alive" (with apologies to the Bee Gees).
