Re: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines! What a great place it’s a great place to start!
It just dawned on me that about one year ago, when we were in Bern, Switzerland, we were staying two houses down from the Israeli Embassy. The walk to the tram stop took us right past the embassy. It was so calm and quiet. There were gates at either end of the street and a security kiosk out front, ...

Even more if you keep going with the "Do-do-doo do-do-doo, do-do-doo" in your head.

Re: MLB Spring Training 2024
There was an explosion of euphoria yesterday in Cub world when they re-signed Bellinger.
At our local Greek breakfast place, a guy was wearing both a Cubs jacket and a Cubs hat. (Not a ballcap, but a driving cap - it looked really cool actually.) He had me beat because I just had a Cubs sweatshirt.

The reason that pitchers get hurt so often is simple: The human body is not meant to do what pitchers do.

It's almost like local politicians bringing politically motivated criminal charges is a bad idea.
Though none of today's theater has anything to do with the merits of the criminal charges.
