I once stood so close to a F4U-5 I could smell it. Since there were no ground crew around I did not touch her, although I wanted to caress her like a teen age boy on a date. Out of respect for the guys like Dixe, I did not. Although, when FI-FI (B-29) was in town, I was able to ask and did so...

I have a great respect for guys like Dixie that keep history of that time period alive for those of us who are too young to have been there. Thank you, Sir!

Well, apparently Zhou has gotta go. I haven't been this thrilled since they got a Bo Xilai nouveau. [:D]

It does look like a bit of a hazard. The last rule is a bit tough. A stroke penalty for disturbance from an exploding bomb!?

Pfft...the only thing the Yank me's need is good pitching and good hitting. Right-good defense would be a bonus too.

Are you guys even above .500?

This season is all about my Oakland A's. Best record in the bigs for months on end now. They keep signing stellar pitching and they've got the greatest (by far) ratio of runs scored: runs allowed in the majors. No one else is close.

Enjoy Jeter's swan song, SuluSea-it's the only thing you'll get out of this season. We'll inform you how our pennant and World Series berths came out.

Saw Guardians of the Galaxy Friday while kids were at a cosplay con. Nice to have them old enough that I can cleave them for a couple of hours and not be worried about them or the facility. No spoilers here, but stay through the credits as is typical of all Marvel films and watch for the "no animals were abused" clause at the end of the credits. Once you read it you will know why I said wait for it.

Overall, I liked it. Good summer fun, no reality needed or required to enjoy it.
