To Make Baseball More Exciting, Pitchers Who Violate Pitch Clock Will Be Dropped Into Pit Of Alligators  (backstory on this latest assault on tradition).

Dog problem solving.

Should've gone around, idiot.

"I go to prepare a place for you..."

I don't know if I've posted this picture before, but it's a trail in the White Tank mountains about 20 miles west of Phoenix, Arizona. When I was in graduate school, I used to hike there all the time, and occasionally I'd take my books out there to study. 

The desert doesn't suit everyone, but it's my favorite locale. I have this fantasy that, as you lay dying, if you can fix in your mind the picture of a place that you love, then it will become your own little slice of heaven. This is mine.

Of course, if I'm wrong about my destination, I suppose I'll wind up in, I dunno, Camden, New Jersey.

Oh, so no summary execution. Thanks, Your Munificence.

"Pelosi Statement on Trump Indictment Turns Justice on Its Head: Says He Has the 'Right to a Trial to Prove Innocence'".

Friend and commenter Veeshir in the comments: "He is surely guilty of Obstruction of Betters with aggravated Orange Man Bad."

Happy Feet Friday

Here's rockabilly star Carl Perkins, with "Matchbox".

Sounds like an insurrection to me

"Protesters Storm Tennessee Capitol Demanding Gun Control".

So, we went from "They're going to indict Trump on Tuesday!" (Tuesday a week ago)...

...to this: "Grand jury in Trump Manhattan district attorney investigation going on monthlong break".

No indictment after all this time? Could it be...?

Update  Well, this post quickly became obsolete: " New York Grand Jury Indicts Donald Trump".

They're really looking - hoping - for a Fort Sumter moment.

Back in the day

I'm familiar with electric can openers - Ma Paco had one she bought back in the 60s and let us have - mobile dish washers, and percolators, but I had never heard of the rest of these things.  Of course, we weren't exactly what you'd call "cutting edge" people.
