A Little Baseball



For baseball fans only:

On this day 100 years ago, the Pittsburgh Pirates and Brooklyn Superbas (today the Dodgers) played what the Baseball Reference Bullpen describes as "the most evenly
matched game ever." Both teams used two pitchers, scored eight runs, and recorded 13 hits, two errors, 38 at-bats, five strikeouts, three walks, 13 assists, 27 putouts, one hit batter and one passed ball. The game wasperhaps fittingly called on account of darkness, thus preserving the total deadlock.

Nice!

Friday Boobies



Friday the 13th? It's bad luck to be superstitious.

Know Your Newts

This is a slimy newt. It lies, cheats on its wives, and steals from anyone it can.
This is a good newt. It eats bugs.
It's important to know the difference, but neither one should be in government.

River Trip in One Week



One week from today, I'll be launching my raft on the San Juan river. This makes me very happy, but now I have to get all my gear organized. Where did I put that patch kit?

A Taxing Cartoon



Sometimes it's much easier to just post a cartoon than to write a post explaining a situation. Ending the shrub tax cuts explained.

Too harsh?

8/9/10

Today at six minutes and seven seconds after five o'clock it will officially be 05:06:07 8/9/10, which won't happen again until 3010 2110 (edit: corrected, thanks to a commenter. Doubt I'll be around for it, anyway). I believe that is a perfectly good reason for a toast.

A Sunday Funny



For some unclear (sunspots?) reason, my wireless connection is really inconsistent today. It's rather annoying.
