She will never leave. Even after she does pass away, I am sure they will bury her in the state senate building.

You've got to admit that is a crafty move. The Democrats have turned on her. So now, the Republicans are coming to her rescue. They could manipulate her. However, it is sad to watch. Those who claimed to be your friends, are now demanding that you get the eff out. Not even backstabbing. They are stabbing you from the front. You can see who is plunging the knife into your chest. Brutal.

No rain here, forecast or otherwise. However, still in the 80's instead of the 90's or 100's, so I am a happy camper.

I remember one year when I was flying out of town on 4th of July weekend. I sat on the tarmac. There was a rain delay. It was a weird occurrence of a cold, wet summer. I recall that same year, the ski parks were open on Memorial Day . I guess cool weather has to happen every few years. We're heading towards the next ice age. Watch for the return of the woolly Mammoth.

Just in case anyone was wondering who the guy in the dirty t-shirt was: Jorge Masvidal. A mixed martial arts competitor.

The game was on television. There were a lot of empty seats. It looked better than the baseball game in Washington with Pelosi throwing the opening pitch.

On the next channel over, the Giants vs Cardinals game at Busch Stadium was packed. If anyone was protesting Anheuser-Busch Bud Light, it was not apparent. According to the game announcer, the ENTIRE town of Ollie, Iowa, 198 people, were all at the game tonight. Tonight was Keaton Winn's first game.

Maybe the A's should move back to Kansas City.

Giants games are often sold out (or close to it).

So the Giants are moving anytime soon. Never was an A's fan, but it is interesting that they have so few fans.

I suppose, and I could be wrong, that the fan base goes up when the team is winning. To do that, and I could be wrong, the front office has to spend money on talent. You can only give away so many t-shirts and bobbleheads.
