We Interrupt This Broadcast ...

... to bring you an update on a matter of great significance:

It's officially October, and the Royals are still playing ball!!!!!!!!!

Please pardon the nostalgia from a middle-aged, long-suffering Royals fan. My old man and my big brother Chris took me to Game 5 of the 1985 ALCS. I was 12, and it's one of the best memories of my childhood. Royals were down 3-1 in the series, had to win to stay in. Danny Jackson pitched a gem, and KC manufactured two small ball runs and held on.

That team was a bunch of fighters, and while I know better than to make any predictions, this 2014 squad is satisfying to watch for the same reason.

much peace,
tjb

Ebola Is Here


http://news.yahoo.com/dallas-er-sent-ebola-infected-patient-home-050718374.html

About 80 people (they think) have had direct contact with this guy.What's the CDC going to do when they find the next infection outside that web? Why in all the cold hells do we not have a travel ban from the affected countries?  I'm not really a conspiracy theorist, but one way or the other, we've been betrayed. Either those in power want the disease to spread here, or they are simply horribly incompetent and have not taken the necessary stringent measures to prevent it from doing so. Whichever, it's going to spread.

William has anxiously asked me multiple times lately if Ebola "could happen here." I have reassured him each time that no, it cannot. Apparently I'm a dirty liar, because it's absolutely happening here.

much peace,
