It just rained by me. Not enough of a shower to even cover the sidewalk. Time for a major rain dance.

Does anyone read Miss Manners? I normally don't, but my eyes drifted up to her column today and it was a hoot. Old married friend tries to fix up widowed friend. Widowed friend took care of a blind husband for some years before he died. Old married friend thought it would be great to fix her up with another blind guy. I guess because she's good at it or something. Literally sends her on a blind date. Of course, when widowed friend arrives, she goes running off and terminates the friendship. Miss Manners then layeth the smackdown upon old married friend.

Stumbled upon the "Fire Joe Morgan" site. Personally, I like Joe, but I haven't watched him much this year. Man, is he making stupid comments lately. So is Tim McCarver. And others. And what about Carlos Beltran's monkey?
