Just returned, after 6, 9 run fifth, from the Tampa Tarpons v Bradenton Marauders, Florida State League A Ball game at Steinbrenner Field, Spring Training site for the New York Yankees.
The crack of the bat, the clap of the ball in the catcher's mitt, the delayed call of strike by the umpire; baseball with 250 fans sharing a spring evening. Sat two tiers up, with scouts, on just right of home plate.
First time experiencing the strike zone challenge.
The umps were overturned rarely and by inches.
Watched 95 mph fastballs, a bases loaded triple and good, but some errored infielding.
BOGO night, ticks for two at $10.50. Hamburgers, 2, and two beers for $23.00. French fries and water for $11.00.
Great date night in real America.
FL DOE, indoctrination on the evils of communism.
The coursework involves instruction on communist movements in places like Russia, China, Cuba, and even in the U.S. itself.
According to Legislative analysts, instruction must include “age-appropriate” content about the following:
The history of communism in the U.S. and domestic communist movements
Atrocities committed in foreign countries under the guidance of communism
Comparative discussion of political ideologies, such as communism and totalitarianism
The increasing threat of communism in the U.S. and to its allies
The economic, industrial, and political events that have preceded communist revolutions
The communist policies of Cuba and the spread of communist ideologies throughout Latin America

MSNOW is on in the background. No ads. Checked.
It appears the spinoff has lower revenues. Guardian says higher viewership, but streaming services often have to find fillers.
We are older folks, as a rule.
We are thinkers who peel back layers.
Not sure our replacements do.
We are in a social upheaval; I prefer to hold my bets.
Grifters are taking advantage of our inability to stop them.
Not sanguine as we go forward.
Insects have rights.

It is the first time any country has granted legal rights to an insect species. The ordinances apply specifically to stingless bees of the Peruvian Amazon and their habitat.
Been watching two Great Blue Herons feeding a
youngster in the tall Cypress across my pond. Their in and out religion of feed and watch and fly has been a treat.
Contemplating the chick getting out of the nest. Has to be a lot of watching the parents up and downs.
The leaps into the unknowns turn up knowns.
Just trimmed a 7lb boneless leg of lamb of excess
fat and fascia. Pieces great for grilling. Dusted with my own dry rub.
Lost a pound and a half. Rest in fridge until Friday night. Olive oil and lemon juice until Sunday morning. Grill and race to daughter's for 11:00 AM brunch. She has the hummus and tabouli.
Won't be a bite left.
On the Matt Schlapp ask about impeachment, after
actually seeing it, I sensed the audience was ready to cheer, regardless of the question. The tepid response in the repeat exhibited the slightest of inward reflection.
Am I off?
A thought: we have never had a successful audit on
Pentagon expenditures. The Secretary of "War," has bragged about the superiority of our military.
Part of our military operations is in the world of quartermasters. They are certainly the best.
Perhaps we could get them to come up with the means to accommodate the president's request for $200 billion from the monies already outlayed or assigned.
We have characters in our movies and books who do just that.
Let's here it for the quartermasters coming to Hegseath's rescue.
A thought. Had we really partnered with Ukraine,
we would have learned how they advanced to modern warfare.
Putin is another story.
