I have a notebook with (just counted) 26 passwords. Typically it's an easy look-up. I guess I forgot to write the new one in LOL

Attended a Broadway presentation of "An American in Paris". Those guys can really dance.
I tell ya though - those seats are really uncomfortable - not at all like the recliners at The Palace Cinema.
We were worried about leaving Gus for 4 hours as we had DATE NIGHT and went to Paisans for dinner and the show little knowing how long the show would be.
WELL - 8:45 came the intermission, or as us guys call it, half time. Didn't get home until 11:00 and Gus was SO happy. We were afraid he would pee with happiness.
My brother owned a spider monkey for a little while and he would climb up and see his reflection in his glasses and pee. (just a random memory there)
So Gus was all wiggles with excitement but managed to not pee (they we know of yet).

Today they are suppose to install all the cabinets downstairs (not yet it seems) and AMS called and I WIN. I said that the installation date for the home theater would slide and it did. The furniture (stand) for all the equipment has not arrived yet. DAMN IT!

And of course the GOP has started the arms race which Russia has grabbed onto with glee and of course the GOP has started a trade war WITH THE WORLD and almost everything will go up in price . . except your 401K and stocks. All is well.
And of course the NRA is now telling America what the White House is thinking - all is well.

YUP - baseballs are juiced and are still juiced this year. X-rays show that the core in baseballs now (as compared to 2014) are 40% less dense then the older balls. BUT wait - there is a chemical difference also (to complicated to talk about and boring).
SO - now teams must put all of the baseballs into climate controlled humidors. Wondering how many baseballs a MLB uses every game? The average is somewhere near 70. Remember - if at any time a ball touches sand - it's tossed out (unless it was because of a play in the infield).
In other news - the Philadelphia Phillies are experimenting with a defensive shift in the outfield where the LF and RF switch depending what side the batter hits from. Yea - THAT will speed up the game! I should do that in Strat-o-matic but research has found that the only fielders that REALLY make a difference on defense are C, SS, 2B and CF. All the other fielders the best thing is to go with whoever has the best bat . . . . unless it's Ryan Braun at 3B.
Not saying fielding should be ignored but the difference between a great 3B and an average 3B fielder is maybe 10 bases a year. MUCH less then up the middle fielders.

Trumps approval rating for people ages 22 to 37 is 19% lower then older Americans. Not a good sign for the GOP.
In 1980 5% of Americans said they would be cremated (after they die). Now it's 50% with California, Oregon and Florida near 80%. DONALD - HELP the morticians, bring back those jobs!
57% of Americans believe Trump is a racist and 80% of blacks believe he is.
Indiana is about to pass a bill that will make eyeball tattoos illegal. YEA - OMG!! it's a real thing. There is a guy in the UK that his entire body is tattooed BLACK . . . . .INCLUDING his eyeballs.
OH YEA - Pharma Boy - the guy that raised prices for a life saving drug like 1000% - says he is sorry and that his 6 months in prison has shown that he made a bad decision and wants leniency.
Perhaps if we put ALL Americans in jail for 6 months and let everybody out we would have less crime. LOCK HIM UP!! Oh - he is SO sorry he got caught!
Here is some good news - NBC will cut 20% of its commercial time. YEA - we are watching The Office and Parks and Rec on NETFLIX from S1E1 to the ending. Many shows are only 21 minutes long.
I don't even want to look at the stock market as it fell below an important threshold which is triggering more selling! THANK YOU DONALD. OH the tax cuts - so far 6 billion has gone for raises and bonuses and 140 billion has gone to stock buy backs! HA - bet they regret THAT! LOL
BTW - if you get a chance to watch last nights Colbert it is one of his best shows. OMG Jeff Daniels - you would not even be alive today if you lived in Russia.

Weather - The GOES-S satellite launched yesterday and will be in a stable orbit in 2 weeks - it's a serious game changer.
But for us - Great weather until Monday when things go bad. Enjoy the weekend.
The North Pole will be 50 (FIFTY) degrees above normal today. That would be like we get to 84 today.
Cheers
