Way OT - Just in case you guys aren't paying attention

Fresno State (CA) just won the College World Series, beating Georgia 6-1 in the final game.
I just hope the team plane can find the way home through the smoke. We are pretty much on fire.

Congrats to Fresno State! As far as the fires - been there and lived through that. Keep your eye on the wind, the news and your escape path.

If we are going to talk about sport what about Boston winning the N B A yeah about time, and nice to see them playing LA takes me back to the eighties, bet Larry and Majic had front row seats, Good stuff.

I'm not into violence. I prefer the peaceful sports...


basically, anything to do with firearms. Those "sports" that involve inflatable balls tend to be injurious to the health and to provoke outburst of anger amongst both spectators and participants. The only person I'm acquainted with who has been injured by the practice of shooting sports is John Taffin. And that came from indulging in too many rounds of HEAVY handgun ammo being sent down range over the years. Wasn't it Thomas Jefferson who observed something along those lines? Something about a walk with a gun in hand was far more desirous than the ball sports?

Note that I'm expressing a personal opinion there, and if folks want to beat on each other with sticks - that's their business... But I'm a peace loving type of guy - who's willing to fight for his right to be peaceful.
