Yah!
First there’s this: The coolest thing to ever happen. Ball One!
The Pirates finally said that Doug Mientkiewicz probably won’t be back next season. About fucking time. Basically all the casual Pirates fans were making a big deal about the Pirates not renewing his contract. It’s really sad that it seems most casual fans are more worried about keeping those washed up bench players like Mienty and a declining SS like Jack Wilson. Ironically none of them seem all that worried about all those draft picks they made last year.
Ok, road trip. I got the Tomtom ready. I got the bottles of pop. I’m gonna make a check list to make sure I take everything with me this time. I’m also gonna make a gas chart so that I know how much gas I use. Last summer I forgot my phone charger when I went to Pittsburgh. It looks like the weather’s gonna be good while I’m gone in both St. Louis and Dubuque. Next Sunday it’s supposed to be 50+ outside in St. Louis. Oh yeah!
Also, the post office is going broke. Oooh, big surprise. Let’s see here, I get all my bills online. If I want to send someone a letter, I use email. I know that it’ll actually be delivered and that it can’t be opened. I actually have a decent spam filter (google does, that is) and if I’m still getting junk mail, usually getting on mailing list somehow, I can usually filter it out myself and all that. Meanwhile, the regular mail, I only get a few real things from them every month. A lot of junk I just throw away. And other crap. I can imagine that in 10 or 15 years, the United States Postal Service will be even more obsolete. Maybe only delivering once a week and only delivering that which can’t be sent online.
