I don’t have much in the way of news today. It seems to be something of a slow-news weekend, plus I was out at the ballpark again last night, rather than surfing for some more links. But it’s supposed to be an awfully nice day out today, so maybe you should get outside and enjoy the weather. I’m going to try to.
Last night was our PETA gathering at the ballpark. Pictures will follow, probably tomorrow, once I’ve had a chance to sort them out. It was a pretty good time, and I got appropriately inappropriate comments (Oh my God! That’s a huge wiener you’ve got, Dave!
) when I threw my 12 inch long chunk of krakowska onto the grill. It’s hard to tell from the photo, but the stuff is about as big around as my wrist. Everyone enjoyed the grub, and even though I didn’t eat more than two or three bites of any one thing, I was stuffed. Good times.
- I should have mentioned this yesterday, since I heard about it Friday night, but there was nothing to link to until today, and I didn’t get the details until yesterday afternoon, when the Trickster called me. Ray Your Vendor, RIP (if the link doesn’t work on the first try, just try it a second time, or scroll down to “Vavrosky, Raymond F.” on this page. There’s something wacky with their server). Last night at the Saints game, they dedicated the seventh inning stretch to Ray. We’ll miss you, Ray. Hope the fishing is good wherever you are. Update: I missed the article ‘Ray, Your Vendor’ dies at 76 earlier in the day.
- Joel Rosenberg talks about a Neighborhood Meeting in a neighborhood that’s been seeing a lot of crime. It’s interesting to see how the various politicians are dancing around the problem.
- Over at The Usual Suspects, Timmy Ramone pointed out the article: Police slap cuffs on Punk SMSer. I’ve thought about it a couple times, but am torn on what bothers me the most: the fact that they took someone away in handcuffs to question him about a SMS, or the fact that the police in the UK are monitoring all the messages.
