Yeah, but you guys are even at 4-4 and are in second
place, and the Sox are at the bottom of the majors at 1-5,
worse even than Cleveland.

It's at the not-quite-top-never-been-and-never-will-get-there
level that many of the real ego offenses occur. Having operated
on that level in several arenas I've seen a lot of that. Probably
been guilty of same, too.

Good one. In this land of numbers it's often forgotten
that a good junkball pitcher is worth his weight in
fastball pitchers.

When in England with Carol B we noticed that though
officially everything is in metric, the speed limits
are usually in mph, but when you cross over into Wales
or Scotland or such, you get confused. I bet there are
bunches of pounds wasted at these borders, disappearing
into the pockets of the local magistrates and constabulary.

I really don't go to San Diego much; once in a while Lilli
and I will meet there (or Washington or Boston) for the start
of one of our adventures, but as far as going out on the
economy goes, never, well, hardly ever, and much less now
that the United and American clubs serve free booze - it
used to be worth it to go outside security for cheap beer
and barbecue, but now cheap McDonald's and free beer seems
to be a better deal, especially factoring in the rapescan,
no matter how polite the TSA creatures are.
