Hey Michael!

->  HN> I'll take it either way!(grin) We had a great
->  HN> game last night against the twinks, a good
->  HN> pitching duel, hard won hits and a tie score 
->  HN> into the top of the 9th! Playing "small ball" to
->  HN> it's best result, we managed to get runners on 
->  HN> all the bags (the last was via a walk), and a 
->  HN> long sacrifice fly brought in the walk off win! 
-> 
-> Good for you guys. Who got the rbi?
->
John Jaso, our DH for that day and otherwise
catcher (he caught Felix's perfecto). Brendan
Ryan our gold glove shortstop was able to score
on a long sacrifice fly to left field. 

We just swept the Cleveland Indains for
a three game set. It was our 7th win in
a row.  Funny, without Ichiro the team is
seeming to rely more on each other, make 
team play more "visible" and making the 
game more fun again! I'm Liking it!!

I would presume that would be the logical
course...but she was not very logical much
of the time...as evidenced by the Italian
"boy toy" she had on her leash when I knew
her...she mid 50's to mid 60's...he *maybe*
22 or so!
 
->  -> The current reality is not unpleasant by and large.

-> The prices average only (at an estimate) 20% more than
-> the mainland. Remember that our economy has evolved around
-> vast wastage of fuel, with air freight being the norm
-> rather than some notable luxury, with the result that a
-> California fig or orange or head of garlic travels almost
-> exactly the same distance whether sent to Honolulu or Boston.
-> True, transcontinental trucking is an option for many goods,
-> but a surprising amount of stuff gets flown about these days.
->
The sheer volume of supplies far exceeds
the capacity of air transport, and the 
most efficient mode of transport is the
 great big honkin freighter. Once when
I lived in HI there was a longshoreman's 
strike in Long Beach...the immediate result
in Hawaii was a run on the stores and a
great shortage of toilet paper! 
 
->  HN> Weather has finally cooled off a bit (YAY!)
->  HN> highs in the mid 70's and even some high 60's!
-> 
-> Cool! Here on Jamestown we're only a couple degrees past that,
-> plus it's sunny.
->
Sunny here too...bathroom remodel continues
hoping for an end by the end of the week...
slim hope though.
