Fascists defeated in Brazil and Serbia. Today is a good day.

Both teams in the World Series this year have never won the Series. There are currently 5 such teams, so in a little over a week, there will be only 4. Current non-winners in the AL: Tampa Bay and Seattle. In the NL: Milwaukee, Colorado and San Diego. SD is the oldest team on the list.

I regret to inform you that the Pagliacci/Taco Time Pizza is actually pretty good.

Rays/Brewers is likely Fox's nightmare World Series matchup and I'm here for it.

Frog Sauna for good, or for awesome!

Good news for my quest to see all of Shakespeare's extant works performed, as this increases the chances of Edward III being performed. It's a strong play, definitely one of the best of his works not in the First Folio. www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

For the last time this year, it's lunchtime playoff baseball!

It was a fall gardening day. Took out the old raspberry canes and fertilized them. I weeded the front bed, took out the remaining lettuce and thinned the arugula. Then I fertilized the area past the arugula and planted next year's garlic. Also (not pictured) took the netting off the grapes.

Record tying playoff performance by the Yankees in the bottom of the first. Most team errors in an inning, that is.

Holy shit.
