Gasser has faced the 18 batters through 6 innings, that's the minimum number of batters that's possible. A hit and a walk were wiped out by double plays. Amazing job by Gasser. #WorldSeries #Brewers #GoBrewers!

When it comes to the #Brewers and #Rays #WorldSeries, I don't care who the favorite is, I don' care what the odds are, and I don't care what the analysts say. Until the final out is made and one team has 4 wins this series is a toss up. Saying that, #GoBrewers!

I was climbing the trail up Ferry Bluff. I needed a break so I sat down against a retaining wall, when I looked up I was rewarded with this view of the Wisconsin River perfectly framed by the trees. Just one of those unplanned magic moments. #Photo #Picture #Art #Photography #Wisconsin #Autumn

Just a great #Brewers game tonight, they are just relentless. Four more games scheduled and they only need to win 1 to go to the Series, I like their chances a lot!

The #Brewers looking good at the end of 5. Would like to see a couple of insurance runs. Gasser throwing some smoke, hope he can go a couple more innings.

I had the same surgery 2 years ago, as long as the nodule didn't metastisize he should be in great shape. I recovered quickly and I expect he will have the same outcome. He's a White Sox fan, they're tough as nails he'll come through this just fine.

The Vatican says the operation was successful and without complications. Further tests will help determine whether additional treatment is needed.

christianitynow.comPope Leo XIV Diagnosed With Lung Cancer Following SurgeryPope Leo XIV has been diagnosed with lung cancer after undergoing surgery at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital on Tuesday, October 13, the Vatican announced. Doctors removed the lower lobe of his right lung after tissue examined during the operation confirmed lung adenocarcinoma. The 71-year-old pontiff’s doctors said the procedure was completed successfully, with no complications. Leo awoke normally from anesthesia and returned to his hospital room following observation. The operation lasted approximately 90 minutes, although he spent about three hours in the operating room. Vatican News The diagnosis followed the discovery of a small lung nodule during recent medical examinations. Speaking to people gathered for the Angelus on Sunday, Leo disclosed the finding and explained that he had accepted his doctors’ recommendation to undergo surgery. He described the nodule as localized and detected early, thanking the faithful for their support and asking for their prayers. Tests conducted before the operation had raised suspicion of cancer. Tuesday’s examination of tissue during surgery confirmed that diagnosis. The surgical team used a video-assisted technique to remove the affected lobe, according to a statement from the pope’s personal physician, Dr. Luigi Carbone, and surgeon Professor Stefano Margaritora. Additional examinations of the removed tissue are expected in the coming days. Vatican News Although the Vatican reported a successful operation, the information released so far does not establish the cancer’s stage or the pope’s longer-term prognosis. Dr. Stephen Liu, a lung cancer specialist at Georgetown University who was not identified as part of Leo’s treatment team, told Reuters that the tumor’s size and whether lymph nodes are involved are important to assessing treatment and recovery. Reuters The Vatican has not announced a further treatment plan. According to the Associated Press, officials said doctors were awaiting additional test results before discussing chemotherapy or other therapies. That leaves open whether surgery will be sufficient or additional treatment will be recommended. AP News Leo’s audiences have been canceled through October 20. His planned November visit to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru remains uncertain pending his recovery. For now, the next medical updates are expected to address his condition following surgery and the findings from further tissue examinations.

The #Brewers Abner Uribe has the best name in baseball. Abner sounds like he's from Dogpatch and Uribe sounds like he's from Mexico. He is one heck of a pitcher, glad he throws for the Brewers.

This is from a few years ago when I could still climb a bluff. One of the few selfies I've taken, this is at High Cliff State Park on the shores of Lake #Winnebago. It looks more dramatic than it actually was. #Photo #Picture #Art #Photography #Wisconsin #Autumn
