WHEN YOU CAN’T WIN, YOU CAN’T WIN

Blogger ate my post and the Nats lost again
Q&#$?@! Blogger ate my post! That is what I get for getting started a little early. The Wash. Times is having HTML problems too, so I had to look at the source code. Truly, we have reached rock bottom. With this in mind, I think I picked [...]

My sleep last night got interuptted by a power failure and subsequent fire alarm, so I am just going to post [...]
