Today looks as though the humidity will return, that means a sticky day on tap but it could be worse, it could be over 90 degrees. In sports, not a good day for the Yankees who lost to 1st place Baltimore 3-2 in 11 innings. The Yanks seem to be playing a lot of extra inning ball games lately and thats not good for the pitching staff. Toronto also won beating Tampa Bay 8-5 , so the Yanks trail the Orioles by 5 games and the Blue Jays by 2. The Mets were triumphant over the Marlins 7-1. The Mets are 6-4 over the last 10 games. Beth Zygmunt Frank I agree that not much has changed in politics over the course of our countrys history except that in the past as corrupt as a politician might have been it was always America first. Now with every politician that is elected getting rich from deals made with lobbyists it is everything ahead of America for personal gain. A politician is the lowest form of life!. That is it for the rant, Ill say no more, but thanks to all for trying to cheer me up. Try to stay indoors if you can, the higher the humidity the tougher to breathe because the air is heavier. Dress lightly (within the bounds of law) and as always keep safe and keep smiling!
