They have scheduled a season, according to the commissioner, that will start approximately one month from today. Its kind of approximate, because, you know, its something they hope to do. But things could get in the way between now and then, so there might or might not be major league baseball. Well kind of know when we get there. It will be an unusual season no matter how it turns out. I feel like every plan in my life has that asterisk on it right now. Like, im thinking that at some point ill need to get new contact lenses in approximately 110 days. I dont know, maybe i can start wearing them for three days at a time.

That is of course the area that saw that horrible race massacre 99 years ago in about three weeks. Theyre headed back there which is frankly good news. Its taken the temperature down a lot here. We were concerned about those two groups meeting after the president s rally. It happened very briefly. There was about a tenminute moment where they sort of clashed.
