Happy Fourth!

Happy Fourth to all.  With the upcoming election let's all see a renewed spirit, a new vision, peace and prosperity for our young little country.

Since baseball is after all America's past time here a little something for our Chicago Cubs and their series with The Cards this wekend:

Cubs vs Cards

Well if you break this down a bit....

A large furry mammal vs a tiny red-feathered bird.  In total combat, I'm going with the bear.  Sure the bird can fly and all, but still.  Besides, birds fly into windows all the time.  They are easily deceived.  Makes me think that they are not playing with a full deck...thus their nickname..the Cards.  Need I say anymore?

And what about the Arch?  Yea I know it's "The Gateway to the West", but lets get real here.  I think that was a building project gone awry.....simply ran out of funding and materials.  Thus a half circle with a great marketing campaign...some outfit probably hired out of Chicago...."The Gateway to the West".  Now the Sears Tower...that's a fucking building.....steel, iron & concrete with some chutzpah!

Sure St. Louis has ribs, but Chicago has pizza and hotdogs, besides who had the stockyards in the first place...Chicago.  So you add it up, St. Louis has nothing.

St. Louis had some jazz back in the day, but now???  Chicago has Blues baby.  Had it then and has it now.  Always will.  I rest my case.

Turns out, The Cubs did win today - 2-1.

Here are a couple of pics from our recent sailing trip.  Enjoy!
