Opening Day & Stuff
It’s around one in the morning here in the islands, and I’m watching Opening Day baseball on ESPN2. First game of the year is being played in Tokyo, with the New York Yankees versus the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. I don’t want to jinx anything, but I think this may finally be the year for the Cubs. Fingers are crossed. Now, somebody get me a hotdog before I die!
In other news…
* Yesterday, I went to a yard sale that a neighbor of mine is having. She is moving to Ohio to care for her mother, so she is selling all of her possessions with the exception of her tv. Half of her things I can’t use, and the other half I can’t afford. She did have a nice desk, but it was a little pricey. She does have a patio filled with plants, so I was able to get a five foot palm for only five dollars, and a couple of other plants for a dollar each.
* I see that the latest national poll shows President Bush ahead of Senator John Kerry. It’s still early, so I imagine the polls will fluctuate with time. Despite the polls, I must say that I am completely disappointed in the republicans that continue to back Bush. These same republicans were so quick to criticize President Clinton on anything and everything under the guise of patriotism and decency. Where is the anger now as Bush destroys everything he touches? Where is the outrage for all the Bush lies? The next time there is a democrat in the White House (and there will be a next time) I don’t want to hear a single word of complaints from republicans. In my opinion, they have lost all of their credibility in their support of Bush.
