Busy at work again. Wednesday night I worked past six. Had written a note to remind me to stop for gas on the way home. Car was showing about 60 miles of gas remaining. Called Ceil, who said M was cooking burgers. When I remembered I needed gas I had already passed the last station on my route. Could’ve changed my route, but decided to wait until morning.
M had bought some good, tasty ground beef, with more fat than Ceil usually likes to eat. He baked fries as well. Saw final jeopardy. Before going to bed early we saw on the news at Russia had attached Ukraine.
Was almost to work this morning when I remembered I needed gas. Was down to 14 miles on the counter. Filled up for $3.229 per gallon. Now I hear its already up to over $3.45. Damn those Russians. That’s it, I’m going to start working from home.
They’re still filming BASECAMP over by the river. Now Will says they’re filming near him as well. Just learned its the filming of the new Beany Baby movie. And a mayo commercial is being filmed at Atlantic Station. From now on I'll be in the know.
Last night Anna ate at Kimball House in downtown Decatur, a fancy place hard up by the MARTA tracks. Seafood.
According to caddie Stevie Williams, when Tiger Woods was first to play the new Nike ball, he had a distinct advantage over his fellow competitors.
MIKE HAMPTON [B-R Bio] was once traded from the Mariners to the Astros. After debuting in SEA, he was traded to HOU in the 1993-1994 offseason. In high school, Hampton was recruited as a defensive back for football powerhouses Notre Dame, Miami & Florida State. He struggled with multiple elbow and shoulder surgeries throughout his career. Missed two full seasons in 2006 & 2007. Was expected to miss all of 2010 but came back for exactly 4-2/3 innings with Arizona. His lone World Series start was notable for a throw by the other pitcher. Hampton was the starter in Game 2 in the 2000 WS (his only season with NYM), when Roger Clemens threw a broken bat in the direction of Mike Piazza.
During the 2016 presidential election campaign, Politico.com published an article titled “Donald Trump is Shocking, Vulgar…” Accurate points were made. Warning: language in the article is rated PG-13. An excerpt:
“You read surveys that indicate the majority of Christian conservatives support Trump, and then you see the video: Trump on stage with pastors, looking pained as they pray over him, misidentifying key books in the New Testament, and in general doing a ludicrous imitation of a faithful Christian, the least holy roller ever. You wonder as you watch this: How could they be that dumb? He’s so obviously faking it. They know that already. I doubt there are many Christian voters who think Trump could recite the Nicene Creed, or even identify it. Evangelicals have given up trying to elect one of their own. What they’re looking for is a bodyguard, someone to shield them from mounting (and real) threats to their freedom of speech and worship. Trump fits that role nicely, better in fact than many church-going Republicans. For eight years, there was a born-again in the White House. How’d that work out for Christians, here and in Iraq?”
