Today's paper reads, "Go Crazy" in reference to the San Francisco Giants winning the World Series!
Check. I did that last night. I was born in San Francisco so I have birth rights! Actually I was only born in San Francisco because the Kaiser hospital wasn't built in Santa Clara yet. But, that's a small detail. I'm sure plenty of people are calling themselves, "San Franciscans" today! I don't even get into baseball that much. But, I watched this series. I loved all the misfits, and I think it's great that our young pitching staff had such composure and poise. I also like the fact that the "old man" of 35 was the MVP. How fitting! I haven't really followed baseball since the old days of Catfish Hunter, Rollie Fingers, Sal Bando, Reggie Jackson... oh that's the other team on the bay! Yes, I was an Oakland fan years ago.
Anyway, baseball's done and now it's Election Day. I know this because I got an 8:30 a.m. robocall! I've already voted by mail, yet politicians show no mercy. They have to bombard you with emails, voice messages, and campaign literature till you want to hold up your hands and scream, "enough already!"
I got the message. Over and over and over again. I wish some of that money spent could go to substantial programs like feeding the hungry children, or vaccinating, or a million other things besides ending up in my waste basket.
I think the Politicians have Gone Crazy!
So let us rejoice! The Giants are the World Series Champs and I won't have to get campaign literature, emails, and robocalls after today!
They say the Giants were the team of torture! I can say that about the politicians. I vote, I care, but I hate the overkill!
