Flocking To Texas -- July 24, 2024

Locator: 48226ARCHIVES. 

Rambling while watching the NY Mets beating the NY Yankees (again, twice in two consecutive evenings). Holy mackerel! If you are a Mets fan, you're loving this. Top of the eighth, one out, and three-run homer making it 11 - 2. Still in the eighth inning, a sacrificial fly makes it 12 -2. The inning, mercilessly for the Yankees, finally comes to an end.

Apple: several times during the game, the announcer mentioned that the players and coaches go back to their iPads to review replays -- Apple iPads specifically mentioned. 

Now this, from MacRumors:

A reader sent me this without comment: something suggests to me that Jonathan Haidt has a dysfunctional family and he wants to blame it on the iPhone. I don't buy it.

Not sure why this was "breaking news." It's been scheduled for several days. I don't understand why Biden only spoke from the Oval Office on four occasions.

More and more it's looking like Vance was absolutely the wrong choice. Link here.

Top of the list on Kamala Harris' short list: a US Senator from Arizona. And that guy can take on both Trump and Vance. 

New York Times, link here. How does one say Vance was the wrong choice without saying Vance was the wrong choice. Meanwhile, all of a sudden Trump's candidacy is looking old (haven't we seen this twice before?) and all of a sudden Trump looks like he may have Bidenitis.

Indian Territory

Indian Territory --> Oklahoma.

It's amazing North Dakota, South Dakota, or major pieces of each state didn't become "another" Oklahoma. See chapter three, Prairie Man: The Struggle Between Sitting Bull and Indian Agent James McLaughlin, Norman E. Matteoni, c. 2015.

I'm thinking of reading Man of La Mancha in Spanish.
