But...I have never owned a Baseball Card in my life. In fact I hate baseball...playing it or watching it!

Now what kind of American hates baseball? Huh...what can I say, I just think it is stupid. I like football though!

Hey Kathleen have you seen Greenwald's new article?

You must be from Europe or Iceland. Not like BB? Baseball is transcendent. Have watched it all my life. Can be a big BB bore if given a chance. Am an ATL Braves fan. The All-Star game was moved from ATL to Denver because MLB did not like GA's new voting laws. The joke in ATL now is that they can't move the WS to Denver. It is an irony. A lot of businesses hurt by moving the All-Star game...I was planning to go. All gone. Now ATL gets WS. I notice that the MLB announcers are calling us Atlanta because they do not want to say "Braves."

I glanced at GG but have been off-line.

I lived in Thomasville Ga. for around 5 years. Moved from San Diego in March 2003 the same night the US bombed Bagdad...it was a transcendental trip, from then to my moving back to Indiana. Thomasville seemed like purgatory to me. It was very much like being on an alien world. I loved the tropical aspect of the place...the jungles and the wildlife. But the people there were so fricking weird...still fighting the Civil War...totally racist whites and subservient blacks. A no Go Zone for me from here on out.

O, they make Tasty Cakes, don't they at Flowers? As a librarian we serve all people and try and like them on the ground.
