"Hello! We're glad you made it! Welcome to... THE FUTURE!" -- The Firesign Theatre

#Baseball played on artificial turf is better than no baseball at all. Slightly.

Some things never change.

From "Around the World on a #Bicycle" by Thomas Stevens, 1894

Mick Gillispie and Richie Juliano were the announcers on WKCE for the Knoxville Smokies, and they were a couple of knuckleheads (RJ: "I didn't like school." MG: "Yeah, you've mentioned that before." RJ: "I didn't like it.") so after about an inning and a half of that scintillating repartee, I switched stations to the Rocket City Trash Panda's coverage on WZZN. Announcer Josh Caray was much, much better. Sadly, the Pandas lost 8-7. #MiLB #Baseball

Just to preserve the memory, I scored the #WBC final on paper after the fact this AM, using the MLB online recap. #RubberStamp K for strikeouts, but screwed up the first few strikeouts-looking. Will fill in missing positions later. #WorldBaseballClassic #baseball

Found my Pilot Petit1 blue & red #FountainPens! I had turned them upside down to keep the ink near the nib, & they're so short I couldn't see them.

I have 4 or 5 of these pocket protectors set up so I can change my #EDC when I want to rotate pens. Always the same order R to L, blue and red FPs, gel pen, ballpoint (usually pressurized), pencil, 3D glasses in back.

Today, it's Petit1 x2, Knott's Hotel w/ purple gel refill, Parker Jotter w/ Fisher Space refill, Sun-Star Metacil knock pencil.

Today's scorecard: #WorldBaseballClassic between the Dominican Republic and Israel. Usually, I root for the underdog, but, y'know, it was Israel, and given current events, I wasn't going to be sad when they got their inevitable drubbing. And boy howdy, did they get one: 10-1.

Half listened to the Sirius XM simulcast, which was a minute or two behind the online play-by-play, and which was just TV without images and I doubt the announcers knew or cared it was also going out on radio.

🌎⚾!

I like synchronizing my watches. It's the silver lining of #DST.
