The Red Sox lost last night

And it only took them nine innings to do it.

Oh, and when I say "lost", I mean they handed the game to the Rays on a silver platter.

The defense made two errors and gave up three unearned runs. Since the final score of the game was 4-3, if they hadn't made those errors, they probably would have won the game.

They play the final game of their series this evening. First pitch is at 7:10.


Not much else going on in the news worth talking about. I'm sick of hearing about the UMass protesters, I'm sick of hearing about the Trump trial and I'm sick of hearing about global warming.

What I want to talk about is four-way stop signs.

I am under the distinct impression that they don't talk about four-way stop signs in drivers ed anymore. They completely gloss over the three simple rules that come into play at a four-way stop.
  1. All vehicles must stop.
  2. When there are two vehicles stopped at the line, the vehicle that arrived first has the right of way.
  3. If two vehicles arrive at the line at the same time, the vehicle to the right has the right of way.
Those are some pretty simple rules so I have to ask, why does it seem like no one knows them?

I go through at least four different intersections that are controlled by four-way stop signs and man, the number of people that I see who don't know how they work is amazing. They either blow through the stop sign like it didn't apply to them or they stop and refuse to move out of fear.

Simple rules people. Follow them and we'll all get home undamaged.


My wife has put her hanging flower baskets out for this year and once again, the Orioles have discovered the fiber baskets she uses.


I'm going to go fire up the grill and cook some burgers for dinner.

After that, I'm going to watch baseball.
