Is there anyone home?

Here is my favorite letter to the editor for today:
-----------
"As a Category 5 hurricane was roaring up the Gulf of Mexico heading right toward the populated Gulf Coast regions, our esteemed president was safely relaxing in Air Force One on his way to Rancho Cucamonga to speak to selected seniors about his confusing Medicare drug plan, and then over to Coronado to tell World War II veterans how the mess in Iraq equaled their heroic efforts in Europe and the Pacific. He would have been better off continuing to hide out in his ranch house avoiding Cindy Sheehan.

He missed an important opportunity to meet with the governors of Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi and show how he really cares and is fully engaged in addressing those major emergencies happening right now in our own country."

One question now, where will the New Orleans Saints play their first home game of the season? That is scheduled for September 18th but with the Super Dome in disrepair and most or all of New Orleans in a shambles and being evacuated there will need to be a change in venue. The opponent on that date is the New York Giants. On that date the Miami Dolphins are playing the New York Jets at Giants stadium so that venue is out unless they move that game to Miami. I wonder what the NFL will do?

In the meantime the National League Wild Card race is turning out to be very interesting and could go right down to the wire. As this is written it is a five way race between Florida, Philadelphia, New York, Houston, and Washington. In the meantime over here in the West it is a three way race between NY, Cleveland, and LA Angels.

The A's are now in first place after having won 7 games in a row while the Angels have lost 5 in a row. I hope that trend continues.

Well, this month is about shot and it always seems like when we get to September that the year rushes to a conclusion. I don't know if it because of the dreaded Christmas shopping season or what it is but 2006 will be here before we know it.

Cheers everyone.
