Observations

I LOVE baseball... was I unhappy that Team USA got no further than they did in the WBC? No, 'cause I never thought the prima donnas couldn't get their act together enough to get any further. I mean, hockey-heaven Canada beat them for God's sake; and I think Korea and Japan were using them for practice. And, I can't imagine what the result would have been if they had played and lost to Cuba ... W probably would have gone looking for WMDs again. Anyway, congrats to Japan, the keepers of our national game; those guys really play the game with skill and attention to the details. I really enjoyed watching them, and the Koreans play the game the way it should be played.

Formula 1 has completed two races, and it looks like Renault is this year's class act ... again. That's OK, I just hope McLaren is working to improve . Of course, it wasn't Kimi's fault he never completed a lap, due to getting punted by Klein. It could have been interesting with him going head to head with the Renaults though. On to Oz.

Will the new Secretary of Interior be any better than Norton? I am not holding my breath. Oh, how I wish I could retire... politics has come to rule management of NWRs, and it just makes me sick.
