Happy 4th of July !

How to Begin the 4th
Lisa and I began the 4th at a movie -- Superman Returns. I thought it was pretty good, especially the special effects. Kevin Spacey is a pretty good Lex Luthor, also. Lisa wonders when I'm going to reveal my true identity and fly her away to my Fortress of Solitude.

Formula 1
I think McLaren should begin to concentrate on the new car for the 2007 season. Renault & Ferrari are clearly the best, and right now, I wouldn't bet against Schumacher taking another championship.

Braves' Agony
I just can't imagine how the veteran Braves must be feeling - to be clearly so bad this year. The farm system apparently continues to turn out quality position players, but the pitching has just vanished. I also suspect it is hard for them to trade for a good pitcher, as other teams don't want to give them anything.

Cool Alaska Summer
It has been a cool, mostly cloudy summer, so far. Is it payback for the recent gloriously warm and sunny summers, or just back to "normal".
