My cousin Jim on Opening Day

He was in the third row behind home plate, just past the netting on the first base side. I thought I spotted him when I was watching the game, but I wasn't sure. As explained by my cousin Mary-Claire, she got the picture as follows: her friend Joan "slo-mo'd" her TV, took the picture with her phone, and texted it to Mary-Claire, who e-mailed it to herself and uploaded it to Facebook -- where I spotted it, copied it to my hard drive, and uploaded it to the blog.

Mary-Claire wants to know, "What do you think Gram would think of that?!" I think Gram (who was born in the 1890s) would think it was pretty awesome -- once she got past the part about taking a picture with a phone!

Top Gear!!!

Okay, so I've discovered this BBC TV show called Top Gear which is apparently really popular in the UK and I think it's awesome. It's basically just 3 really funny British car experts who travel around the world driving cars. Hard to explain it much more than that, but maybe you guys will enjoy it as much as I do.

This first one is my favorite. They drive a PICK-UP TRUCK to the NORTH POLE.

Then in this one they drive 3 off-road vehicles through the Amazon rainforest and the Andes in Bolivia and Chile.

Kind of hard to describe why the show is so cool. Basically the guys are really funny and get themselves into all kinds of ridiculous situations, the car stuff is cool, and the places that they go are amazing.

Burger King published a full-page advertisement in USA Today announcing the introduction of a new item to their menu: a "Left-Handed Whopper" specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the advertisement, the new whopper included the same ingredients as the original Whopper – lettuce, tomato, and hamburger patty – but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of their left-handed customers.

Who's got the best darned burger in the whole wide world?
Burger King and I!

Two amazing videos

for different reasons . . .

1. But, but, how??



2. I ended up linking to the YouTube page because the video wouldn't embed properly. Just go there and watch it. You might want to mute the music, but the pictures are astounding.

What a Bullshitter sounds like

If you haven't seen Obama's interview with Bret Baier of Fox News, you must. Part one. Part two. Here's Peggy Noonan on the interview.

The guy's a fraud and a phony. His campaign was all about openness, stifling special interests, bipartisanship, blah, blah, blah. Now he's ramming through massive legislation that has none of these things and will only serve to stunt economic growth which is what pays the bills.

I could go on. Why bother?

The best thing ever?

You decide.

Stick around for the falsetto.
