Exhibit at the League Park museum in Cleveland. @bbl-astrophyscs.bsky.social thought of you.

Female house finch making her annual visit to eat seeds on our balcony. Last year the couple brought a fledgling, so this could be her.

Baseball reference and history in one bookcase. Cookbooks by the kitchen (duh). Historical fiction and mysteries around and under the coffee table. Non-baseball reference (fix-it, bird guides, beer guides) another bookcase. Books I wrote on one shelf. Within a category? Just where it fits!

I can sympathize with the team on this one--the weather forecasts have changed so often throughout today that it's hard to say whether they should announce something or not.

I witnessed and wrote about Max Scherzer's base-stealing escapades. Worth the too-cold and too-hot weather to witness some history! sabr.org/gamesproj/ga... sabr.org/gamesproj/ga...

They come and eat my zinnia (and other) seeds every year. I have a good crop of zinnias this year so I expect them again. Lucy the cat will be very excited when they arrive (she's not allowed outside, but she can dream).

Craig, I have a "driving back from Vermont" story that I'd like to contribute to CoC for Monday. It involves a deceased relative with some unusual "assets," a Mercedes with a trunk full of guns, and a Unitarian minister who happened to be my mother. If you're interested, how should I submit?

Celosia coming on strong.

Gazanias are so sharp!

Now with identity: Cleome or Spiderflowers.

A lady in Lyon Park (Arlington VA) gave me these seeds last year and they're thriving. Anyone know what they are?

In the years I lived in New Orleans, Bastille Day was definitely recognized there as well (we're talking about New Orleans, so (a) French connection and (b) any reason for a party or parade).

Thanks to Patrick Hope's distribution of zinnia seeds, I have a nice crop this year.

Stopped by the Field of Dreams. There was a game going on. She legged out a single.

Johnny Vander Meer’s back-to-back no-hitters. To break that, someone would have to pitch three in a row!

Retired CPA here. Not a tax advantage, in most cases. The benefit is a body of favorable and dependable corporate law, and specialized courts experienced in complex business matters.

The Postal Service issued a stamp sheet of that window. First full sheet in my stamp collection. Thanks for the memory!

Thanks for the heads' up--I'm always in on strong mustard, and "strong Irish mustard" would be a new one for me. Should make an excellent grilled cheese with an Irish cheese.

Pulling out my Canada 150 t-shirt again!🫎🍁
