What you didn't think about, was what the poster clearly said....on the field

"""I just came back from a baseball game.....every kid on the field was on the verge of having a stroke. Ridamndiculous."""

You're batting .000 today...

It WAS humid and hot today, I think it's close to a record high. This does suck if this is Spring...but it's going to cool down a teeny bit next week. Counting down the days 'till late Fall....

And RD, they are turning people away at KFC if they are using the coupon...I went at 3pm and there was a line of people filling out rain checks. All this trouble for a $4-5 meal? Well, I guess anything helps in this current financial crisis. Funny thing is, all the people wasting $5 of gas trying to get to KFC...

You must have missed the line that said:

That reminds me ...

Probably did...because it had nothing to do with what the poster was speaking of. I'll lay off you now...you've had enough.

The quickest way to lose water is to lose trees. In living memory, the best examples are the Amazon rain forrest and Israel. Israel used to be lush green until it got denuded of its trees by farming and development. That's what started the "Plant a tree in Israel" movement that began, I believe, in the 60's. It was to try and regain the rain lost. Trees clean the air and generate rain, and then help prevent runoff of that rain. They also give you shade to park under. Nothing hotter than parking your car midsummer in the middle of a concrete parking lot with no trees. Trees are perfection. I am, of course, recommending indigenous trees rather than transplants that don't belong there and require extraordinary measures to keep alive, like excess water.

It was crAAAzzy hot today and Im sure at that point the kids would have liked a friggin tree in the middle of the field. They all looked like tomatoes by the time the game was over.....oh and my son's team is the Giants, the uniform is all black. Niiiiiice.

Is he on the T-Ball Giants? If so...your son's team beat the snot out of my son's team today (ya know...not that they keep score in T-Ball or anything... ).

[perticusrex]

He is - but Im sure its not the same Giants, they played an all girls team - and they got served!

I'm feeling some heat on my head, ears, neck, and upper arms. I do not like heat and SA voters at all..

We're going to the Missions game tomorrow afternoon. Maybe the players will all hold umbrellas for the heat.
