I am conflicted, too, GV, we are in the kingdom of Tonga, and will soon cross the international date line, again, so it will be Wednesday when it is Tuesday there. Should I read the Wed. Paper and tell you the Mets',score before Tues night? Is it ethical? Have I been drinking to much fermented coconut juice? Go Mets and Go GV

Ed, I am sure you have had too much fermented coconut juice, but I would suggest you follow the games via the Internet at a Starbucks.
Not sure about international datelines. I once got a Super Bowl result while on a runway in India. Seems very far away. Enjoy. GV

HA ha. I'm sorry I'm not so much in baseball, but the first comment just made me laugh. Stop drinking fermented coconut juice!)) And come on, it's the era of internet.

(Why We Still Hunker)
“….this is really an old person’s disease now. That was true at the beginning of the outbreak, but it’s becoming even more true now. It’s quite possible that we’ll see increasing relative vulnerability among the old, which is to say people who are in middle age are going to feel pretty safe living a totally normal life. But people of their parents’ generation may not ever. That’s because they have a much harder time building up immunity, which means they lose the benefits of the vaccines and previous exposure much more quickly.

Should Donald Trump Be Prosecuted?
Rep. Liz Cheney, on ABC TV:
“Ultimately, the Justice Department will decide that. I think we may well as a committee have a view on that and if you just think about it from the perspective of what kind of man knows that a mob is armed and sends the mob to attack the Capitol and further incites that mob when his own vice president is under threat, when the Congress is under threat. It's just -- it’s very chilling and I think certainly we will, you know, continue to present to the American people what we found.”
