good talk

Cleveland was founded in 1796 on Lake Erie and it quickly became a transportation hub on the Great Lakes which has 15% of the World's drinkable Fresh Water.  I went to the World Class Cleveland Museum of Art which had a fabulous and extensive Rembrandt Exhibition, Cleveland has always been at the fore in the Arts.  I saw the Indians play the Texas Rangers losing 5-2 on Adrian Beltre's pinch-hit Home Run in the llth.  As a door prize they gave you a Chris Perez Replica Jersey which any other Stadium would be selling for $100 or more.  Chris Perez himself a few days Denounced the Cleveland Fans for their weak attendance and rightly so, Indians Stadium is easy to get to unlike Kansas City's (they had the All Star Game there?)  I walked there from downtown.  Being a Cleveland Fan is an Exercise in Patience as no Cleveland Professional Team has won a Championship since the Browns beat the Colts December 27, 1964.  I was outside the Horseshoe Casino which was to open in a few days they were running ads on TV saying that Clevelanders should be proud of their Casino and go to it.  This National Mania for Gambling is very bad as many people can't handle it, like that guy in The Sopranos (I know my Luck is going to change).
