good talk

Prior to stepping-into the batter's box, to begin the 7th Game of the 1991 World Series between the Twins and Braves (See My Blog for Oct. 31, 2016), Braves lead-off hitter, Lonnie Smith, who had hit 3 home runs in the Series, turned and extended his hand to Twins Catcher, Brian Harper, who stood, and they shook hands, to begin the deciding-game of this most-beautiful of World Series, the only-time anyone has ever seen this.  I saw "Kingsman:The Golden Circle" at, you know, the place (pretty good, "American Made" was, also), and in it they show actual "Fox Newscasters" saying made-up news to jibe with what's going-on in this movie, isn't that the same as the Fox Newscasters are willing to say anything, even if they know it's not true?  Sure it is.  My laptop-battery ran-down thrice recently at Clark County Nevada Libraries, and I couldn't figure-out why, as my laptop was plugged-in to their Internet, that is, it went from 100% charged, what it always had been, down to 17% charged.  I went to "Best Buy", and we couldn't figure it out.  Then I found-out, that half of the Internet-Outlets at the CC Libraries don't work, you plug-in your laptop thinking it's maintaining it's full-charge, only to find-out that the Internet-Socket that you've plugged-into could well not work at-all, damaging the taxpayers' expensive batteries.  Recently, I was told that there's to be a Dumb Bastard Contest here in Las Vegas, and that all the library-employees have entered, knowing they'll be competitive
