Red Sox Win Game Three
Backed with some good fielding and hitting, Pedro Martinez shut down the Cardinals and pitched the Sox into a 3-0 lead in the World Series. This is the beginning of the end of "The curse of the Bambino."

Despite some pitiful defense, the Red Sox offense has them up in the first game of the series that will end forever "The curse of the Bambino." Remember you read it here.

Red Sox Win 7th Game and ALCS
"Other sports dream of a great rivalry like this. Now there is a new twist to the old story. The Red Sox have staged the greatest comeback in the history of postseason baseball.
"For the tormented region called Red Sox Nation, what makes this feat roughly 10 times sweeter is that they did it to the Yankees. They did it to their rivals."
(George Vecsey, The New York Times, 10/21/2004)

"Why even bother trying to explain your endorsement of President Bush? The Tribune would endorse a dead chicken for president if it were running Republican."

Red Sox victory must be noted
The Red Sox victory over the Yankees last night in game six of the ALCS is a baseball milestone. No team in history ever come back from three games down in a seven game series to force the seventh game. It is a remarkable baseball event and must be noted here. A win tonight will be - for me - almost as good as winning the Powerball lottery.

Endorsement
The New York Times (Kerry) and The Chicago Tribune (Bush) have each endorsed a candidate for president, so it is time for me to chime in. For me it is an easy choice. I believe as Senator John Kerry does that: America is strongest when we seek out and work with allies around the world; the country was rushed to war in Iraq and had no plan (and has none) to secure the peace; parts of the Patriot Act diminsh our personal freedom and rights; Social Security ought not to be privatized and trimming the deficit is an absolute must. Also, Senator Kerry went back for and saved Jim Rassman's life in Vietnam, honoring the principle set by General Sherman who once wrote to General Grant that if he were in trouble on the battlefield he was confident Grant would come for him. This kind of courage goes a long way with me. I urge a vote for Senator Kerry on November 2.

Watch Charleston's Newest Bridge Grow
Curtesy of C. Frank Starmer at Medical University in Charleston, you can click on this link: http://monitor.admin.musc.edu/~cfs/bridge/ and watch the growth of Charleston's latest bridge spanning the Cooper River. A truly magnificent series of pictures which hopefully will continue until the bridge is built.

Google Scores Again
Today Google released its Desktop Search Engine. I have downloaded, installed and used it already. It is a remarkable (and free) product that will index the e-mail and files on your personal computer and permits you to search for anything you need. I found it to be a carbon copy of the wider known Google search program that does for your personal data what Google does for the rest of the cyberspace universe. You can get the program at www.desktop.google.com . Compared to another program I have been using, Google is light years ahead. PCWorld magazine came today and has an article on desktop search engines but does not mention this Google product. Try this before spending money.

Comments on the last two comments...
You are absolutely right on both. (A lady in S.C.)
Thank you for the note...you'll forgive me my impertinence by respectfully disagreeing, however. After all, but for "foreign born" still being Constitutionally barred from running for president...just think, the genius of the administration of that greatest of presidents, Richard M. Nixon (my hero)...the legendary Dr. Henry Alfred Kissinger, could one day finally get his due and finally be addressed as, "Mr. President", instead of "Your Exalted Excellency"!!! (A man in Maryland/Virginia area.)
Well, I disagree on this one -- our parents weren't born here. And I remember thinking Henry Kissinger would have made a good president, if only he could have run. But I do agree about the shopping carts! (A lady in S.C.)

Be born here...
If you want to be President you ought to have been born here. The current hearings in the U.S. Senate on legislation to amend the Constitution to make foreign born citizens eligible for the highest office in the land ought to go for naught. Save something for the native born.

Want to be....
A good Christian, Muslim or Jew? Put the damn shopping carts back in the corral in the parking lot instead of leaving them sitting around blocking parking spaces and or potentially damaging arriving autos.
