The Red Sox and the Yankees begin a three-game set tonight in Fenway Park which will decide the Division race for the year. Yanks have good pitching and hitting at this time and the Sox have mediocre pitching and no so consistent hitting. None the less, hopes run high in the Red Sox Nation. It will be written in the wind by Sunday night.

Hurricane Names
CNN said on its web site today:
"The largest number of named storms ever recorded was 21 in 1933, a record that will be broken if just seven more storms develop in the next 12 weeks. And if that happens, the hurricane center will run out of names...
"The letters Q, U, X, Y and Z aren't used, because few names begin with those letters, so the 21st and last name on this year's hurricane list is Wilma."
How about Quentin (as in Tarantino), Ulysses (S. Grant), Xavier (Cugat), Yogi (Bera) and Zeus, (the youngest son of Cronus and Rhea, he was the supreme ruler of Mount Olympus and of the Pantheon of gods who resided there.)
See there, simple.

Waiting for a Leader
Editorial - The New York Times
Published: September 1, 2005
George W. Bush gave one of the worst speeches of his life yesterday, especially given the level of national distress and the need for words of consolation and wisdom. In what seems to be a ritual in this administration, the president appeared a day later than he was needed. He then read an address of a quality more appropriate for an Arbor Day celebration: a long laundry list of pounds of ice, generators and blankets delivered to the stricken Gulf Coast. He advised the public that anybody who wanted to help should send cash, grinned, and promised that everything would work out in the end.
