I wasn't planning on being interested in the World Series this year, but then I remembered Mookie Betts' radiant smile when he met The Dictator last year.

Now is the time to catch the good trees at Elm Park. Pretty soon the only trees with leaves will be lame-o trees.

A reminder that this guy is famous for not paying tradespeople.

Trump on Harvard: "We reached a concept of a deal but it's pretty complicated bc under this deal it would be $500m, they're gonna open up trade schools. I love the idea of trade & trade schools by Harvard. You know, they get into like a vocational-type school... we may just charge them a $500m fine"

Do any of the betting websites have a line on the Pres receiving an extravagant gift from a foreign head of state containing the stolen jewels from the Louvre within the next few weeks? My exact prediction is a WWE-style belt.

The crowd was bigger to the right of my photo. Lots of people lining Salisbury St. cheering on honking traffic and DJ.

I watched Magnolia last night for the first time in 25 years and it occurred to me that in real life, Tom Cruise's character would now be the head of the National Council of the Humanities or something.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right)
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy?
What the hammer that hath hewn it
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee,
Or an external franchisee?

Hot dog coat-of-arms, created for the 50th anniversary of the invention of the hot dog, at Coney Island in 1939. Shows a hot dog being knighted, flanked by two wiener dogs, crowned by mustard. (They took some liberties with the Latin, but do you expect a hot dog place to have an in-house Latinist?)

Drawing of a heraldic device consisting of an escutcheon with a hot dog being knighted by a man, in place of standard helmet is a jar of mustard, labeled "sinapi," supported by two wiener dogs on either side. Banderole below reads "CALIDUS CANIS"
