Oct 2015

yesterday when I pointed out that something like 78 point something percent of TVs in the Kansas City metro area were tuned in to the games, compared with only about a quarter of the TV sets in NYC. I also pointed out the extremely good natured quality of the Royals fans. Heck, a friend of mine from back there (I live in New Mexico now) who has been a die-hard Yankees fan for at least thirty years, and who said, once they were out, that she simply didn't care about the Series. But now she's posting all sorts of good and supportive comments about the Royals on her Face Book page.

My sister is coming to town today, on her way to Tucson, and since I don't own a TV, and can't watch live streaming (which totally sucks) we'll be spending the evening in a bar.
