There's no sales tax in New Hampshire. My friend Lissa's parents go there to load up on booze and other things.

All right, maybe the human race hasn't progressed so much at all.

So let's put all the neo-Luddite NIMBYistic palaver about cell phone towers, toxic chemicals in our food, powerlines causing horrid diseases and other indictments of Science by hippies and other schizos to rest, shall we? All is well

I got a C in golf at Dutchess Community College. I know some people dig it, but I'm with Twain in that it's "a good walk spoiled."

There are some things in life it just doesn't do much good to think about. Man, I could really go for a hot dog right about now.

On occasion, sure. If I really liked them, sometimes things would get "accidentally" deleted.

Was that you in the Duaner Sanchez accident?

Seven years of editing the police page taught me many things, including that cops are pretty dumb, but a lot of criminals are even dumber.

They tried to conceal the odor with dryer sheets.

(AP) - The Atlanta Braves have traded pitcher Jorge Sosa to the St. Louis Cardinals for pitcher Rich Scalamandre. ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - The Texas Rangers finally added a pitcher before the trade deadline Monday when they acquired right-hander Kip Wells from the Pittsburgh Pirates for a minor leaguer. Three days after getting two-time All-Star outfielder Carlos Lee from Milwaukee in a six-player deal, the Rangers landed Wells (1-5, 6.69 ERA in seven starts) for right-hander Jesse Chavez. The Rangers also acquired first baseman-outfielder Matt Stairs from the Kansas City Royals on Monday

We had a giant pot bust last week. Note: It's one thing to send an ounce in the mail, but quite another to try to get 100 lbs. by the postman.

A fine album.

Greg Maddux to the Dodgers. And: The Colorado Rockies have acquired left-hander Jeremy Affeldt and right-hander Denny Bautista from the Kansas City Royals for infielder Ryan Shealy and right-hander Scott Dohmann. A story is upcoming.

I heard about that. They seem to be improved of late.

And the Padres pick up Todd Walker from the Cubs.

I am monitoring the AP. Yanks trade Chacon to Pitt. for Craig Wilson.

Well, the deadline has passed.

Sort of past that phase in my life, thanks.

Their sizes do run a little small, but I find them to be excellent workout shirts.

Hernandez was good for us last year, but I really liked X. Nady. This might mean the return of Lastings Milledge, if he hasn't just been traded to the A's for Zito.

Joan Jett still looks good.

That's a stupid fucking way to lose a player.

In ye olden days of journalism, a shocking story was known as a "bacon-cooler," i.e., that the story would be so stunning the bacon would get cold on the way from the plate to the reader's mouth. Computer wellness vibes to Mademoiselle Y.
