There's poor weather in LA?

Quite often. Never heard of the "June Gloom"? Low overcast along
the coastal shelf that usually (but not always) burns off by noon.
I've seen it solid for a week. Not just June, but much of the
year. Not Just L.A. either, but the entire west coast. Gets
worse the further North you go.

Beats thunderstorms and hurricanes, though.

Not in my book.

I'll take spotty, easily circumnavigated popcorn storms (which is what we
get in the Midwest) over a solid, low overcast, any day.

Of course, I like your temperatures better, at least from now through next
April!

Yeah, but we don't get earthquakes, mudslides, forest fires, or riots up
here in New England, either. Though if the Red Sox manage to beat the
Yankees, all bets are off...

Lucky for you there's no chance of that. There's a better chance the
Packers will make the playoffs. See those Vikes last night Jay? 605
yards of offense. Once the defense heals up it will be a machine.

After Saturday night's bloodbath I didn't think there was a chance either,
but that's turning around. The bullpen is getting its job done and all we
need is one or two of our stronger hitters that have gone cold to wake up
and we'll be back. We did sweep the Yanks 4-0 twice this season, mind you,
so it can be done. A lot hinges on what Schilling's ankle does tonight. If
he can pitch 5-6 good innings we'll take it to game 7 at least.

Then again, I'm a lot more concerned about the Nov. 2nd series these days,
and I ain't rootin' for the home team...

I was referring to home as in Boston. But now that you mention it, the
Democrats ought to change their name to the "Let's Turn America Into Europe"
Party.

I watched the Sunday Night Vikings game too, but can't recall - was that 605
yards of offense ours or the Saint's? g

Don't be surprised if Minnesota gains 750 yards against Indy on Monday Night
Football (Nov 8th) ....and doesn't win the game.

Footballs will be flying that night!!!

There are two things in this world you can bank on:

1. The Cubs will collapse late in the season
2. The Vikings will lose the big games.

They are forever cursed (and rightfully so) for moving their football
indoors. Bud Grant, Fran Tarkenton, and the Purple People Eaters were THE
definitive Minnesota team, from a proud by-gone era.

Worse, it's just GOT to drive those guys crazy to watch the antics of losers
like Randy Moss, defaming the once-proud Vikings.

Allow me to say, "har har!" Perhaps I should place my bets on the Packers
now?

It is a zoo in Boston tonight. crowds well into the tens of thousands
roaming the city like packs of drunken orangutans, the whole situation five
minutes away from complete riots. And it will only get worse...
