OK, easy on the venom

I'm going back to Chicago Ridge to watch Ring of Honor in June. Fifth row, ringside seat. Since we're all wrestling fans here and we know it's real, I will give you, my followers, the rundown on the card as the date of June 24 approaches.

Mets go for the series win against SF today. Brian Bannister against Matt Morris. Hopefully Bannister can get into the seventh inning. Mike Pelfrey got called up to Double A Binghamton. Hopefully he will take Zambarno's roster spot by August.

Gas in the city of Chicago is 3.29. I can still get away with 2.89 in the burbs. But explain this to me. This is from CNN.
"Lujan's 20 trucks roam the busy freeways of Orange and Los Angeles counties as part of a publicly funded patrol that gives a free gallon of gas to drivers who have run out of fuel. It also offers other basic assistance to drivers whose vehicles have broken down." A free gallon of gas. So what are drivers doing? They're deliberately running out of fuel on the freeway and waiting for assistance! They figure it's cheaper. Once it hits 4 dollars, that'll be the truth.

Music lineup for Naperville Ribfest: Doobie Brothers, Charlie Daniels, REO Speedwagon, Three Dog Night (minus Chuck Negron) Steepwater (local band). Not too shabby.

Joke from George Wallace, who I think is excellent. George Bush wants to build a wall on the Mexican border to keep the immigrants out. (I should point out, won't that also keep the illegal immigrants in?!) This wall on Mexico is never going to work. First of all, think about this, who is going to be building it???? There'll be a couple of holes in that wall, you know the Mexicans know how to get them in there.
