9-21-07 SHORT HILLS: Sorry about lack of recent posts, but there hasn’t been much to comment on here. The weather has been cooler and drier as we creep up to the equinox on the 23rd. I have done a bit more weeding and pruning. As the sun gets lower, the yard and house get darker and darker until the leaves fall. The tops of some of the trees show some fall color even here in NJ.
The surge report was another administration spin-cycle. It doesn’t matter if there are less attacks while the troops are in a particular trouble spot, as soon as they move on the insurgency will pop up again. It’s just a ‘Whack-a-Mole’ game in a bigger arcade. The military have to leave sooner than later, and when they do, the militants, terrorists, insurgents and sectarian fanatics will come out of the ground like creatures in some horror movie. Speaking of Move On, they got it right.
On a more serious note, the Mets have totally collapsed. If pitching and defense win baseball games and seasons, the Mets have lost both. The middle relief has been suspect all summer, but now the starters are unreliable and the closer is out. The errors are piling up and turned yesterday’s comeback win into a loss. How ‘bout those tantrums? Feeling the pressure? This team won’t make it to the post season.
Judy and I are off to San José for a weekend visit after a September of doctor visits and tests.
