I don’t remember a single incident of fisticuffs caused by the pitcher throwing at the batter in my day. We had a more subtle way of handling the hurler. There were very few bean-ball pitchers then. Dutch Leonard and Carl Mays were a couple. When they threw at my head, I would drag a bunt down the first base line. Then when the first baseman came in to field it, the pitcher ran over to cover first. And I would run right over the pitcher. He knew the situation then.

Alright, fine, maybe bunting isn’t such a bad strategy.

That’s a fire. You could see it from the train, it looked terrifying. Summer is here, I guess. View high resolution

haven’t been Bike Journaling here lately

I should get back on that, but for now, you should know that I definitely failed to ride up a huge canyon yesterday and had to walk the last hundred or so vertical feet to the summit, and a guy pulled over to ask if there was something wrong with my bike, and I was like “no, I’m just from Illinois and can’t make it up this hill”

probably gonna have a couple more rides like that this summer but it’s totally worth it

hello

I will be in Chicago for ALA from June 28th to July 1st. I don’t know how much time there will be on my social calendar, but let me know if you want to get in on it. Otherwise, a good place to find me would be Windy City Soul Club that Saturday night

Also MBV have played like 600 east coast dates since they got back together; anyone who’s seriously upset that they’re playing Colorado for once instead of doing yet another show in New York should get at least three really painful paper cuts this week

abloodymess: livingluster: abloodymess: or midwest I saw them in Virginia a couple of years ago, but they weren’t loud enough. :( That’s a bummer! In 2008 in Chicago they were loud enough to make my clothes move from sound.  Clearly y’all should fly out to Denver to see them instead

Katy B is putting new music out, in case you were somehow still worried there would be a shortage of summer jams this year.

It didn’t sound like it hit anything, so I’m allowed to have a favorite part about the Bennington, KS tornado today, and it is this: Like half the chasers working on the Plains this week seemed to have set up base in Salina today, which is maybe ten miles south of there. And so when they all drove ten minutes up to chase that storm, the Kansas Highway Patrol ended up having to field a bunch of phone calls from other drivers who were annoyed and angry at all the storm chasers clogging up US 81 taking pictures. Weather!

I mean, all Yahoo! needs to do to make this Tumblr purchase a success in my book is to bring the backup tool back so I don’t have to constantly try and remember which wget commands to use to do it myself

they said they weren’t going to change a thing, though, so Tumblr will just keep on not implementing any feature that Karp himself didn’t think of
