Of course!Heathens !
But honestly, you can't tell me that you would not enjoy that most gratifying sound of hardwood on bone as you walked through the Senate floor (or Parliament) swinging that bat with great conviction!
And the very thought of that makes today's "what cheered me up"!

Amen to that my friend
Lovely summers day in San Francisco, was perfect for the Golden Gate Bridge.

It's not just Cricket. Back when I was in 8th grade a few of my friends and I tried to explane baseball to a German exchange student, going as far as taking him to a park district ball field and acting it out. Totally hopeless. I guess it's just something you have to grow up with.

Baseball ? Ah, you mean 'Rounders', the game UK schoolgirls play !

My wife is a football fan, but after 30 years together she also loves cricket but only on the radio she never watches it, the cricket radio commentary is up to 5 days of sport combined with complete nonsense about everything from cakes to seagulls and the colour of buses.

There is a surprising amount of cricket played in the USA

Mick Jagger introduced John Paul Getty to Cricket and he loved it so much he built his own international standard ground at his home in England, a replica of The Oval in London.

I love it but it is an aquired taste....good luck with the rules
I too prefere the radio commentary for cricket, though without having sky sports I don't see much cricket these days, sadly.
Didn't get my butt outa bed till 9...warm and cosy....

That place has a very colorful history from being a military outpost to prison. Remember not to bend over or you'll become subject to the SF space program. They like to explore Uranus.
The Grand Canyon is pretty big, pretty cool seeing it from the South Rim today. Overnight flight to New York tomorrow, Big Apple here I come!

Rumor has it that the canyon was caused by a Scotsman chasing a farthing down a squirrel hole.

Saw this little guy nearly get his by a car last night when he ran in front of two cars on a well driven road. Two cars ended up hitting each other, nothing major and this little guy just kept going down the road. He was intent on crossing again and I was afraid he'd get hit as it was getting dark. I picked him up and took him home.
Had the police come and scan for an identification chip, but he didn't have one.
Only tag he had was a for a rabies shot and that place was closed so he spent the night. Sure was a well mannered little gut (OK, he's not so little for a Corgi).
Luckily the clinic on the tag was still in operation and I brought him over this morning. They tracked down the owner via the rabies vaccination #. Left him there for the owner to pick up. Turns out his name is Buster. Glad he found his people

Yeah, he would probably spent the night in some cold damp weather last night if I didn't pick him up.
Initially the Policeman thought I just wanted him to take him to the pound, which meant the little guy spending the night in a cage in an even stranger place than my place. I told him no, I would keep him for a while and try to find the owner and that I just wanted him to scan for a chip.
One thing I learned, he expected a treat after going outside to do his duty, he acted like he was expecting something after coming in and I said "treat" and he nearly jumped through the roof Didn't have any doggie treats so I gave him a little handful of dog food I had picked up for him earlier.
