1. Harry

QOTD

"It took a while, but she looked in the mirror
Then she glanced at the license for my name
A smile seemed to come to her slowly
It was a sad smile, just the same

And she said "How are ya Harry?"
I said "How are ya, Sue?"
Through the too many miles and the too little smiles
I still... remember you.
- Harry Chapin, "Taxi"

"Harry Chapin Greatest Stories Live" (amazon link)... 5 bill-stars.
I wish I'd seen Harry Chapin live because this CD is electric. You get the extra energy of a live performance, and the quality of the performance and the recording is amazing.

2. This is fun

This is fun. You go to Baseball Reference and see what ballplayers were born today.

My fave birthday today (July 26) is a no-brainer: Sad Sam Jones.
He he.

Speaking of sad. Texas Ranger... Go!

1. July 22 - Adrian Beltre gets hurt
2. July 23 - Chris Davis gets called up from the minors for the zillionth time
3. July 26 - Chris Davis goes 0-for-6 in the Ranger 20-6 (boxscore) and committed an error for the cherry on top.

I am, happily, not sleeping with, or addicted to, my free dumb phone.

Three requirements to be a planet (link):

1. Orbit the sun
2. Have sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium... that's fancy talk for "enough mass to keep a spherical-ish shape"
3. Have a clear neighborhood around its orbit... can't be all cluttered up with similar-sized junk

Williamt... not a planet.
