Current Events


The Rolling Stones rolled into Philadelphia last week. I had thought that these old stones had gathered some moss by now.

Last night was the Super full moon - the closest it will be to earth this year. This following the Summer Solstice which causes various types of celebrating in the northern latitudes. From today the sun heads south again but let's enjoy these longest days of June.

Baseball is very popular in Japan. But their baseball commissioner has admitted that they have "juiced up" the balls to make them livelier to create more home runs as the balls fly out of the park.
This makes the pitchers unhappy but you can't please everyone.

Last night the Discovery channel covered live the death defying high wire walk across the Grand Canyon gorge above the Colorado River by Nik Wallenda - a fifth generation member of the Wallenda clan. It was twenty-two minutes of high drama and the winds were more than he anticipated. A remarkable feat provoking a flurry of twittering.
