My sounding board, and venting portal.
I must say that mere congratulations is not enough. Not only did Hawaii win the Little League World Series, but they dominated their entire elimination bracket all the way to the final game.
They swept all 6 of their games. Of those 6 games:
4 mercy rule wins
3 shutouts
vs curacao mercy rule win 13-3
vs northwest mercy rule win 11-1
vs metro region mercy rule shutout 12-0
vs southeast mercy rule shutout 13-0
vs southwest shutout 6-0
vs southeast 5-1

Yesterday as I was on my way in to work, on the radio the news that former CJCS and SecState Gen Colin Powell has died of complications from COVID-19. He was fully vaccinated but had underlying conditions. He was CJCS during the Gulf War days, which is my reflection point of his career since I was active duty then as Operation Desert Shield turned into Desert Storm.…
