Sunday morning notes

-Beijing citizens discussing a Olympics-like more permanent ban on vehicle traffic. Would mean a continuation of blue skies and clean air. Seems like a great idea. Wonder what a comparable sacrifice would be for the citizens of Loogootee/Martin County?

-Number One Son Marty wonders why no comment on John McCain's VP selection. Well, she's young and she's pretty and she looked John in the eye and maybe winked (?!) Bold move by McCain, and mavericky. The regular Republicans are probably wondering what is the guy thinking!? Well, regular Democrats are probably thinking the same. Is this selection comparable to 1984 when Geraldine Ferraro was selected by Walter Mondale? Probably only in the fact that they both happen to be women. The timing of the selection did take Obama off of page one, kinda.

-Watched a bit of the Cubs game yesterday afternoon. First one this year, first baseball game this year. And wouldn't you know that the best team in baseball got themselves beat. Jeeesh...

-College football has started up again and Michigan lost another opening game to a serious underdog at the Big House. My oh my. And Notre Dame opens against San Diego State next week. Odds? How about IU as the best team in Indiana this year?

-Should all past colonialists do as Italy is doing now? Italy to compensate Libya $5B for colonial rule Maybe they already have and Italy is the last of them to get around to doing it. Though I highly doubt that...

-That other guy, Padraic Harrington, contending for the POY in pro golf again missed the cut this week.
