Baseball...

What can I say. A homerun, extra innings, Yankee Stadium. I don't know whether I would call it a curse on the Red Sox or the old Yankee magic. All I know is it is baseball at its best. What a wonderful post-season this has been! Even if my Twins lost, the Cubs are still waiting for the end of the Century, and the Red Sox are looking for a new Babe Ruth, it has been great. Who would have thought that it would be the Florida Marlins.

From MSNBC:

ASSOCIATED PRESS PEORIA, Ill., Oct. 15 —
Caterpillar Inc. has sued to block next week’s U.S. release of Disney’s “George of the Jungle 2,” alleging that the direct-to-DVD movie damages the heavy equipment maker’s reputation. The Peoria-based company’s trademark infringement lawsuit contends the movie ties Caterpillar to an “evil attacking army” of industrialists seeking to destroy the jungle, a central theme of the Disney sequel.
Caterpillar contends the scenes will have a negative effect on children and could affect the company’s line of children’s products, according to the lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Peoria against the Walt Disney Co. and Buena Vista Entertainment.
“While we have great respect for Caterpillar, we consider this without legal merit and we expect the audience will view these sequences for their comedic value and not take them seriously,” a Disney statement said.

It’s only a movie! Next thing you know gun manufacturers will be suing the movies for showing their products being used in illegal activities.

Trying to Blog

It's amazing how we get used to broadband. I have been trying to get on and stay on the Internet from a dial-up and keep getting knocked off. It is frustrating when I have so much to say of great importance and I can't stay online. (That and my humility will get me somewhere sometime.)
