I hope as you read this you and your family are having a wonderful 4th of July.
Happy 234th birthday to the greatest nation ever...The United States of America. And more importantly thank you to all of the brave troops stationed around the world defending the American way of life. I realize we are not the most beloved of countries, but why is that when some other nation gets in trouble or needs help, the US is always the first one it asks? And the United States never says no to someone in need. 234 years old and going strong.
Does the United States have problems? Sure we do. But, I am confident we will resolve those issues and move on. I am thankful for the many opportunities the USA has afforded me over the years and the freedom to do what I want when I want. Thank you American and may God Bless the United States of America!

What is MLB Up to Now?
So I flip on the TV and I see that all of the players are wearing white caps. My first thought it what's up with that. Well, then I learn it is to honor America on Independence Day and support injured veterans. I then think that is a noble cause.
But, then while surfing the web this morning I came across this article in the San Jose Mercury. It turns out MLB is more interested in lining it's own pockets than enriching a needy group of veterans. Shame on you Major League Baseaball.

Another Great Brew
I finally had the chance to taste DogFish Head 90 Minute IPA. It's better than I had been led to believe. The beer is as good as any IPA I have tasted. This beer is huge. It's 9 percent by volume and carries a whopping 90 IBU.
The beer is between an Orange and Copper in color and starts out tasting like grapefruit with a little Brown Sugar. It finishes with the traditional pine smell and a taste of Lemon. It has a syrupy taste in your mouth and is well balanced.
I had to drive 30 miles to find it, but the drive was well worth it. This is just one more reason Dogfish Head Brewing in Rehobeth Beach, Delaware is one of the top micro-breweries in the USA.

Responding to this Blog is Fine, But...
A couple of days ago I received two comments from a reader or readers who left one critical posting that could have been okay and another that was not.
If you're going to post due it in a timely fashion. The comment was okay but it was about something that happened close to three years ago and stopped being a problem like two weeks after that post.
The second comment was an attack on this blog and compared it to someone elses. I have no clue who the other person was writing about and doubt anyone else would for that matter. You can post anonymously but your chances of them being allowed are pretty slim. If you include your email address or a name, your still not guaranteed of having the comment allowed but it will certainly improve your chances. Sorry, but those have been the rules all along. If you don't like them get your own blog.

All Good Things Must Come to an End
The Missouri Women's Softball season came to a close this afternoon with a 5-0 loss to the Florida Gators. It was their second loss in the double elimination Women's College World Series. The Tigers had previously lost a heart breaker to Hawaii on Thursday 3-2.
The team ends the year with a record of 51-13. But, as a Mizzou alum I am very proud of these ladies and the way they represented our university. After key injuries earlier this year the squad could have packed it in. But, that never happened. Coach Ehren Earleywine and the team excelled and reached the Mecca of college softball for the second consecutive season. Let's hope next year they can make it back to Oklahoma City again. M-I-Z Z-O-U RAH!!!
