151.03/ Now playing thematic songs: "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers, "Blood of the Sun" by Mountain, "Sunshine Superman" by Donavon, "Here Comes the Sun" by Ritchie Havens and "The Sun is a Mass of Incandescent Gas" by TMBG
151.04/ This comic from Red Meat comes to mind #RedSun in NJ
151.05/ My old hometown is orange but then again, so is my current town. Luckily I've paid attention to the West Coasters who've reported their conditions in the past few years and know what to do (stay indoors, mask outdoors, daven)
151.08/ From M*sk to the HBO/Max nonsense to the studios being struck by the WGA to that CNN goofball, we're learning that these people are willing to suffer enormous amounts of preventable losses in service of their retrograde ideologies. nytimes.com/2023/06/05/tec…
151.09/ My earlier comments from this week about the sad #DeGrom saga.
June 5
150.11/ Songlist I'm playing for the flaming sky tonight:
"Burning for You" - Blue Öyster Cult
"Fire Woman" - The Cult
"Fire" - Hendrix
"Great Balls of Fire" - Jerry Lee Lewis
"Serpentine Fire" - EW&F
"Fire" - Ohio Players
"Smoke From a Distant Fire" - Sanford-Townsend Band
150.13/ This is the best booth in sports and they really know baseball and the #Mets and if you lose the booth, you're in real trouble. That's when I knew Callaway (ugh) and Rojas were done. #LGM
151.17/ Thank goodness the air cleared up enough that I could grill for Shabbas, especially since this is the first since my son returned from Israel. So happy he's home.
151.18/ This is art.
[Img: Pitcher for White Sox is "Burger", batter for Yankees is "King." Their names are next to each other on the screen]

227.03/ The first time through the cruel & stupid Trump (ym'sh) circus I read the news with trepidation because I didn't know what terrible thing he'd do next. This time, I read the news with contempt & anger because the MSM helped elect him and wants him to succeed.
225.02/ Finally dropped off our ballots this morning & took a selfie. A fun thing then happened: a young dad carrying a baby arrived after us & he said that it was his first time voting after becoming a citizen! So I insisted on taking a photo of him (with his camera). USA! USA!
225.03/ Yes, I'm the one who waited all Shabbas for the poll, taught my kids how polls work (social science PhD, baby) & what I hoped would happen (GOP leading by only 5). And they got to see my stunned elation in real time when I read the news.
224.02/ There's sticker shock and then there's "standing on the bathroom scale after 3 three-day yuntifs and 2 major fasts over 3 weeks" sticker shock.
224.03/ BTW, Trump (ym"sh) abd the MAGA-GOP going completely mask-off with racist nativism was very much on my BINGO card.
223.02/ Downside of "October is the Best Sports Month" - mixed blessing really - is that at 8pm tonight 3 of my teams will be on at the same time. NYMets facing elimination, #LIGHTITUPNYL in the last game of the finals, and the Steelers on SNF.

222.03/ Another October sports is awesome moment: Mets playoffs, Yankees playoffs, Monday night football plus the #NYR at home. Pretty much all at the same time.
