That was the week that was......

The wrap:

In sports, the I-70 Series happened.  Box score for the Royals:    0 Speeding tickets, 0  Distracted Driving Citations, 0 Runs.

Chiefs lost preseason game #2 to the Steelers.  QB Totals:  Litton 9 completions, Henne 7, Schurmer 4, Mahomes 3 completions/12 commercials.  In one of the Commercials, Mahomes threw three errant passes to the West, when he shoulda thrown East, completely destroying the picnics of three neighbors, including one that eerily looked like Jeffrey Epstein.  Mahomes and HyVee didn't leave the neighbors hanging as he went online and ordered replacement groceries to be delivered to all.

Ten US teams, including Hawaii, Louisiana, Rhode Island, Virginia, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Chicago Cubs and 8 International teams descended upon Williamsport, PA for the Little League World Series.  Vegas actually has odds on these games, and the US final is projected to be Louisiana vs the Pirates. Joe Madden, Cubs manager, was overheard mumbling something about "unfair pitch count limits."

A recent political rally was interrupted with the singing of Meridith Wilson's "Go You Chicken Fat Go"..

Kansas City got some much needed rain.  And s'more mostly needed rain. And then some kinda needed rain.  And then, a little bit too much rain.  Hail yes.

In Wisconsin, Jerry Cosby, a 29 year old man who stole the credit card of a KFC drive thru customer was arrested by Racine Police Department's Colonel HD Sanders.  DNA samples obtained from the finger licked card matched those of Crosby.

Not a good week for RoundUp (cancer causing agents Class Action Suit) and several winemakers - crazy high levels of arsenic discovered within.

Of course, we celebrated the 50 year anniversary of Woodstock.  Remembering:  Woodstock was originally cancelled due to angry residents of Wallskill complaining the toilets weren't up to standard.  Farmer Max Yasgur came to the rescue renting his 600 acre dairy farm for $50,000 for the event.  Promoters sold 100,000 $7 tickets in advance, but the hords, coupled with insufficient infrastructure, saw 300,000 (of the 400,000 total) see the concert for free.  The throngs (albeit with no ill intent) broke down barriers and fences, and the cows were left to simply intermingle with concert goers.

The band Sweetwater was scheduled to open the concert, but traffic made that impossible so the task was left up to Richie Havens.  Havens, taken back and feeling somewhat like a motherless child, perfectly delivered "Freedom." Sweetwater arrived by helicopter soon after.   Attendee behavior was mostly exemplary, 'ceptin when a food shortage happened and concert goers strayed to nearby fields to munch on corn and other produce ("Whew" for the cows).

The pacifist vibe continued until the end.  Upon the completion of Jimi Hendrix's Monday set for a dwindled crowd of 25,000 folks, one of the promoters took it all in via helicopter.  To his amazement, the trash collecters had fashioned a humongous peace symbol with what trash remained from it all.

I was bored.  Sorry.  Don't shoot anyone, watch for cow patties, treat your lawn (DIY mix of Borax, Dawn and Vinegar), take an umbrella, keep score (unless it's anything political), get your exercise in, fork it over and buy bottled wine (vs Box wine), and have a nice week.

Love, Victurd
