First Monday in October
It is the first Monday in October. The first meeting of the Supreme Court for this session. I am already reading through the cases that will be before it as well as the potential cases. I am a Supreme Court junkie. I like to know what the high court is doing since that is a good indicator of the way of the land or at least the legal landscape. First up is the federal mandatory sentences laws which ties both the judge and the jury’s hands for handing out jail time and other punishments. Next week is whether an individual who is a minor at the time of their crime can be sentenced to death. There are a number that impact on the War on Terror including how long illegal immigrants facing deportation can be detained.
Peter took Ariel back to New York is Book Country for the Tamora Pierce signing. I really like her work and can recommend her highly as a good young adult author. She writes really good female protagonists. They left me with a sleeping Caroline. She took a long nap which allowed me to clean up the mess that the last puppet made. Puppets can be so messy at times. The living room can be lived in right now.
The Baseball postseason shaped up a day early allowing football owners to heave a sign of relief. So it is the Twins vs. the Yankees, The BoSoxs vs. the Angels, Cardinals vs. the Dodgers, and the Braves vs. the Astros. Here is how I think is will shake out. NL title will be the Cardinals vs. the Braves. The AL title will be the Yankees vs. the BoSoxs. I’ll be a dreamer and say BoSoxs vs. the Braves. Braves win because we all know about the curse. We’ll have to see who the Mets pick next for manager.
The Jets are 3-0 with the Giants 3-1. Atlanta is 4-0 which is surprising the heck out of me. I took a friend from England to a Falcons game since he hadn’t been to an American Football game. They were playing the Colts during that looong losing streak back in 1986. The Falcons, of course, lost breaking the losing streak.
I am grateful for vacuum cleaners.
