My sister and b-i-l drove my nephews to Tempe, AZ this weekend to watch the Angels in a spring training game, or two.

Re: PLAY BALL
I thought the ads on some of the jerseys was a bit tacky. I know many other sports do this although so far none of the "Big 4" (if you count hockey which is borderline at best) do so on the uniform except for the occasional logo by the uniform article maker.
It just doesn't belong in baseball.

Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

Members of Congress should be compelled to wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers, so we can identify their corporate sponsors.

This is a superb idea! The IRS also could issue stars or bars for government officials, elected or otherwise, who are up to date with federal and state income taxes.
Okay, I was thinking that the stars or bars could be worn on collars, but epaulettes might be better, so that income tax audits revealing gross irregularities could trigger dramatic ceremonies in which the shoulder decorations could be ripped off in front of national television cameras.
