Well, President Donald Trump is hobnobbing with his pals, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Prince Mohammed Bin Salman in Osaka. He heaped considerable praise to them all, including Salman. But didn't he authorize the killing of Jamal Khashoggi? Said Trump, Salman is angry about it and that 13 people had been prosecuted. But didn't he order the assassination?
Anyway, Trump might shake hands sometime in the next 24 hours or so with North Korea's Kim Jong-Un. Just a photo op at the DMZ, as Kim is not invited to those G20 summits. Life with Trump resembles a series of chapters not unlike those Saturday afternoon kiddies serials I went to, usually topped off with a cowboy movie.
About Trump's spat with the captain of the U.S. women's soccer team now in France, Megan Rapinoe, who said she's not going to the White House, for her mom would be upset. She scored those two goals against France in a 2-1 victory. The one in the lavender hair is Rapinoe.
The big sports story of the week, however, has to be the Yankees and Red Sox each scoring six runs in the first inning of the first ever official Major League Baseball game in Europe. That first inning lasted longer than an hour, so if you're reading this, switch to your local Fox channel, for the game could still be going with astronomical scores. London stadium was where the opening and closing ceremonies took place in the 2012 Summer Olympics, and is home to the West Ham United soccer team. The place is packed with 66,000 spectators who mostly only know the rules for cricket. You can enjoy for $25 a 2-foot hot dog from the Texas Rangers and another two-footer, a Boomstick Nachos, plus the New Yorker (Doddies Gin with Fever Tree Indian Tonic), The Bostonian (a rum drink), and, in the stands, Pimms. You can still go tomorrow. Eight tickets are left for $83 each. Every player on both teams will get an extra $60,000 bonus just for showing up.
I went on to Dublin, where the crisis on TV had to do with cattle. Farmers were warned to place a moisturing ointment on the udders of cows. I was planning to golf, but could not find any sunblock, I thought I finally found something that could protect me, so bought a small tube. I put it on and could not get it off. Must have been for cows.
About that London baseball game, they sang Sweet Caroline in the bottom half of the seventh, and the game score ended up 17-13, with 39 hits, most this year in the major leagues. Who cares who won. Harry and Meghan were there.-
