The Chicago Cubs won the World Series of baseball for the last time in 1908, which was more than a full century ago already. I would root for them, but this weekend they are playing my L.A. Dodger team...and they are low in both the NL Central race and the NL Wildcard race...so this year they will have to make a sudden surge if they want to see the playoffs. Okay, I'm now done with this post.

Those people who actually panicked were concerned that computers would not recognize "00" as 2000... the cutoff year for some machines may have been at a later year, which would still need to be looked into. I made sure that all my machines were compliant, and for the record they were.

World Series Game number 3, that is. The entire series was played in the Bay Area, between the Oakland A's and the San Francisco Giants.
