Good afternoon, Stroock's books fellows.
We had a long bout of summer rain and lightning last night. The green on the trees is fading just a wee bit. A wee bit. Soon the Yankee autumn will be here in all its glory. But today temps will top 85.
We can't quite get it out of our head that something may be wrong with our sump pump [Nothing is wrong with your sump pump-Ed]. We know.
Mrs. Stroock's coworkers at REDACTED have been dropping hints that she hasn't brought any baked goods to the officer of late. In another life Mrs. Stroock would run a bakery, or at least appear on one of those baking contest shows.
Jersey Beat: The New Jersey Globe reports: Garfield mayor switches to GOP, endorses Ciattarelli. The town voted for Trump by 9 points last fall.' Don't mean to overplay this, but the switch is important. This blog hasn't seen much good for Mikie Sherrill, yet. And Jack's campaign is on point (see below). Reminder, the latest poll has Sherrill up 46-39.
Bla-Bla Gaza ...the Gaza City offensive will begin in two weeks they say. Defence Minister Israel Katz is talking about the gates of hell again. His rhetoric is approaching Arab levels of grandiose bellicosity. Reminder, the more bellicose the Arab's rhetoric the more impotent is the Arab. We doubt the Gaza City offensive will happen. That said the Israelis are issuing evac orders and knocking down apartment and office towers. Good. No two stones...
'We have begun' says Katz. We shall see, says Will.
Bla-Bla Israel...JPost reports the latest opinion poll has the Opposition winning 62 seats, more than enough to form a government. JPost notes an intriguing idea wherein the ballot has separate votes for Knesset and PM. The Israelis did this in 2001, with Arial Sharon trouncing Ehud Barak.
Notes on a football game...
The Eagles won 24-20.
The first half was a track meet with the Eagles leading 21-20 at the end of the second quarter. In the second half the defenses settled in and took over the game. Both defenses bullied the opposing offenses. Dallas stuffed Saquon Barkley and made Jalen Hurts run for his life. The Cowboys didn't do much on offense either and had a key red zone turnover. The only second half points scored were a 56-yard field goal by the Eagles' Jake Elliot. Despite a lot of off-season defensive changes, the Eagles' defense looked...big, strong and tough.
Dak Prescott still can't win a big game.
Overall, the Cowboys are, shall we say....inclusive. Slap a rainbow on that helmet. What are the Cowboy's pronouns?
Jalen Carter is a moron for spitting on Dak Prescott and getting his ass ejected before a single snap. The Eagles' pass rush was weak and flaccid without Carter.
So the NFL wants to rein in taunting, after tolerating the 'look at how awesome I am for making a tackle' act for a couple of decades. Next Roger Goodell will want to crack down on gambling.
The 3rd quarter weather delay was annoying and kept us up later than we wanted.
The performance of Lift Every Voice lifted few voices.
The NFL still has those stupid slogans in the end zone.
Chris Collinsworth, whom we usually like, talked too much and said little. His son is a broadcaster now too? We hate sports TV nepotism.
The commercial breaks were very based. We saw adverts for ICE. Also, we saw a pair of very based and on point Jack Ciattarelli ads slamming Mikie Sherrill for obsessing about Trump and pronouns.
