Well, not so much going on with the Cubs except I'm loving what our new manager Dale Sveum is doing with the emphasis on fundamentals and that wacky bunting bracket.
You can read Phil Rogers wondering why the Cubs ever traded all those prospects for Matt Garza, but that's kind of depressing.
So here's a nice optimistic article by Scott Miller talking about ST with the Cubs.
But really, not so much going on so you know sometimes I like to find other things of interest in the world...
Did you know that bacon is a mineral?
Yep, it's true and made me so happy!
It's actually mined below the Earth's crust, so everything you've heard about pigs or whatever is completely wrong.
I mean, yeah there's some kind of connection because the government subsidizes farmers who have pigs on their farms because pigs have been on the endangered list since Abraham Lincoln introduced the secret "Lets be honest about Swine" pact way back when..
Who knew?
So this whole bacon mining thing has been kind of on the down-low for a long time, and I'm just happy to be the one to break this news to you.
Bacon is good for you.
Your body needs vitamins and minerals every day.
You should eat bacon on pretty much anything, or as a side with anything.
Here's a shot of the famous "Loire Lard Nugget" discovered in France.
This is bacon strip mining, very common practice around the world, apparently.
And lastly, the first bacon mine discovered in the United States.
What year was it?
Of course, waaaay back when the Cubs last won a World Series.
Just crazy, right?
