Broken Things
Things are breaking on me this week. My calendar page (sneakily hidden, until I can get the security working again) won’t upload calendars via WebDAV, I can’t keep the screens in my apartment windows, and today one of the pedals broke off my bicycle. Gah!
Recently, big-money England football (nee soccer) team Manchester United was bought by Tampa Bay owner Malcolm Glaser. Manchester United fans are upset, to say the least. (In spite of what we might be told, most of England doesn’t really care for their neighbor across the pond.) For anyone who remembers when Japanese companies were buying United States property hand over fist, their reaction is much like ours was. Or imagine if Sony bought the Lakers. Yeah, now you’re getting it.
To add injury to more injury, during today’s FA Cup Final, the Superbowl of British football (er, soccer), Man U’s opponent’s fans taunted the team by chanting, “U-S-A! U-S-A!” Inspiring to us, not so much to Manchester.
