Lionel Messi to Sign With MLS’s Inter Miami, per Report

Wow! I was rooting for him to rejoin Barcelona, only because they were talking about this when I was in that town in March. But this seems fun, and another drawpiece for MLS games.

Someone should write a post about this. Someone on the team who writes about "footy."

Intelligence Officials Say U.S. Has Retrieved Craft of Non-Human Origin

Double-wow! Alien spacecraft has been retrieved and analyzed for many years! Let's make a theme park out of it! This is fascinating. 

Francis casting a vote
Someone who write about science should so a separate post. Maybe someone who posts about things like the Large Hadron Collider. 

Pope Francis is getting a hernia-related surgery in Rome

Yikes! Pope-a Frankie's gonna need some papal ballots. 

Someone should write a post about such matters. Maybe someone who enjoys balloting and who had hernia surgery last year. Wait, that's me. Never mind.

‘Very last warning’ for 82-year-old German convicted of dealing drugs

A German court says it is giving an 82-year-old man a “last warning” to avoid jail after he was found guilty of drug dealing, despite 24 previous convictions.

I’m reporting live from CLT airport. There is a guy from Denver wearing a chevron hat in the line. I want to ask if he knows TR, but that would be odd,no?

Speaking of TR, we’re aiming for a mini summit, but it’s complicated, a lotta ins and outs.

Hoping the gin and perrier brings some sleep. I missed a 520 am flight today, so my sleep bank is fahhhhcked.

Happy belated to Rob. I leave for a beach family vacation tomorrow but am already in vacation mode. Smoke wahoo and tuna last night for two types of fish dip. Currently smoking a whole chicken for sandwiches/snacks. Still gotta pack though- dagger.

Not bad, Mark. Pretty boss.

I guess when your cousin is an edm artist, you might not get brick house on the playlist. The guy running the cocktail hour playlist may forget that it’s on repeat and play the same dead tune three times in a row until someone hips him to it.
