Summertime musings:........I'm enjoying the Olympics although I think NBC's decision-making in its prime-time programming leaves a lot to be desired. How NBC came to the decision to just delay THE glamour event of the Olympics, the 100 meter finals until most of the country was asleep boggles the mind. That was unforgiveable. What I do like about NBC's coverage is the feature broadcasting of Mary Carillo. she has been superb.My favorite athletes so far have been swimmer Missy Franklin and 400 meter champion Sanya Richards Ross, with personalities to light up any room. The "WOW" moment though, was, what else, Usain Bolt'selectrifying 100.......I think the Dodgers can do it, win the National League West, that is. I loved their moves before the trading deadline. Those trades proved to the fans that they intend to win and win now. However, we should all settle in for a season long fight for the division title between the Dodgers and Giants. The Giants improved too, and I think the outcome will be in doubt until the final week.......Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band completed an unbelievable European tour with an all-time record 4 hour 7 minute concert. He has now added more dates in the United States to include four West Coast dates to end the tour, Portland, Oakland, Anaheim and Glendale, Arizona. I'll find a way to get to one of two of those.....Glad to hear one of my favorite bands, "The Killers" has re-united and embarked on a long European tour to promote their new album. I assume they'll tour here in America once they are done in Europe.......I think the presidential campaign sucks. Too much Super Pac money, too much hate, too many negative ads, too much spin, very little substance. Right now, in reading the electoral map and projecting ahead, I see it very close in popular vote, but President Obama getting in the neighborhood of 280-300 electoral college votes to win the election.
