@UmpireAuditor I thought that Angel Hernandez retired from MLB umpiring. Guess someone had to take his place.

@jmhorp It is contrary for US to make the distinction between nations and states. The United Kingdom is made up of the peoples of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
An example closer to home US citizens of Puerto Rico can field their own international sports teams.

@gregcello @nataliaallende Whether the liturgy is beautiful or mechanical, inspiring architecture or bland, exquisite music or silent--there is still the sacrament of the Eucharist in which the faithful receive the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ.

@gregcello @nataliaallende IMHO it depends. I have been to some early morning low masses with great 2 minute homilies that were quietly filled with the spirit. Also the 17 minute evening mass which was reverent. But some of that type can seem mechanical.

@Kristinartz To my palate, there are definite differences in taste between Coke & Pepsi. But the delivery vessel also impacts the taste. Pepsi in a 1/2 liter bottle retains carbonation better than in a 2 liter bottle. Also Coke from properly maintained fountain can be better than canned.

@iowahawkblog While I prefer imperial measurements, the metric system is more exact, except Celsius.
