Happy Bird of Paradise Day! Spring is already here!

WAR! WE ARE GOING TO WAR, sez BANNON! LET’S BLOW SOMETHING UP JUST SO WE CAN BE ALL ALPHA AND NUCLEAR AND CREATE SOME CARNAGE! KA-BOOM! THAT’LL LEARN YA, YA NON-’MURRIKANS! As well, how’s things going in the Rust Belt & Bible Belt today? Today’s high here in Studio City, Calif., was 64°F. Rain tomorrow, though.

Seriously, the evangelicals are probably very happy right now, for Their Blessed Rapture Is Nigh. They will be Saved, but to reach Their Deliverance, they are going to take the rest of us to the Great Beyond with them. Oh, well. At least They Will Be Saved. Someone wins, someone loses, zero-sum, food-chain. Hallelujah. Bannon sez we are going to war, Va. Poly, UT PROSIM. What a way to go. Thank you, Va. Poly. Great job with this guy. Mike Vick would have been better. Oh, well. What a way to go.

Yesterday’s Activity:

Track (Win Mutuels $20+/Gettable)

Chas. Town (0/0) — Martinsburg council eyes new municipal, police building.

Delta (1/0) — ‘World Hijab Day’ celebrated at Prien Lake Mall.

Gulf (1/1) — Race 1 was not contentious, but players of all stripes were in on the bargain presented by Notapradaprice, Fair Odds of 6-5 atop the conventional V6 Betting Line and a field-best 81 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis; she was a stalking-horse throughout, winning by a clean neck at $29-even. Good work.

Mahoning (0/0) — Man arrested for shooting at buildings in downtown Youngstown.

PennNat (2/1½) — Race 5 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads crossed the 59th Street Bridge to get to Dual Qualifier Feelin Groovy (99, 83); he went ribcage-to-wire to win by 1¾ at $22.20. Next race there, Old-School Champeens had a contentious lineup for S W Seraphina, Fair Odds of 4-1 and second-ranked on the conventional V6 Betting Line; she went gate-to-wire anyway, winning by 2½ at $20.60. Good work.

Tampa (1/0) — Host Magic fall to Indpls., 98-88; Serge Ibaka led all scorers with 20 pts. for Orlando.

Turfway (0/0) — Big changes coming to Delta flights at CVG.
