    Eric Umphrey, the Times|Jun 13, 2019

    The Mariners took pitchers in nine of their first 11 picks in this past weeks baseball player’s draft. Overall, out of their 41 picks they took 23 pitchers. That works out to 56% of all picks in this year’s draft. The average team takes about 54% pitchers to 46% position players. If you were listening to the local sports station you may have heard them criticize taking so many pitchers so early in the draft. With the Mariners pitching staff currently giving up over six runs per game, pitching is definitely a need. Pitchers drafted, make the...

    Teeny McMunn, the Times|Jun 13, 2019

    My first thought and attempt was to copy and paste this article from All Recipes about potato salad and the 1000 (or close) different ways to make it. I had no idea. I tried to cheat and send it to Dena, but it didn’t fly. Guess it was like 1400 words and would have taken a whole page, just for potato salad. Some make it hot, some make it cold, and some make it in the pot nine days old. The article listed the different potatoes one can use; I prefer either baked potatoes or red potatoes. I...

Clockwise from top left: The Chiquillas Ballet made a...
