Atavistic:OTI:7/27/20

Open To Interpretation

Atavistic


Game on...on the radio!...Trout just struck out, Fletcher on first...oh...Ohtani pops out...end of inning...to bottom of third...Angels at Oakland...baseball started without me...I knew start date, but forgot...memory jogged hearing report of Ohtani's travail on the mound yesterday...gave up four runs, like three walks, and no strikes!, unless you count the three hits, all grounders...they could just as easily been outs!...Fletch went four for four...some scoring has happened?...wait and here...so,soh, I'm flat footed to do an ancient mystery post...not prepped to do the one I wanted to on opening day...'tis okay...like 56 games to go...oh, I did post ancient mystery stuff Friday...so was kind of in sync...this bit continues those youtube comment posts...great to hear a game again...the players' names...Oakland stands empty?...saw the painted wood fans behind home plate...on radio sounds like a few...Yankees and Phillies just cancelled, "postponed" game...oh, ball off the wall...As 2-0...hmmph...brb...

quote

I happened on this word, "atavisim", fact checking"no wheeled carts" in New World...I fact check obsessively-my prompts, everyones'...Mexiclore site has page about the wheel mysterey, and suggests it was an atavism that the Mesoamericans didnt use wheels for transport...walking and carrying was the way for a long time, and they prefered to continue that...that would be a throwback in the Old World...why carry when one can make a wheel barrow?...might be said the Amish are atavistic, prefering horsedrawn carts to a Ford truck...they freely admit it's dumb, kinda, but they prefer it...like baseball now, they want to replace umpires with electronic strike zone detectors...Graves laments something was lost when things were no longer individually hand made, but rolled off assembly lines...Sufis have a word, "baraka"...

reply to e. causey



I'm writing on my tablet memo pad...tough to hop out to web...would snag Mexiclore stuff, and explore atavisim...it explains a lot!...K...to top of 4th...and, and that's about it for now...sleepy, up all night, blurry thinking!...oh, and this...my poems I find are a kinda atavistic throwback to Tennyson, and as it happens his favorite place a glacier made valley in the Pyrannes...Upton with a lead off hit, LaStella with double, and Pujols up...go Albert!...oh, Upton dogs it base running on ball down third base line...looper by Castro...bases loaded...and...Simmons back to mound grounder- double play...I think those were all first pitch contacts!...weird inning...brb...

When all is said and done
There's Alfred Lord Tennyson.

oh...As with a home run...As 3-0
