Tuesday BP: Vote!

Hello and happy Tuesday.

You may be aware that there is an election in exactly one week. Do you know what you should do about that? You should vote.

Don’t take my word for it: take the word of the San Francisco Giants. They also want you to vote.

So do it. Make a plan to vote, and do it early if you can. All the cool kids are doing it, and even a lot of us who aren’t cool kids.

Did Barry Bonds hit a home run today?

No he did not. And thus ends this segment, because yesterday’s home run was the latest in the year that Bonds ever hit a homer.

I hope you all have a tremendous Tuesday. Vote if you haven’t already.
