    Guess I’m the only one of the horde who is up at this hour to comment. I’m trying to ignore the movie that the husband is watching. It looks like a good time was had by all.

    PZ makes it sound like a ball game at the “friendly confines”*, where enjoying the sun, fresh air, and beer are the main activities, and a baseball game happens to break out. If the guys with the big “C” on their uniforms win, a slightly better day is had.

    Who is that intelligent-looking individual to the right (subject’s perspective) of the shaggy ape?
