Circuses are rather deplorable. I remember being a young child and asking my dad how it is elephants enjoy running in circles and living in pens when, "in real life" (as I put it at the age of 6), they have miles of space. He didn't have an answer and we never went to the circus again.

Any place we can send baby clothes, formula, toys and such for this little guy? I'd like to help.

$30K for the GSR?

Wow.

The $1.99 for 100GB is tempting. It would be nice to not have to use two services (DropBox and Drive)...

I was waiting for the officials to do the "play on" gestures with their hands as they do in (Euro) football.

FoxSoccerGo does not cover EPL and has been very unreliable when I had it.
