I wasn't the one doing the math but - very true...

There are approximately 5,000,000 people who may
attend the Boston Red Sox World Series Championship parade.
The proposed parade route is 3 miles long,
which is about 15,600 feet long.
The street has two sides to it, so we're talking
about 31,200 feet of roadside space.

5,000,000 (Red Sox fans) divided by 31,200 feet is over 160.
This means that our good mayor *Mumbles*
expects to fit 160+ people into every foot of
roadside parade-watching space.

I'd love to see this.

Even if people stand 10 deep on the sidewalks of both sides,
occupying no more than a foot apiece
ALL along the parade route they have lined out,
that will accommodate just around 312,000 people.
At 10 people deep either side, the parade route would need to be
47 miles long.

So...where are other 4,688,000 people supposed to watch from?

if persimmon is the new black
then what is black black?

jesus, i need a nap.

Portreo has both a Whisky AND a Rye.
George T. Stagg new batch should be in stores by November.
Ardbeg has a new release that was finished in SHERRY casks.

It's madness I tell you.

Tonight could be the night.
Dare I even say it....

Something to consider:
1. Lunar eclipse for Game 4 tonight...

(http://www.space.com/spacewatch/041022_eclipse_series.html)

A unique date in the annals of baseball history will be recorded Wednesday, Oct. 27 when for the first time a total lunar eclipse will occur during a World Series game. Millions of Americans watching Game 4 will also be able to partake in one of nature’s most beautiful sky shows, as Earth's shadow begins to cover the Moon during the early innings. Weather permitting, the eclipse will be visible to fans with a good line of sight at Busch Memorial Stadium. And, if FOX television producers so choose, the potential exists for this to be the biggest audience ever to see a lunar eclipse televised live. This notable Fall Classic owes partly to the fact that from 1903 through 1970, the World Series was only played during the daytime (The World Series was not played in 1904.) In 1971, night Series games were introduced. But no total lunar eclipse since that time has occurred at just the right time. There were two close calls during the 1980s. In 1985, a total lunar eclipse on Oct. 28 came the day after the final game of the World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals. The following year, another total eclipse occurred on Oct. 17. But that was the day before the start of the Series between the New York Mets and the Boston Red Sox. Even if the dates of these eclipses and World Series games had coincided, it would still have been a moot point since these two eclipses were visible only on the other side of the globe, across Asia. However, this week's eclipse will favor the Western Hemisphere with most Americans getting a ringside seat. The St. Louis Cardinals will host the Boston Red Sox at Busch Memorial Stadium in St. Louis. The ball game is set to get underway shortly after 8 p.m. EDT.
