Not at all, everybody’s gotta be sumthin. But I do usually root quietly against the teams that seem to win all the time and get all the breaks. 😃😎😉

Well possibly you already know, but I can’t resist sharing about the Ball & Mason jars that date back to just after the civil war and includes some WWII history too with victory gardens. No ties to Mason, OH that I’m aware of but Ball State University in Muncie, IN basically got it’s name from these jars. Enjoy.

Also Muncie has 2 other claims to fame...
