Tyler White showing well in MLB Rookie Class; Post 423 makes postseason

Things sure have formed quickly for the former Chase High School graduate as Tyler White became a Houston Astro. He was assigned to Orlando, Florida for Major League rookie ball and is now starting at third base for that rookie ball team. Wait, it gets even better!

Since joining the club for the last seven games, White currently is batting .429 on average, has 12 hits in 28 at-bats, with two doubles, a homer and eight RBI. While there will be some ups and down, it’s a great start for White in Florida.

Outdoor Truths

Outdoor Truths
   I love the outdoors but you can be assured of the fact that sooner or later accidents will happen. Most of the time these are minor and not worth mentioning. On other occasions they are more climatic and the setbacks are longer. Not only do accidents happen during our outdoor activities but they also happen in our everyday lives. Again, most of the time, they are minor inconveniences that are soon forgotten about. How many of us fishermen can remember the day or days that we dropped a rod into the lake or when we stepped on one and broke it?

Listen To Life

What ranks highest with you?
   After Pearl Harbor, General Theodore Roosevelt was flying on a plane and seats were hard to come by.  At a stop, priority was served on a very young sailor, but he wouldn’t get off the plane.  “I want to see my mother,” he said.
   “Sorry son,” the ticket agent said, “There’s a war on, you know.”
   Having heard all of this, General Roosevelt stepped up to the counter and said, “Give him my seat.  I’ll take a later plane.”
   A friend of Roosevelt’s walked up, having heard him give up his seat, and said, “Teddy, nobody is going to believe this when I tell it.  Aren’t you in a hurry, too?”
   And General Roosevelt said, “It’s a matter of rank.  I’m only a general.  He’s a son.”
   I guess respecting someone else’s rank depends on who’s doing the ranking, doesn’t it?  Some ranks are just more important than others and not necessarily the ones we think of.  Family ranks highest.
   As you make a positive life today, what ranks highest with you?
