Always important to recognize milestones, even though it's amazing they haven't happened sooner. Also truly important to support the opportunity. Glad to see the support and excitement at this monumental event.
Yesterday Jen Pawol became the first female umpire to work a regular-season MLB game.

I liked these remarks from Chris Guccione (who has been an ump since 2000). "This is one of the proudest moments I've been part of....I have a daughter, and she was so excited to meet Jen."

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

Visually stunning and interesting building.
Polygone Riviera, France

This building is located in a open air French mall, divided into four districts (Home & Garden, Lifestyle, Premium and The Designer Gallery).
The 22 meter (72 ft.) building itself is titled “Guetteur” which translated to English means "the lookout".

While this article does bring up important points about supply chains, it also brings up important points about how interconnected things are. Even for things we take for granted. Important to contemplate in other areas of life.
