3 mins. until game time

The McCarthey Center is sold out. 5990 people here to see Gonzaga complete a sweep of its home games, and advance. Plus a 10-person group that I think is Kennady McQueen’s family.

This region must be stuffed with people who think it’s natural to shoot colored people in the name of national security and oil profits. Two blocks away, there’s a little strip with a good breakfast stop and a Marines recruitment office. Two other storefronts (one a cookie baker, and I gladly would’ve patronized that) are closed.

A ROTC unit just marched in formation after the national anthem. I didn’t see them salute the cross adorning the highest corner of the building. Few groups annoy me as much as white people who think God wants them to behave like assholes. John Stockton, that means you.
