Chile’s magnificent Marble Caves
Caves are, by their very nature, some of the most mysterious and beautiful places beneath the surface of the planet Earth. One such cave system, one uniquely interesting, is the

M's HIT tool ranks 70 so far
.
In terms of bases gained and bases lost, the M's deserve to be 3-and-3. They've faced two contenders, on the road. Back away from the ledge, kiddies. The first six games have gone very well for a young team in search of an identity.
..............
Bill James once said, "baseball is about the strike zone." The Mariners' batting average isn't yet best in the league, but if this keeps up, it soon will be ....
Has it seemed to you like the M's are seeing the ball well? F/X backs up our suspicions.
Friday Fun: Things to do with rocks, pipes and gutters
Here are some fun things to do this weekend or the week ahead:
Play at Home Mom has several fun ideas to use with pipes and gutters. We made a water wall in our yard with old cups in a similar fashion, so if you don’t have any piping try cutting holes out of cheap cups and angling them at one another.

Trust and honesty do still exist
I feel like there currently isn't a lot of trust between people in the United States. For most of us, whenever we leave our house, car or anything with a lock, we make sure that the lock is firmly in place.

The fine line "Dry" walks
Augusten Burroughs' 2003 memoir Dry (now bound for the Showtime network) walks a fine line between fact and fiction.
