Night Owl Cards

(Greetings on National App day. I can recall the carefree days when I didn't know what an app was. Now I am wondering if there is a National Delete Your App day. I would like to celebrate that. Time for Cardboard Appreciation. This is the 360th in a series):   It came.

When I first thought about it, I tried to rank the best World Series games in my head but quickly gave up. However, yesterday at work I was wandering through my Facebook ...
