" Patriots Win ! " - not even SPORTS history has ended

My old friend Dave and I were planning to see the Superbowl game at a local sports bar in Cranston, RI.  Dave called me saying he was feeling too sick to leave his apartment.

 I tuned in by radio just before half time. SHOCKED - the Patriots were losing! My friend called sounding VERY pessimistic. I turned off the radio until the very last minute of the game. I thought I was in the Twilight Zone: " And the New England Patriots win! ".

I woke up at 5:00 AM and turned on the radio. No , it was NOT fake news. It did remind me of 3:00 AM in the morning after the SHOCKING " Trump Elected " news on my same old clock radio- which I wanted to junk months ago : only right wing RED EYE station comes in clearly.

History -not even SPORTS HISTORY - has ended. I am simply AMAZED. But my Lucretius philosopher assures me that the gods do not meddle in human affairs. I am not so sure in the morning twilight.
