“The World Series is baseball…”
That is what started a very interesting lunch conversation I had today at Worlds of Fun. Unbenownst to me, the initial speaker had seen a poster behind me about "The World Series of Barbecue", and had used that to spark his initial statement.

We see … and do not see …
