I had a weird couple of encounters today. Drove to Kroger to pick up vittles because I was making dinner for Ma. I park my car and I start walking towards the store and some guy, probably late 60s or early 70's goes up and takes a picture of my license plate. I asked him what he was doing and he says he takes pictures of cars with their tags in the wrong corner. Um, what the ****? I asked why it was his business and if he was the Tag Police. Looking around the parking lot there is no uniform spot for the sticker, saw stickers in every corner on different cars and in the middle. Anyway he gets into his red Ford pickucp and starts to back up so I get behind him to get a look at his plate and wow, he didn't like that at all. What's going on here? What kind of scam could be at play. By the way, his plate was 6PX K17. Truly bizarre. Then I stop at 7-11 at Monroe & Dartmouth in Dearborn and the poor guy behind the counter yells out like he stepped on a nail or something, then falls backwards, hits his head on the floor has a grand mal siezure. He starts doing that fencing thing where his arms and hands go rigid even thought he's out cold. Called 911 and waited so I could tell the EMTs what I saw. After dinner with mom I stopped by the store to talk to his boss and he is still at the hospital and talking alert, so I am glad he's going to be okay. Interesting day. But what's up with the guy taking my plate number. That was odd. He was not on the road when I was, so it could have been something I did driving (I am a very aggressive and impatient driver. Green light means go. 10 under the speed limit is unacceptable to me).

I use it... in concert with the warning labels and at the recommendation of the local extension office. If you do that, there is little risk to the environment. And down here weeds can take over and kill a lawn.

How bad is Boston?

They made the switch against Atlanta. It gets more people involved in the offense, less ISO Brunson, keeps KAT engaged. He averages 3.1 assists for his career. Today was his third game in this year's playoffs with 10 assists in a game.

By the law of averages, it seems like this team should stumble into, fall backwards into, and fall from great heights into, a pit of Hell and hit a trampoline the Devil‘s children left there by mistake while they were playing, and soar so high that they win a game no matter what.

Vest, Brieske

No team can have enough depth to cover this many injuries. Making a list...who am I missing? I'm sure there has to be a couple more; Jobe JV Melton Olson Mize Skubal Carpenter Baez Torres Meadows

With Carpenter hurt, Perez's job is safe. The Tigers have to use 3 outfielders and the choices are getting slim. Any word on Javy? Our defense is really suffering because of injuries. Our offense is really suffering because of injuries. Our pitching is really suffering because of injuries.

He's needs a blower in the Majors.

Making 90% of their freaking 3 pointers in the 1st quarter makes the coach look good? Even if they were wide open, very impressive shooting.

So Pig-King (or more likely Pig-King’s follicly-challenged ventriloquist) is now straight-up boasting that they “won” in 2024 by sending thugs to intimidate voters at polling places, and are planning to do so again for the midterms. Neat.

The Wizards are ready to take a jump. Young talent and now #1 pick

Oh well. I hate to give Mike Brown credit. But the Knicks have looked amazing since they started playing through KAT in the high post more.

Make it Jim Abbott and they're golden

Might as well not lose 🤷‍♂️

the reason tanking is worse is because everything they have done to try to reduce tanking has had the result of increasing the number of teams willing to take a shot at the first pick. It's a counter-intuitive thing. Teams tank normally if there one player head and shoulders (in Wemby's case, literally) above the field. If they just went back to worst record gets 1st pick, there would one, maybe at least two teams fighting it out to be worst, and everyone else would play on because they know they have zero shot at #1. And the one team that tanked would get the player so it would be one time thing for them. The objective evidence is that the 'fixes' have all made it worse, but no-one figures out that the answer to that is dump all the fixes.It's the lottery itself that encourages more teams the take their shot at a ~10% (or whatever) chance.

Pacers gambled and lost.

But, Jim Morris would make for a better story........ Maybe they would make a movie about him. 😉

And make it illegal to trade 1st round picks. Protect teams from themselves.

league rewards the bulls. again.
