Sorry to hear, Nubbz. 

The comedy ones, are tolerable.  The sports ones, need to lean into the simulations.

My reading numbers have doubled/tripled during this period.   Mix of novels, non-fiction industry and pre-1920 baseball.  The only regular news I intentionally digest is the WSJ, as it has never raised its voice at me in the 25 years I've been reading it, and I can actually read about events and news which aren't loaded with hyperbole and vitriol, including plenty of non-CV news.   Thoughtful op-eds, no doubt moderate to right POV, and contributing columnists across the spectrum.

I'm reading a Terrible Beauty - it's about Ty Cobb.Dispels many of the fabricated myths surrounding him

I read his autobiography My Life in Baseball

good read

according to news reports there is some extortion happening where small business owners are being forced to pay for protection

but it really doesnt matter whether folks are being hurt or not

these people have set themselves up as the unelected government guarding the area with guns

cant be allowed or it will spread

maybe it could spread to Texas.....................


DALLAS — Dallas officials have agreed to a 90-day ban on the use of tear gas and other less-lethal police crowd-control weapons against demonstrators.

U.S. District Judge Sam Lindsay approved late Thursday a consent decree in which Dallas police agree not to use against peaceful demonstrators smoke bombs, flashbangs, pepperballs, Mace or other chemical agents. They also agree to not fire such impact projectiles as rubber bullets, bean bags or sponges.

why would the police need any of that stuff if it is a peaceful protest

just arrest anyone not being peaceful and theres no need for the other stuff

Problem 1: wife's best friend has breast cancer. Technically stage 3. Probably good prognosis. I broke "lockdown" a few weeks ago to shave her head because nobody else thought they could do it without bawling. I did it. I'm glad to do it rather than someone impersonal. But that's not something anyone should have to do. That one has dealt with too much negative BS in her life to deserve this. She spent 5 years taking care of her mom with early onset Alzheimer's. Her dad is a junkie. Her sister faces thyroid cancer last year. She's not 40 yet. It's crap.


Problem 2: wife's aunt was complaining about earaches. Turns out it's cancer spreading. She was supposed to have a 13 hour surgery today. They aborted it when they saw it's in her carotid and said "you have 6 months". Nothing they can do.

Just angry. Good people. They don't need this. But that's the world.

Hang in there, Bwarb.
It rains upon the just, and there's no getting around it.
