I still haven’t gone through the pickleball stage of late middle aged white folk yet. Puzzles and then finally bingo are even further out.

We have the gear, just haven’t played yet.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

From a Nate Silver newsletter.
Somewhat surprised by the magnitude of the blip around the Rodney King incident and subsequent riots. But then again I was living in Mexico and the internet wasn’t really part of our lives back then.
You were warned.

Pickleball gear, silly.
Janet has this puzzle mat that rolls up or something. Luna, the supernaturally good cat, never would bother it. Stella, on the other hand, lives to do that which is forbidden.

On FB today someone childishly insulted my favorite Italian restaurant. In my pique I looked for how to say asshole in Italian. Lo and behold, I found a cornucopia of Italian swear phrases!

When I left the U, one of the CRNAs gave me a book on how to swear in almost any language. I found it useful when I started working with more surgeons who were trained overseas.

Notice there are no or few people?
I remember reading an article about an old photo in Paris. In midday, there was not a person to be seen.
The explanation was that the exposure time on the photograph was so long that when people moved in the street, they essentially disappeared and were not captured on the plate.
