France 83 - USA 76. Olympic Men's basketball



https://www.espn.com/mens-olympics-basketball/boxscore?gameId=401344325

France has put together its own formidable team including the NBA’s current Defensive Player of the Year, Rudy Gobert. Other NBA stalwarts on the French squad include former Blazer Nicolas Batum as well as Evan Fournier of the Boston Celtics and Frank Ntilikina of the New York Knicks. The French did not fare well in exhibition play, dropping a game to Japan and another one to Spain.

Weird: first time in an elevator since February 2020

On vacation in Myrtle Beach. Free week courtesy of a relative.

My daughter and I unloaded and took the cart into the elevator. We had masks on. It hit me - I haven’t been on an elevator since I worked downtown.

We did the grocery run and we were one of the few in masks. This was Saturday “moving in day” so everyone has fully loaded carts. They were out of mayo and yellow mustard. Slim pickings in several areas.

Oh and we are on the 6th floor of a condo probably built in the 80’s. 👍 😳

It's better to be safe than sorry

Ounce of prevention….pound of cure.


When you find yourself going against simple basic things you’ve known your whole life, THAT’s when you need to realize something has gone terribly wrong.

You may not be fully IN a cult but you are close. Your contrarianism or rugged individualism has put you somewhere that you can’t see for the trees.

Woody Harrelson and Mike Pence went to college together (news to me)

Long before he became an Oscar-nominated movie star and marijuana activist, Woody Harrelson studied theology and hobnobed with a fellow Hanover College student who was also destined for big things: Vice President Mike Pence.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday, the host asked Harrelson if he crossed paths with Pence in the early ’80s when they both attended the small liberal arts college in Hanover, Indiana, which is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church.

“I knew him, yeah. We were both very religious,” Harrelson said. “It was a Presbyterian college at the time, and I was there on a Presbyterian scholarship, and he was involved with the church activities.”

Harrelson went on to reflect on his former friendship with Pence, saying, “I actually quite liked him. I thought he was a pretty good guy. He’s, you know, very religious. Very committed.
