Sunday

Couldn’t find info on the creator of this beautiful work posted at pinterest.com. Apologies to the artist:

Headline from nypost.com: “Sun-shiner state: Spring breakers hold illegal beach boxing match — complete with cryptocurrency betting: wild video.” Oh, these kids today.

MDS strikes again. From NYP: “Driven mad: Deranged anti-Elon Musk dad scrawls swastika on Cybertruck in broad daylight — leaving Jewish owner stunned.”

Below the belt. From NYP: “Ooh, Canada! Canada has ‘nuclear weapon’ in trade war — ban Pornhub in US.” It’s Canuck owned. Somehow I don’t think porn stars will go for that.

Headline from newsmax.com: “Fauci Mural Removed at National Institutes of Health.” I think the place should have allowed folks to alter and add captions to it.

RIP NBA stalwart Donald Earl “Slick” Watts, 73, who succumbed to the effects of a stroke suffered four years ago. Born in Mississippi, a PG, he attended Xavier of Louisiana and was undrafted in ’73. Seattle took a chance on him and in ’75 he became a starter and excelled, the first player ever to lead the league in both assists and steals in the same season, named to the 1976 NBA All-Defensive First-Team. He was traded to New Orleans in ’77. In ’78 he was a member of the Houston Rockets, where he finished his career in ’79. In seven seasons he averaged 8.9 PPG, 2.2 SPG, 3.2 RPG and 6.1 APG. He then became a Phys. Ed. teacher in Seattle and also coached H.S. basketball for a while. He retired in 2017. He was involved in charitable causes. He was a father of one. Well done, Sir.

Not much action at the Anti-Inflation Book Shop on this dreary day. My thanks to the woman who donated two paperbacks in Russian, and to the gentleman who bought three books for his grandson and a collection of plays by Anton Chekhov for himself.
