Wednesday Wellspring

Saint Kamala is tilting right! The Staten Island Goombah is not fooled:

Wisdom. Headline from nypost.com: “More women are skipping college to make six figures as electricians, car mechanics and truck drivers.” Kudos.

The USA is still a long way from Soviet-style rule, but sometimes… Excerpt from an NYP editorial: “…more and more clinicians insist that psychotherapy is, foremost, a political rather than a clinical enterprise.” WTF?

RIP MLB stalwart Mike Cubbage, 74, who succumbed to cancer. Born in Charlottesville, he attended the University of Virginia, playing baseball and football. An infielder, in eight seasons “Cubby” hit .258 and socked 34 homers for the Rangers, Twins and Mets. He then managed in the minors for seven seasons. He was the skipper of the Mets the last seven games of the 1991 season. He was a coach for the Amazin’s, Astros and Red Sox until 2003. He is a member of the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame and the UVA Baseball Hall of Fame. He is survived by his wife Jan. Well done, Sir. Facts from Wiki, photo from GI:

RIP basketball legend Frank Selvey, 91. Born in Kentucky, he attended Furman U. in South Carolina, where he led the nation in scoring as a junior and senior, averaging 32.5 PPG during his career as a shooting guard. In 1954 he scored 100 points against Newberry, the only player to have ever cracked the century mark in Division I NCAA basketball. The school retired his # 28 and he was induced into its Hall of Fame. He is also a member of the Southern Conference Hall of Fame. He was selected by the Bullets, the first overall pick of the 1954 draft. In nine seasons he also played for the Hawks, Lakers, Knicks and Syracuse Nationals, averaging 10.8 PPG, 3.7 RPG, and 2.8 APG. His Lakers advanced to the finals in ’62 & ’63, losing to the mighty Celtics. In Game Seven of the ’63 finals, Selvey missed a 12-foot jumper at the buzzer that would have won the game, which went into overtime. He was a two-time All-Star. After his pro career ended, he became an assistant coach at his alma mater for two seasons, then was named head coach. He did not fare well, his overall record 44–59 in four seasons. He then went into business. Survived by his wife Barbara, he was a dad of two. Well done, Sir. Facts from Wiki, photo from GI:
