Thanks KSB. Hope all is good.

The fall didn't "disqualify" her, she missed a gate. She could technically get up and go back through the gates correctly, but once she went down/off course she was effectively out of the race anyway.

Glad to see you're still kicking skids.

Not Netflix, Hulu, but "Mr Inbetween" is excellent.

The full movie is available on youtube.

Hoping for the best for you skids.

Thirded. We're big softball fans around our house. Slapping seems to be falling by the wayside a little bit since they changed the in/out of the batter's box rules. Hotter bats are making it more of a power game as well.

'The Reckoning' by David Halberstam. It's basically about the history of the auto industry in American and Japan - focused on Ford and Nissan - but with a lot of tangential historical asides about oil, Japanese reconstruction, etc. Fascinating stuff. In the hands of a lesser writer it could be pretty dry stuff but Halberstam makes it a page-turner. The only thing I'd read of his prior to this was 'The Education of a Coach'. Now I'm thinking I need to read a lot more of his books.

Gas pretty much always goes up in the spring/early summer due to refinery changeovers for seasonal fuel blend changes. Also price of oil has been going up with Saudi and Russia cutting production. Also, also the Texas power outage shut down a good portion of the country's refineries for a time.

Newbie looking for opinions.

Thanks. Cool. I don't play online but love a good CoD Campaign.

Anybody play the campaign?

Coal has been steadily declining as an electricity source for more than a decade and is now well out-paced by natural gas, which is much cheaper and much cleaner. Coal is dying because natural gas is killing it. We actually produce almost as much nuclear power as coal power at this point. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/22/U.S._annual_electricity_generation_by_energy_source_in_1970_through_2019_(49882975922).png
