    Messi staying at Barcelona.

    It didn't seem the most likely outcome, according to most who report on or know much about the club. I'm not sure how I felt on it, except that Bartomeu seems like a total idiot. If he left now in a transfer at least Barca will get something long term for it. If he leaves next year for free...

    Private vs public school

    I'm at a private school in another big southern city - our enrollment is currently about what it was at this time last year. Lower School is where we have the most people trying to get in. They will probably open up another section in some grades like 4th and 5th. We're going to start with in...

    đź”’ In about 120 Days

    Absolute rot. Steven Carillo, Air Force sergeant, who killed those two cops in CA during the protests (well, one was on security at a federal site I think) was one of your white-power buddies, not a "lib snowflake". He was an AR-15 totin', pipe-bomb throwing, website-warrior who set out to...

    My Recent Experience with THE COVID...

    You are correct in this statement, but it's like saying "I know there are some misspellings in the thesis" or "I admit there are some spiders in the baby's room." In the US alone 130,000 killed, if you hadn't seen the actual number. "But a lot of people have had it and are fine, and the fake...

    Mother Jones after "Ole Miss" name..

    Of course the name is awful. I was on campus for a decade, and I never once purchased a shirt or sticker or hat that said it, though I had some with UofM and such on it. It may not be this year, but the name will officially go away at some point in the near future, and I'd put money on that...

    Update on cord cutting costs

    I just know I have youtube music (after Google Play Music has gone kaput) and it will randomly stop listening from our single stream when there's no other device connected. Very frustrating.

    No minor league baseball this year

    That Texas collegiate summer league is looking pretty nice.

    Some MLB players sitting out season.

    Euro soccer leagues already been back and playing a few weeks at this point. The games I've watched (Spain) have had zero discussions about players missing or whole teams getting quarantined.

    Misshsaa Executive Committee meeting tomorrow

    That's a broad brush and a pretty shltty attitude towards teachers you've got there. As a MS/HS teacher, I had to work a hell of a lot harder to come up with ways to keep my class on track that last quarter of the year, teaching every class online, every day, through reading days and exams this...

    Why is Alabama's coast so much better than Mississippi's coast?

    When the Mississippi breaks through at the Old River Control Complex and starts emptying into the Atchafalaya instead of going on to Baton Rouge and New Orleans, it'll empty into the gulf a lot farther west (in addition to wiping Morgan City off the map). Mississippi beaches might see some...

    OT: Coins such as dimes nickles quarters and pennies.

    Covid is the perfect time to get rid of pennies, and maybe nickles too. Canada did away with pennies almost a decade ago and are fine. Everything is .90 or .95 instead of .93. With people using coins less due to credit/debit cards and even touchpass payments, and now needing to disinfect...

    COVID-19- Sports Winners and Losers - so far.

    I've started watching La Liga (pro soccer in Spain) and am enjoying that. They are playing in front of empty stadiums (with CGI fans and crowd noise for tv audience, which is silly), but it's still nice to see some team sports taking place.

    Nascar finally releases photo of the garage pull/noose...

    That's what I associated them with too. But I grew up with a dad watching westerns on tv often, not with people I knew or my parents knew actually getting mother17ing lynched with them, so, you know, some folks' associations with them are probably a lot stronger than ours. "Are they being too...

    1,092 New Covid Cases in MS today

    Sure, sure, sure. Minnesota had half the number of new cases yesterday that Mississippi had. All those Mississippi protesters, eh? Alabama yesterday had about the same number as Colorado and New York combined. Arkansas had almost as much as Illinois yesterday. I saw hundreds (400 or 500)...
