It Eventually Had To Happen ...

Thanks. Even a guy who still wears a black belt while officiating basketball games can occasionally get lucky and come up with a good post. It was my first good post in fifteen years and over 18,000 posts. Statistics and the law of averages said that it eventually had to happen. Don't hold your breath until the next one.

Are you calling me useless?

Only if you are correct at two, very specific, times of the day and totally incorrect at all other times of the day.

Why is my ex-wife posting under bucky's username?



Young'uns (and maybe some of the old'uns) can search for Alias Smith and Jones on the Google.

It does not mean you are right most of the time. Not sure what is hard about understanding this one.

Peace

Connecticut ...

It was just announced that all of our local IAABO board meetings in 2020-21 will be held via Zoom, probably starting in October or November.

That doesn't give me much confidence that high school basketball will be played in Connecticut this winter.

On a more positive note, I noticed that Halloween candy is on sale at Walmart, CVS, and Stop and Shop.

Instead of X-raying candy for needles and pins, parents will be asking for candy COVID testing.

Well, that is all anyone is doing, Zoom meetings. I have been to more Zoom meetings in the last few months that I have met with anyone like I would for work. And I was at a camp this past weekend. I think large gatherings are not going to be the choice until it is necessary (meaning the games).

Peace
