Something about that baseline. As a early teenager with a long client list of neighborhood yards to mow, I used to hum that baseline in my brain As kind of an aural meditative mantra.

The rules though 1) I've got to be able to tell you're over 6 feet tall at a glance.

Makes you feel like you hit the jackpot! When I fly, and it's been a while and I'm not planning on doing it anytime soon, I try to look like someone you do not want to sit next to so I can score an empty middle seat next to me. Will I go to hell for that?Quote:

We figured we would strategically choose a solo traveler from one of the later boarding groups and offer up the aisle seat while I moved to the middle. We knew what we had to do though when a young mother with a weeks old baby approached, despite our having planned to sleep most of the way to Baltimore. It turned out fine, as the baby really wasn’t much trouble and we were able to help the mom as she prepared to feed her, ate her own dinner, and went to the restroom without having to juggle the baby. I figure that ought to be worth enough good karma to save me from a kicking child behind me for a while.
I was once seated right by the restrooms and I offered to hold every single baby that came by so that moms could use the restroom alone. Score!!! I got snuggle time with 3 different babies. One screamed in my face while I just cooed and snuggled and told her that her mommy was going to be right back. She finally blinked, settled, and put her head on my shoulder just as mommy came back.Quote:

I offered to help her with the burden of having a baby and a bag, thinking she would hand me the carry on bag. Nope. She handed me the carry-on BABY. The look on the Florida manager’s face as he met me at the gate was pure shock as I walked toward him carrying a baby. (He knew I was a bachelor at that time.)

Almost as bad as the time I got stuck in traffic on the way to the Atlanta airport and barely made my flight to Seattle. I got there in time to make the flight, but after they had given away my original seat. Got stuck in the smoking section 3 rows from the back. I got stuck next to a chain smoking old lady who told me her tales of how her health was messed up from when she used carbon tetrachloride as a household cleaning solution. This was when they would feed you a dinner on long flights. They started from the front of the plane with the cart, until they got to my row. At that point they went back to the kitchen in the back and hand carried the trays from there. I was the last person to get a meal, whihc meant that not only did I not get to choose from the main two choices, I got a meal that was a special order for someone that missed the plane. I'm guessing they missed the plane because they died, because what they gave me was the most tasteless food I have ever had.

The first sentence is actually not correct. What it indicates is that I'm still relatively new at appreciating exactly how defense works, so my appreciation still has room to grow. It is much easier to appreciate good offense than good defense, IMO, and appreciating good defense really requires looking at the entire court and a lot of the off-ball action from the perspective of the defending team. I'm more used to watching the offense develop on both ends of the floor, so I've still got some learning to do.Quote:
Originally Posted by YmoBeThere
The second point is technically correct, but errs by omission. All-time great teams are good on both ends of the floor. If your team scores low 60s and wins anyway, if it's an all-time great team, that was a very bad day on offense, but it's still a win. An all-time great team can get held well below their scoring average and still win. But they can beat other teams 90-75, when their defense isn't working so well. So, yes, a team that routinely scores in the 40s to low 60s on offense won't be an all-time great team because they don't have a good enough offense. But it is also true that a team that routinely allows 75-90 points per game won't be a great team, either, because they don't have a good enough defense. All-time greats have to be at least good (if not very good) at both, so that when one part of their game is off, they can still win. That's obviously very rare, which is what makes them "all-time greats".

It turns out the guy who hit us was a medical internist just coming off a double shift, and he had fallen asleep at the wheel. The first bump woke him up, and when he tensed himself in surprise he inadvertently hit the gas and hit us again. He was appalled when he saw he'd hit a car with a near-term pregnant lady.Quote:

Scary stuff. I'm glad all is well in the end.
People have gone crazy. I am tailgated every single day. My short route to work includes a ~ mile stretch of 25 MPH neighborhood road. People use it as a cut-through and want to fly. They also ignore stop signs and school zones. I guess they know the police are short-handed and have little change of being pulled over. Killing someone with their reckless driving is not on their list of worries.
Yes, after my 3000 miles of driving, I'm a bit gun shy right now. I generally go (conditions permitting) no more than 4mph above the limit, and I'm getting passed by people left and right, easily going 15 mph faster. Yesterday in a Special Speed Zone on I-81 in PA(fines doubled), I couldn't believe how fast people were going...tailgating in great abundance, even the Jesus Plumbing Man (yes, there is one, and yes, he speeds like crazy).Quote:
