As a six year old did you understand what you were watching?

Are these Flying Termites in my house?!!!!!!
As much backpacking and camping that I've done massive numbers of insects while I'm sleeping is the stuff of nightmares.

Market/Financial Thread
My son got me thinking of this. A few years ago he sold some of his Tesla stock to buy a Tesla. Last year he sold some of his Ford stock to buy a Tremor. He's got a Rivian truck on order and you can guess his plan. It's not the wisest play, but seems fun. I have about a six year horizon before I buy my next truck. I doubt the electric truck capability will meet my needs in six years, but it will be interesting. My current outlook is needing a one ton truck to tow a fifth wheel and probably not be around civilization that much. Diesel is probably the option for me then, but who knows.

Golf/PGA TOUR thread
This week was championship week for some of my former and current players. All came so close to doing something remarkable. In the end it's been one kick in the gut after another. Texas HS 5A runner up. Texas HS 6A runner up. NCAA D1 top 10 Regional, barely missed qualifying for Nationals. But the sun came up this morning. They are all incredible young men and woman who I was very fortunate to get to know and I'm certain there will be bigger wins in their futures.

Are these Flying Termites in my house?!!!!!!
There is a slim chance the termite guy turned down a chance to pick up a couple thousand dollar termite case. But that little bit of doubt would have me do one of two things. Send one to your country extension office. Most places I've lived have experts to identify pests and stuff. Alternately if you have a university close by find out who the expert is. Second route is a second opinion from a different pest control company. I found this article interesting https://www.bigtimepestcontrol.com/blog/difference-flying-ants-termites I could tell from the picture but the ones in the cup look like they gave pinched down body sections making flying ants the more likely culprit. Either way you hosted an insect orgy with thousands of participants than when they were all getting laid you interrupted and killed them. I'd be worried that some sort of sex karma is going to get you.

The Lost Art of the Squeeze Bunt
There are lots of reasons not to, including all the DP possibilities. But since we don't have a game to watch, let's look at one more possibility. You send everyone and he misses. Now it's 2 out with runners on 2nd and 3rd. Now a sac fly ends the inning instead of being a game winner. I think with no outs I like attempting the bunt. Basically he will have two chances for the game winner. I don't like it as much with one out.

Lawsuit Filed Against the Sox
Age discrimination in most areas of the world is very very real. I find it sad that kids think they will become stupid at 50 or 60.

Hmm, PGA not releasing players to play a Saudi tour event. That's a tough call. I am anti Saudi tour, but I also support individual players in making choices.

2022 Catch All
I'm always impressed by people who have their acts together to plan that far out.

Lawsuit Filed Against the Sox
I think 90% of the players would prefer to not get injured and maximize their athletic potential. They also realize their careers are best served by having the best trainer possible.

Lawsuit Filed Against the Sox
So the team is guilty unless this goes to court? Is that really fair? If this is settled out of court it would mean that all parties, including the plaintiff, are satisfied. If the plaintiff is satisfied, I'm satisfied too. We won't know which it is but I'm not going to blame victims for settling or blame organizations for settling nuisance suits. You are certainly welcome to say you are not satisfied with the conclusion and take whatever action you find appropriate.

Lawsuit Filed Against the Sox
No. So if every detail *didn't* happen and they settle out of court, no consequences? Everyone ok with that? Which is why I really hope this isn't settled out of court. Based on the team's injury history his termination didn't raise any questions that I can remember. But knowing how inept the front office can be, his allegations aren't outside of possibilities.

Lol I think every team should take a look. It's bargain hunting.

Thank you. We'll probably head over to Buckingham Fountain and do all of the tourist stuff as well.

Thank you. Since I only get to a Sox game or two a year I don't mind spending more.
