    But for totally unrelated reasons. Bill is probably smiling because he just rode his bicycle to the top of the tallest mountain in San Diego and spoke to the stars, the universe, and learned about how the bees and squirrels are combining forces to create a cleaner and more efficient way of the world to expand on the galaxy, while leading everyone to a peaceful co-habitation, which is surpassed only by the brilliant passing of Pistol Pete, who was arguably one of the best purest shooters in the history of the game, and despite his floppy socks and hair, was quite a musician in his own right, depending on how often his best teammate ever, Maurice Lucas, would gather the strength of the Blazermaniacs...those Blazermaniacs who would stomp their feet in unison and draw on the power of Dr Jack Ramsay and Lionel Hollins and will us to victory over Dr J and the vaunted Philadelphia 76ers.

    Dammit.

    And not for the reasons you might think. He's risking exposure to the 'rona! I want my NBA back!

    Are you saying that because he plays basketball his life matters more?

    Actually I just passed through LO and there were more than a few folks standing in the pouring rain waving Black Lives Matter and other signs in support of the protests. God bless those folks. LO needs to know that this touches them as deeply as it does the rest of white America.

    With the high fatality rate among blacks, does anyone know if the infection rate is also higher? (The fatalities are linked to underlying health conditions, but might that also make people more susceptible to getting it in the first place?) I haven't seen data on that, and of course, the accuracy of it would be in question because of testing limitations. It would be interesting to see if the return of the "big" sports is putting predominately black athletes at undue risk, though.

    It lets me click on it, but nothing happens. Does that Sly with all the videos posted on here unless it's a tweet.
