One of the presidents who rotated into the medical school I worked at for two decades, a Texan, kept a single picture on his desk...his late mother, likely in her late 70's when the picture was taken, in front of their ranch house wearing an apron, holding up an immense rattler in one hand and...
A 20 year study of the success rate of draft picks from 1996-2016:

52% had very limited playing time as primarily back-ups.
11% were mediocre players with starts over 2-3 years.
12% were good, solid multi-year starters.
7% were excellent players that went onto multiple...
Carried .38 snake shot at a friend's riverfront property in rattler country, never had to use it, a few practice rounds at cardboard to determine pattern size showed 10' about max for sufficient cluster...btw, snake shot shouldn't be used in ported revolvers.

in the last two years the Lakers have been given well over 900 foul shots...second place just over 600, the rest 400 to 500 fouls...so hard to feel sorry for Bron' about not getting calls, when few have ever coaxed more out of the ref's
last night were two of the best play-off games ever...Murray's last second shot to win the game was next level. Lakers so altitude gassed in the fourth quarter they were hyperventilating
Rabbit hair pulled from Zonker strips makes for a fine tail, as long as it is detached from the skin which gets soaked and alters the balance of the fly
