    I took this today.

    Hope you at least gave that poor guy a couple words of encouragement 

    I did. And was able to talk a bit with a few Ukrainian officers from the Liaison team in DC. Wish I could have bought them all a beer but they were in Uniform and about to head out for meetings.

    Inka was actually in DC to promote his new book: My Addiction to Night Soil--Gardening the InkaUtexas Way!!

  2. Been out of town a lot for work, but have spent the past week at home. Weather has mostly been great, so that's granted me more time to get out, pedal, and explore.

    Trails are still weeks behind the average year, but the amount of dry singletrack is night and day compared to just three weeks ago.

    I stop and take a picture here every spring, it seems.

    Same location, just reverse view, looking back toward town.

    Won't be able to ride as much this week as duty calls once again. Just as well--my grundle is very disgruntled.

    Quote

    United States international defender Sergiño Dest suffered a knee injury in PSV Eindhoven training on Saturday, casting his place at this summer's Copa America into doubt.

    Dest, 23, is on loan at PSV from Barcelona and has helped the side romp to the top of the Eredivisie. With four games to play, they are nine points clear of Feyenoord and set to win the league title.

    Dest, however, is unlikely to play for them again this season after a PSV statement described his injury as "serious."

    The statement added the extent of Dest's condition is still being investigated, but they expect him to be out for a lengthy period.

    Feels like a big loss, if I'm honest.

    We've got some serviceable right backs, but none of them can do what Dest can. And his defense has improved over the past few years

    Nuggets haven't shot a FT in the second half. Totally normal.

    Nineteen free throws for the Lakers to Denver's 6. And the Nuggets have been in control since early in the third.

    The beer might represent the later.

    You think like a farmer, not an artist.

    The green swirl represents "the later" because it resembles how the chorizo con juevos will look as they're being flushed ...

    This site would be better if there weren't any dipshit Spurs fans posting here.

    What do you have against Tottenham, and why is that relevant to the hoops forum?

    Yes. At least get Iran to agree to a ceasefire and get it to (temporarily) cease funding terror campaigns. I’m not sure some of yall realize how bad ass Israeli military is. Head to head, Israel would absolutely obliterate Iran. Is this a real question?

    And how do you imagine Israel will get boots on the ground in Iran? Do you genuinely believe Jordan, Syria, Iraq or other Muslim nations would simply allow Israel unfettered access to their airspace, or that they'd be OK with columns of Israeli tanks and troops driving through their borders?

    Israel doesn't have much of an amphibious surface fleet AFAIK, and it's not as if Egypt would allow one passage through the Suez, anyway. But the thought of an Israeli invasion force slowly working its way around the Arabian Peninsula definitely brings the chuckles.

    This is entertaining, so please keep the answers coming.
