Junk Drawer 7/3 - Why signing Hedo means we'll have to trade Batum?

Corvid had a neat comment in another thread.

I don’t think homo sapiens are wired to deal with uncertainty very well. One of the the things I love about this time of year is seeing how different people respond to the suspense. Some people step back and and get superanalytical; some put their faith in their fearless leader; some strive to uncover every piece of information and solve the puzzle; and yes, some go nuts. It makes for very interesting reading.

What kind of person on you?

I work nights at a group home with disabled folks. One of them wears a Jazz hat, but I’m not allowed by law to make him take it off.

do this quick

remove hat to comb hair and replace hat with a blazer one. He won’t notice because he can’t see the top of his head.

i end up doing that when i sell stuff

i’ll list something and i’ll have 10 people email and say they’re “interested”

instead of giving the first guy dibs, my new thing is “Whoever brings me the cash first can have it.”

Works pretty well. Last time the lady showed up and paid me 320 when it was only supposed to be 300 or something. I don’t think she knew she overpaid, and I felt bad, so I ran out to her rig and gave her the twenty back. She didn’t even say tanks.

I just really don’t like him as a player.

1.) I hate his super over the top Western forehand.

2.) I hate that he plays tennis in an athletic, macho sort of way. Tennis should be smooth and he ruins that.

3.) I hate his capri pants, hair, etc.

I posted it mostly for the photos and stuff

quick summary: Chris Bosh, the anti-prima donna in Caceres, leaves a mark thanks to his values and kindness.

He spent three days there, tried to learn a bit of Spanish before the trip, was open and cheerful with the kids, had a great time visiting Calderon’s place.
Calderon: “I already knew about his town and his place, and I wanted him to come and visit mine”
Bosh: “Coming here and being able to meet his people, everyone here ’s really kind, I have realized why Jose is like he is”.

I've got a river that takes about 3 1/2 hours to float down (the safe part)

…but it’s just cold enough to kill you in like 3 1/2 minutes. At leasts what it feels like. Very tempting though, its already in the 80’s and getting hotter by the minute.

In the Hedo thread, I saw a comment pop up by Roybot and someone else and hit Z and nothing happened. They were all marked as read and I didn’t do anything.

Is it a case of the page not scrolling to the new comments when you press Z or the comments not being marked as new at all?

Sometimes it works

It would go from where I was at then work it’s way to the bottom and then move back to the top. Then in like 3 out of 10 times, everything would just be gone.

Actually, a lot of the time, I’ll open a thread and crappy $%# SBNation would mark every post as read.

But if anyone were to be interested. Last September on my birthday, I was taken to a certain establishment in North Portland named Dancin’ Bare. There was a female employee that looked just like Sarah Palin. I think her name was Jenna.

i knew i had a gig with djangovitis today, i just thought it was at 8 pm, not noon. It all worked out fine thank my lucky stars, and the folks at the old folks home in NE probably didn’t even realize i was a tad late. Seriously, who books a jazz group at noon on a friday?

Jewish people tend to feel a strong, tribal connection to their ancestors

Hence the continuation of so many Jewish traditions. Still though, a very low percentage of American Jews follow most (let alone all) of the Jewish dietary restrictions.

I met him in Portland, he sat in with my group a few times, he is over the top good at guitar, we played a waltz he didn’t know, then, when i ran into him in Samois-sur-Seine, like a year or two later, he had learned the waltz and we played it, pretty nice guy, another Catalan/Spain/Portland connection. He is a seasoned dude that can play many styles, and is also a classical composer.
